Handles for Phy, Mac are already defined once the node is configured using node-config and declared with "$ns Node_(0) [new node]". We just have to bring them to local scope. To get the handle for Phy, say for Node_(0), once the node is defined, do: set Netif_0 [$Node_(0) set netif_(0)] Note that the variable netif_ is a array and hence we use "netif_(0)" to get the handle for the first Network Interface. "netif_(1)" and "netif(2)" .. can be similarly used for Second and Third Network Interfaces, if the node was configured with multiple interfaces. To get the handle for Similarly, the handles for Mac, Interface Queue can be gotten from set Mac_0 [$Node_(0) set mac_(0)] set Ifq_0 [$Node_(0) ifq_(0)] Like netif_, mac_ and ifq_ are also arrays facilitating multiple interfaces. Once the handles are brought to local scope, we can use any command that is defined in their respective source files, like for WirelessPhy we can use "$Netif_0 NodeOff" to switch off the node to deactivate the Network Interface. Look in the procedure "Node/MobileNode instproc add-interface" in the file ns-mobilenode.tcl for the definitions of netif_ , mac_ , ifq_ and more. -- Santhosh Kumar
