Description

The SET LINK command sets options for one or more or links. The options are link enabled or disabled, link autoisolate, link checksum and link inactivity timeout.

The parameter link-nameis the node from which connect attempts are to be honored (or not). Note that disabling the link prevents incoming connections over an established link. It only takes effect when new connect attempts are made. It does not effect the ability to connect to a node whose link has been disabled. The link-namecan be wildcarded.

The current state of the link can be displayed with the SHOW LINK/STATUS command. When looking at connection problems both ends of the link counters should be used with the SHOW LINK/COUNTER command.

Qualifiers

/AUTOISOLATE /NOAUTOISOLATE (D)

Any RTR node may disconnect a remote node if it finds the remote node is unresponsive or congested. The normal behavior following such action is automatic network link reconnection and recovery.

Node autoisolation allows a node (the isolator) to disconnect a congested or unresponsive remote node (the isolatee) in such a way that when the congested node attempts to reconnect it receives an instruction to close all its network links and cease connection attempts. A node in this state is termed isolated.

Some applications require that a node which is suspected of causing congestion (that is, not processing network data sufficiently quickly) is isolated from the rest of the network, so as to cause minimum disruption. The node autoisolation feature meets this requirement.
