Hello!

I (think) I am following the correct NCL syntax here...but..

ncl> create node 0 routing circuit csmacd-0 type = csma-cd
ncl> set node 0 routing circuit csmacd-0 data link entity csma-cd

Here should be the data link entity defined completely as is done below.
It would be more clear if you use another name for the routing circuit entity than is used for the csma-cd station entity.

ncl> set node 0 routing circuit csmacd-0 enable phaseiv address true
ncl> enable node 0 routing circuit csmacd-0

Node 0 Routing Circuit csmacd-0
AT 2013-02-13-13:05:26.514-05:00I-----

FAILED IN DIRECTIVE: Enable
DUE TO: Error specific to this entity's class

REASON: Open Port Failed
Description: The Open Port call to the specified Data Link failed

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

This is the script:

create csma-cd
create csma-cd station csmacd-1 communication port tu0
enable csma-cd station csmacd-1
create routing circuit circuit-1 type csma-cd

create node 0 routing type endnode
set node 0 routing phaseiv address = 9.3
enable node 0 routing
set routing circuit circuit-1 enable phaseiv address true
set routing circuit circuit-1 data link entity csma-cd station csmacd-1
enable routing circuit circuit-1
