Description

The SET NODE command sets the automatic isolation characteristics and the link timeout default of a node.

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.

Remote node autoisolation may be enabled (at the isolator) where it applies to all links using SET NODE/AUTOISOLATE, or for specific links only with the SET LINK/AUTOISOLATE command. An isolated node (isolatee) remains isolated until you carry out both of the following actions:

•Enable the link to the isolated node on all nodes that have isolated it, that is set link [isolated-node]/enable

•Exit the isolated state on the isolated node, that is set node/noisolate

Autoisolation is disabled (at the isolator) using the /NOAUTOISOLATE qualifier.
