Managing Your Access Server As a LAT Node Offering a Service

Heading

Description

 

 

Rating

Relative capability for a service node to process new

 

sessions. The service rating is assigned by a service

 

node for each service that it offers. With the higher

 

rating, the capability of the service node to accept a

 

new connection is greater. The access server uses

 

service ratings to decide where to establish a service

 

session when two or more service nodes offer the

 

same service. The access server attempts to connect to

 

the service on the node that advertises the highest

 

rating for the service.

Identification

Service identification string for this service node.

 

This string may be different from the service node

 

identification string.

 

 

Displaying Services Summary

The SHOW/MONITOR SERVICES SUMMARY command displays one line of information on each selected service or services. Use the keyword LOCAL to obtain information on locally defined services. Without the keyword LOCAL or a particular service name, you get information on all network services. For the SHOW/MONITOR commands, the summary display is the default display for the SERVICES, SERVICES ALL, and SERVICES LOCAL entity specifications.

The display contains one line of headings and, for each service known to the access server, one line of information describing each service.

The access server displays information about a service or services from data stored in its memory. If none of the ports can access a particular service, the access server does not retain any data about that service. Hence, no information about that service can be displayed.

Note

Ports with the LIMITED VIEW command enabled cannot perform the SHOW SERVICES command.
