Keywords
service-name
Specifies the named service on an access server to which you want to connect
(default: your preferred service if defined). If the service is offered by multiple
service nodes, the access server connects to the node with the highest service
rating.
NODE node-name
Specifies a particular service node to which you want to connect. (The default is
the highest-rated node offering the service.)
DESTINATION port-name
Specifies a particular access server port to which you want to connect. (The
default connects you to the first available port offering the service.) Users who
specify DESTINATION without specifying NODE are connected to the specified
port on the local access server node, provided it offers the service.
PORT
Specifying PORT will connect you to the port’s preferred service.
LAT or SERVICE (Optional keywords)
Specifies that only LAT will be used to attempt connection. If missing from the
command line, the access server will use the port default protocol. LAT protocol is
the factory-set default protocol.
