HP UX Internet and Networking Software manual Targetpacingcount, Maxsendbtusize, Reacttimer

Administration Commands

define_ip_ls

User-defined parameters, that you can use to include other TG characteristics not covered by the previous parameters. Each of these parameters must be set to a value in the range 0–255.

target_pacing_count

Indicates the desired pacing window size. Specify a value in the range 1–32,767.

max_send_btu_size

Maximum BTU size that can be sent from this link station. This value is used to negotiate the maximum BTU size that a pair of link stations can use to communicate with each other. The value includes the length of the TH and RH (total 9 bytes) as well as the RU. Specify a value in the range 265–65,535.

initially_active

Specifies whether this LS is automatically started when the node is started. Possible values are:

YES

The LS is automatically started when the node is started.

NO

The LS is not automatically started; it must be manually started.

If the LS is a leased link, you are recommended to set this parameter to YES to ensure that the link is always available.

react_timer

Reactivation timer for reactivating a failed LS. If the react_timer_retry parameter is a nonzero value (to specify that SNAplus2 should retry activating the LS if it fails), this parameter specifies the time in seconds between retries. When the LS fails, or when an attempt to reactivate it fails, SNAplus2 waits for the specified time before retrying the activation. If react_timer_retry is 0 (zero), this parameter is ignored.

react_timer_retry

Retry count for reactivating a failed LS. This parameter is used to specify whether SNAplus2 should attempt to reactivate the LS if it fails while in use (or if an attempt to start the LS fails).

Specify 0 (zero) to indicate that SNAplus2 should not attempt to reactivate the LS, or specify the number of retries to be made. A value of 65,535 indicates that SNAplus2 should retry indefinitely until the LS is reactivated.

SNAplus2 waits for the time specified by the react_timer parameter between successive retries. If the LS is not successfully reactivated by the end of the retry count, or if stop_ls is issued while SNAplus2 is retrying the activation, no further retries are made; the LS remains inactive unless start_ls is issued for it.

If the auto_act_supp parameter is set to YES, the react_timer and react_timer_retry parameters are ignored; if the link fails, SNAplus2 does not attempt to reactivate it until the user application that was using the session attempts to restart the session.

If the LS is a leased link, you are recommended to set this parameter to a non-zero value to ensure that the link is always available.

restart_on_normal_deact

Specifies whether SNAplus2 should attempt to reactivate the LS if it is deactivated normally by the remote system. Possible values are:

YES

If the remote system deactivates the LS normally, SNAplus2 attempts to reactivate it, using the same retry timer and count values as for reactivating a failed LS (the react_timer and react_timer_retry parameters above).

NO
