Common Configuration Mistakes

Common Configuration Mistakes

The following list describes some common configuration errors that may result in failure during verification. The errors are grouped by the configuration file that contains them.

See the “OTS and Related Parameters” chapter in the OSI Transport Services manual for detailed information about all the parameters.

ots_dests Common Mistakes

•Mistyped dest_net_address or the dest_phys_address, will cause a fail in your attempt to connect.

•Destination entries must be made in order for loopback to work over both CONS and CLNS/X.25. Be sure to include any X.25 subaddress when specifying the physical address.

•Destination entries must be made in order for loopback to work over CLNS/ LAN when CLNP Subset 0 is used. In other cases, destination entries for LAN should be avoided.

•Specifying the incorrect outgoing subnetwork for a destination, will cause a fail to connect.

•When specifying reverse charging for X.25, the remote must be configured to accept it. Otherwise, it will reject your connection.

ots_subnets Common Mistakes

•Mistyping your local address will cause the remote systems to be unsuccessful in connecting with you.

•Incorrect CLNP subset for LAN. This can prevent interoperability with other systems on the LAN. See the parameter snet_clnp_subset.

•LAN-based networks with a large number of nodes (over 200), should have the parameter snet_max_es_entries increased. Not doing so can result in failure to establish connections with other systems.
