HP UX Internet and Networking Software manual Retrytimeout, Idletimeout, Pvcid, Snid, Cud

Administration Commands

define_qllc_ls

Specify a value on the range 1–255. If vc_type is set to PVC, this parameter is ignored for QXID messages; XID sending is retried indefinitely (an initially active LS can wait indefinitely for the remote station to become active).

retry_timeout

Timeout in seconds for QXID, QSM, or QDISC messages. A message will be retried (up to the number of times specified by retry_limit) if no response is received within this time. Specify a value in the range 1–255.

idle_timeout

Timeout in seconds used to detect a completely idle line. This value is used during connect processing for SVCs when the local station is secondary and waiting for XIDs. If no message is received in this time, SNAplus2 assumes that the remote station has failed.

Specify a value in the range 1–255. This parameter is ignored if vc_type is set to PVC.

pvc_id

PVC identifier. Set this parameter to a decimal number to identify which PVC (from the range of PVCs defined for your X.25 provider software) to use for this LS. This parameter is reserved if vc_type is set to SVC.

sn_id

Subnet identifier. This parameter identifies the physical connection to the X.25 network.

Set this parameter as follows:

•If you have more than one X.25 adapter card installed in the HP-UX computer, set the first character of this parameter to 0 (zero) to use the first card, 1 to use the second card, and so on.

•If you have only one X.25 adapter card, set the first character of this parameter to 0 (zero).

•If the card is a multi-port card, set the second character of this parameter to p; set the third character to 1 to indicate the first port on the card, 2 to indicate the second port, and so on. For example, 0p2 indicates the second port on the first multi-port card.

This parameter matches the final character or characters of the X.25 driver name associated with the LS.

cud

Call user data. This parameter identifies the protocol to use over the underlying X.25 virtual circuit, and is used only if the vc_type parameter is set to SVC.

For most implementations, this parameter is set to a single hex byte, which is 0xC3 to request that the called node supports the 1980 QLLC level, or 0xCB to request 1984 support. Some remote systems may require additional bytes; contact the System Administrator of the remote system if necessary.

dddlu_offline_supported

Specifies whether the local PU should send NMVT (power off) messages to the host. If the host system supports DDDLU (Dynamic Definition of Dependent LUs), SNAplus2 sends NMVT (power off) to the host when it has finished using a dynamically defined LU. This allows the host to save resources by removing the definition when it is no longer required.

This parameter is used only if this link is to a host (solicit_sscp_sessions is set to YES and dspu_services is not set to NONE).

Possible values are:

YES

The local PU sends NMVT (power off) messages to the host.

NO

The local PU does not send NMVT (power off) messages to the host.
