Table23. Configuration Parameter List - Link Station - Detail (continued)
Parameter Information
Parameter
Link type (X.25 andATM only)
If
limited resource
= yes is configured for this link station, then the link type parameter
defaults to a value of 1 (SVC) and is not configurable.
ValidValues
If PVC, then specify a logical channel number in the range of 1 - 4095
If SVC, then specify a DTE address that is variable length up to 15 digits
Default Value
0, unless it is a limited resource.
Description
This parameter specifies whether the X.25 link is a PVC or SVC.
Parameter
MAC address of adjacent node (required) (Ethernet, token-ring, DLSw,FR bridged
format only)
ValidValues
Token-ringand DLSw ports:
v12 hexadecimal digits in the range X'000000000001' to X'7FFFFFFFFFFF'
Ethernet/802.3 ports:
v12 hexadecimal digits in the form
X'xyxxxxxxxxxx'
where:
x
is any hexadecimal digit
y
is a hexadecimal digit in the set {0, 2, 4, 6, 8,A, C, E}
Default Value
None
Description
This parameter specifies the medium access control (MAC) layer address of the
adjacent node. Different formats are used for token-ring and Ethernet/802.3.
Token-ringand DLSw ports:
The MAC address is specified in noncanonical form. In the noncanonical address
format, the bit within each octet that is to be transmitted first is represented as the
most significant bit.
Ethernet/802.3 ports:
The MAC address is specified in canonical form. In the canonical address format,
the bit within each octet that is to be transmitted first is represented as the least
significant bit.
