Miscellaneous

Features

Perform these optional tasks to configure miscellaneous features of an ISO CLNS network:

zSpecify Shortcut NSAP Addresses

zUse the IP Domain Name System to Discover ISO CLNS Ad dresses

zCreate Packet-Forwarding Filters and Establish Adjacencies

zRedistribute Routing Information

zSpecify Preferred Routes

zConfigure ES-IS Hello Packet Parameters

Specify Shortcut NSAP Addresses

You can define a name-to-NSAP address mapping. This name can then be used in place of typing the long set of numbers associated with an NSAP address.

In global configuration mode, define a name-to-NSAP address map- ping:

clns host name nsap

The assigned NSAP name is displayed, where applicable, in show and debug EXEC commands. However, some effects and requirements are associated with using names to represent NETs and NSAP ad dresses.

The clns host global configuration command is generated after all other CLNS commands when the configuration file is parsed. As a re- sult, you cannot edit the nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) version of the configuration to specifically change the ad- dress defined in the original clns host command. You must spe- cifically change any commands that refer to the original address. This affects all commands that accept names.

The commands that are affected by these requirements include:

znet (router configuration command

zclns is-neighbor(interface configuration command)

zclns es-neighbor(interface configuration command)

zclns route (global configuration command)
