Configuring and Managing LAT Services
Managing Your Access Server As a LAT Node
Offering a Service
Introduction
By default, once there is a service, the access server functions as a service node by
issuing multicast service announcements, which describe its available services to
access servers on the network. These announcements contain information about
the service node (such as its name and identification string) and about the
available services. A single multicast service announcement is entered at the
interval indicated by the multicast timer
Displaying Information About a Service
You can display information about services on the LAT network, including
services on your access server, using the SHOW/MONITOR/LIST SERVICES
command.
To display information on the services offered by your access server, use the
SHOW/ LIST SERVICES LOCAL command. To display information about a
particular service, use the SHOW/LIST SERVICE command followed by the
service name. To display information about all services, use the SHOW/LIST
SERVICE ALL command.
There are three types of information you can display about the service:
• Characteristics
The characteristics display is useful when you are changing operational and
permanent values with the SET/DEFINE/CHANGE SERVICE command.
• Status
You can obtain data on the operation of services by using the status display.
• Summary
The summary display gives you capsule data on the services offered on the
network or the local access server.
