If the local and adjacent nodes are on LANs of different
types (one Token Ring or FDDI, the other Ethernet)
connected by a bridge, you will probably need to
reverse the bit order of the bytes in the MAC address.
For more information, see “Bit Ordering in MAC
Addresses”. If the two nodes are on the same LAN, or
on LANs of the same type connected by a bridge, no
change is required.
def_data.dest_address.lsap_address
Local SAP address of adjacent node.
For all link types:
def_data.auto_act_supp
Specifies whether the link can be activated
automatically when required by a session. Possible
values are:
AP_YES
The link can be activated automatically.
AP_NO
The link cannot be activated automatically.
If this parameter is set to AP_YES:
• The reactivation timer fields are ignored. If the LS
fails, SNAplus2 does not attempt to reactivate it
until a dependent LU application that was using
the session attempts to restart the session; an LS
used by independent LUs will not be reactivated by
SNAplus2, and must be restarted manually.
• If the link is to an APPN node, the LS must have a
preassigned TG number defined (see the following
parameter), and cp_cp_sess_support must be set
to AP_NO.
• If either the local node or the adjacent node is an
end node, the LS must also be defined as
auto-activatable at the adjacent node.
def_data.tg_number
Preassigned TG number. This parameter is used only if
