Administration Commands
define_ip_ls
The adjacent node is a Network Node, or a Branch Network Node acting as a Network Node from the
local node’s perspective.
lsap_address
Link Service Access Point address used by the local link station. This must match the address used by the
remote station.
auto_act_supp
Specifies whether the link can be automatically activated when required by a session. Possible values are:
YES
The link can be automatically activated.
The reactivation timer parameters 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 is not reactivated by SNAplus2 and must be manually restarted.
The following restrictions also apply:
• If the link is to an APPN node, the LS must have a preassigned TG number defined (see the
tg_number parameter), and cp_cp_sess_support must be set to NO.
• If either the local node or the adjacent node is an end node, the LS must also be defined to
automatically activate at the adjacent node.
NO
The link cannot be automatically activated.
tg_number
Preassigned TG number. This parameter is used only if the adjacent node is an APPN node (adj_cp_type is
either NETWORK_NODE or END_NODE); it is ignored otherwise.
This TG number is used to represent the link when the link is activated. The node does not accept any other
number from the adjacent node during activation of this link; if the adjacent node is using preassigned TG
numbers, the same TG number must be defined by the adjacent node on the adjacent link station.
If the local node is a LEN node, or if the adjacent node is a LEN node and the link is to be automatically
activated, set the TG number to 1. Otherwise, specify a number in the range 1–20,or0 (zero) to indicate
that the TG number is not preassigned and is negotiated when the link is activated.
If a preassigned TG number is defined, the adj_cp_name parameter must also be defined, and the adj_cp_type
parameter must be set to either END_NODE or NETWORK_NODE.
limited_resource
Specifies whether this link station is a limited resource and is automatically deactivated when there are no
sessions using the link. Link stations on a nonswitched port cannot be configured as limited resource. Possible
values are:
NO
The link is not a limited resource and is not automatically deactivated.
NO_SESSIONS
The link is a limited resource and is automatically deactivated when no active sessions are using it.
INACTIVITY
The link is a limited resource and is automatically deactivated when no active sessions are using it, or
when no data has flowed on the link for the time period specified by the link_deact_timer parameter.
• If no SSCP-PU session is active across the link, the node deactivates the link immediately.
