Administration Commands

query_ls

For an SDLC link station, this parameter identifies the address of the secondary station on this LS.

The value of this parameter depends on how the port that owns this LS is configured, as follows:

•If the port is used only for incoming calls (out_link_act_lim on define_sdlc_port is 0), this parameter is reserved.

•If the port is switched primary and is used for outgoing calls (port_type is PORT_SWITCHED, ls_role is LS_PRI, and out_link_act_lim on define_sdlc_port is a nonzero value), this parameter is set to either 0xFF to accept whatever address is configured at the secondary station, or set it to a 1-byte value in the range 0x01–0xFE(this value must match the value configured at the secondary station).

•For all other port configurations, this parameter is set to a 1-byte value in the range 0x01–0xFEto identify the link station. If the port is primary multi-drop (ls_role on define_sdlc_port is LS_PRI and tot_link_act_lim is greater than 1), this address must be different for each LS on the port.

address

For a QLLC link station, this parameter identifies the destination address of the remote link station. This parameter is used only for SVC outgoing calls (defined by the vc_type parameter on this command and by the link activation limit parameters on define_qllc_port); it is ignored for incoming calls or for PVC.

The address is a string of 1–14 characters. The address is in X.25 (1980) format; later address formats are not supported.

mac_address

Token Ring / Ethernet / FDDI: MAC address of the link station on the adjacent node.

If this parameter is not specified, the LS is a non-selective listening LS (one that can be used only for incoming calls, but can have LUs defined on it to support dependent LU traffic). The LS can be used to receive incoming calls from any remote link station, but cannot be used for outgoing calls.

If the local and adjacent nodes are on LANs of different types (one Ethernet, the other Token Ring or FDDI) connected by a bridge, you will probably need to reverse the bit order of the bytes in the MAC address. For more information about bit ordering in MAC addresses, see Section 2.60, define_tr_ls, define_ethernet_ls, define_fddi_ls. If the two nodes are on the same LAN or on LANs of the same type connected by a bridge, no change is required.

lsap_address

Token Ring / Ethernet / FDDI : Local SAP address of the link station on the adjacent node.

determined_ip_address

Enterprise Extender (HPR/IP): IP address of the link station on the adjacent node. This is a dotted-decimal IP address (such as 193.1.11.100). If the LS is inactive, the address appears as 0.0.0.0.

For details of the remaining parameters, see Section 2.60, define_tr_ls, define_ethernet_ls, define_fddi_ls, Section 2.51, define_sdlc_ls, Section 2.45, define_qllc_ls, Section 2.32, define_ip_ls.

2.140.4 Error Return Codes

If the command cannot be executed, SNAplus2 returns a primary return code to indicate the type of error and a secondary return code to provide specific details about the reason for unsuccessful execution.

Parameter Check

If the command does not execute because of a parameter error, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:
