Administration Commands

define_node

Specifies whether the node provides mode-to-COS mapping. This parameter is ignored for a network node; mode-to-COS mapping is always supported. For a LEN node, mode-to-COS mapping is not supported. Possible values are:

YES

The node provides mode-to-COS mapping. A mode defined for this node must include its associated COS name, which specifies either an SNA-defined COS or a COS defined using define_cos.

NO

The node does not provide mode-to-COS mapping. The network node server for the end node performs mode-to-COS mapping.

mds_supported

Specifies whether Management Services (MS) supports Multiple Domain Support (MDS) and Management Services Capabilities. Possible values are:

YES

MDS is supported.

NO

MDS is not supported.

node_id

Node identifier used in XID exchange. This ID is a 4-byte hexadecimal string, consisting of a block number (three hexadecimal digits) and a node number (five hexadecimal digits).

max_locates

Maximum number of locate requests (requests for which a response has not yet been received) that the node can process simultaneously. When the number of outstanding locate requests reaches this limit, any further locate requests are rejected. Specify a value in the range 8–65,535.

dir_cache_size

Network node only: Size of the directory cache. The minimum size is 3. You can use the information returned on query_directory_stats to help determine the appropriate size.

max_dir_entries

Maximum number of directory entries. Specify a value in the range 8–65,535, or 0 to indicate no limit.

locate_timeout

Specifies the time in seconds before a network search will time out. The value 0 (zero) indicates no time out.

reg_with_nn

End node only: Specifies whether to register the node’s resources with the network node server when the node is started. Possible values are:

YES

Register resources with the network node server. The end node’s network node server will only forward directed locates to the end node.

NO

Do not register resources with the network node server. The network node server will forward all broadcast searches to the end node.

reg_with_cds

End node: Specifies whether the network node server is allowed to register end node resources with a central directory server (CDS). This parameter is ignored if reg_with_nn is set to NO.
