HP UX Internet and Networking Software Maxifrmrcvd, Branchlinktype, Adjbrnncpsupport, Ipmaxretry

Administration Commands

define_ip_ls

If the remote system deactivates the LS normally, SNAplus2 does not attempt to reactivate it.

If the LS is a host link (specified by the adj_cp_type parameter), or is automatically started when the node is started (the initially_active parameter is set to YES), this parameter is ignored; SNAplus2 always attempts to reactivate the LS if it is deactivated normally by the remote system (unless react_timer_retry is zero).

max_ifrm_rcvd

Maximum number of I-frames that can be received by the local link stations before an acknowledgment is sent. Specify a value in the range 1–127.

branch_link_type

This parameter applies only if the local node is a Branch Network Node; it is not used if the local node is any other type.

If the parameter adj_cp_type is set to NETWORK_NODE, END_NODE, APPN_NODE, or BACK_LEVEL_LEN_NODE, this parameter defines whether the link is an uplink or a downlink. Possible values are:

UPLINK

The link is an uplink.

DOWNLINK

The link is a downlink.

If adj_cp_type is set to NETWORK_NODE, this parameter must be set to UPLINK.

adj_brnn_cp_support

This parameter applies only if the local node is a Branch Network Node and the adjacent node is a network node (the parameter adj_cp_type is set to NETWORK_NODE, or it is set to APPN_NODE and the node type discovered during XID exchange is network node). It is not used if the local and remote nodes are any other type.

This parameter defines whether the adjacent node can be a Branch Network Node that is acting as a Network Node from the point of view of the local node. Possible values are:

ALLOWED

The adjacent node is allowed (but not required) to be a Branch Network Node.

REQUIRED

The adjacent node must be a Branch Network Node.

PROHIBITED

The adjacent node must not be a Branch Network Node.

If adj_cp_type is set to NETWORK_NODE and auto_act_supp is set to YES, this parameter must be set to REQUIRED or PROHIBITED.

ip_ack_timeout

Duration for the acknowledgment timer (sometimes called the T1 timer): the time in milliseconds within which a response must be received for a command frame sent to the adjacent link station. If the response is not received within this time, a duplicate frame is sent.

A lower value for this parameter means that lost packets will be detected quickly, but may increase network traffic.

Specify a value in the range 0–65535. This parameter should be set to a value greater than twice the expected network latency. A typical value is 2000 milliseconds.
