HP UX Internet and Networking Software manual Porttype, Portswitched, Portnonswitched

Administration Commands

define_sdlc_port

Name of the port to be defined. This name is a character string using any locally displayable characters.

description

A text string describing the port. SNAplus2 uses this string for information only. It is stored in the node’s configuration file and returned on the query_port command.

dlc_name

Name of the associated DLC. This name is a character string using any locally displayable characters. The specified DLC must have already been defined.

port_type

Type of line used by the port. Possible values are:

PORT_SWITCHED

Switched line.

PORT_NONSWITCHED

Non-switched line.

port_number

The number of the port.

max_rcv_btu_size

Maximum BTU size that can be received. This value includes the length of the TH and RH (total 9 bytes), as well as the RU. Specify a value in the range 265–4105.

tot_link_act_lim

Total link activation limit (the maximum number of links that can be active at any time using this port).

If port_type is set to PORT_NONSWITCHED and ls_role is set to LS_PRI or LS_SEC, the range is 1–254. If a value greater than 1 is specified, the port is defined as multi-drop (primary) or multi-PU (secondary). In all other cases, this parameter must be set to 1.

inb_link_act_lim

Inbound link activation limit (the number of links reserved for inbound activation). The sum of inb_link_act_lim and out_link_act_lim must not exceed tot_link_act_lim; the difference between inb_link_act_lim and tot_link_act_lim defines the maximum number of links that can be activated outbound at any time.

If port_type is set to PORT_NONSWITCHED, this parameter must be 0 (zero). If port_type is set to PORT_SWITCHED, then the port must be defined to accept either incoming calls (by setting inb_link_act_lim

=1 and out_link_act_lim = 0) or outgoing calls (by setting inb_link_act_lim = 0 and out_link_act_lim = 1).

out_link_act_lim
Outbound link activation	limit (the number of	links reserved for outbound	activation).	The sum
of inb_link_act_lim and	out_link_act_lim must	not exceed tot_link_act_lim;	the difference	between

out_link_act_lim and tot_link_act_lim defines the maximum number of links that can be activated inbound at any time.

If port_type is set to PORT_NONSWITCHED, this parameter must be equal to tot_link_act_lim. If port_type is set to PORT_SWITCHED, then the port must be defined to accept either incoming calls (by setting inb_link_act_lim = 1 and out_link_act_lim = 0) or outgoing calls (by setting inb_link_act_lim = 0 and out_link_act_lim = 1).

ls_role

Link station role. Possible values are:

LS_PRI
