Managing the Access Server
A higher node limit uses more of the access server memory. A lower node limit
uses less memory. However, a lower node limit can potentially increase the time
to make a connection to nodes that are not in the service database. You need to
decide the optimal number for your needs.
The following example shows how to decrease the node limit to 100:
Local> CHANGE SERVER NODE LIMIT 100
Reducing Memory Usage
Set the node limit characteristic to a lower value. The access server automatically
reduces the number of nodes in the database. This reduces the amount of memory
used by the node database.
Viewing LAT Node Status Information
The SHOW/MONITOR NODE STATUS command displays information about
the status of the selected nodes. This includes a list of the services offered by the
nodes and information on each service. This display can help you track the
availability and use of services.
Example: SHOW NODE STATUS Display
The following example shows how to generate a status display for the service
node called PEACH:
Local> SHOW NODE PEACH STATUS
Node: PEACH Address 08-00-2B-00-2B-02
