When using broadcast address to negotiate the role, the link uses a
default SDLC configuration.
When
primary
is the link role, the link performs an initial poll to a
specific address.
2. For APPN point-to-point or negotiable, the broadcast address is used for
the initial poll. For primary multipoint, the specific address is used.
3. For switched SDLC, the device must be primary, so link role type is not
configurable for SDLC dial circuit interfaces.
link rts-hold
Dynamically changes the time to hold Request to Send (RTS) high after
transmitting a frame without affecting the SRAM configuration. This setting
is for half-duplex mode. This setting has no effect in full-duplex mode.
Example:
set link rts-hold
Enter RTS hold duration after transmit complete [0.0]?
link snrm
timeout
or
retry
For primary stations, dynamically changes the following SNRM(E)
information without affecting the SRAM configuration.
timeoutThe time to wait for an Unnumbered Acknowledgment (UA)
response before retransmitting an SNRM(E).
retry The number of times to retransmit an SNRM(E) without receiving a
response before giving up.
Example:
set link snrm timeout
Enter SNRM response timeout [2.0]?
link type multipoint or point-to-point
Dynamically changes the SDLC link to either a multipoint link or a
point-to-point link without affecting the SRAM configuration.
Note: For switched SDLC, the link is always point-to-point, so link type is
not configurable for SDLC dial circuit interfaces.
link xid/test
timeout
or
retry
For primary stations, dynamically changes the following XID/test information
without affecting the SRAM configuration.
timeoutThe maximum amount of time to wait for an XID or TEST frame
response before retransmitting the test frame.
retry The maximum number of times an XID or TEST frame is resent
before giving up. A0 (zero) causes the router to retry indefinitely.
Note: Examples for, and explanations of, the following parameters can be
found in the SDLC configuration chapter at “Set” on page544.
station
address
or
name
address
Changes the station’s SDLC address.
station
address
or
name
max-packet
Maximum size of packet that this station can receive.
