HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 Administration Command Reference

Administration Commands
dene_ip_ls
The maximum number of times that the local station will retry sending a command frame. If this retry count
is exceeded without receiving a response, the link is considered to have failed.
A lower value for this parameter means that link failures will be detected quickly, but may cause unnecessary
reporting of link failures if a few packets are lost.
Specify a value in the range 0255. A typical value is 10 retries.
liveness_timeout
Duration for the liveness timer (sometimes called the TL timer): the time in milliseconds for which the link
will be held active if there is no evidence that the remote station is still active.
A lower value for this parameter means that link failures will be detected quickly, but may increase network
trafc on idle active links.
Specify a value in the range 165535 milliseconds. A typical value is 10000 (10 seconds).
short_hold_mode
Species whether the liveness protocol runs only if there has been no evidence that the remote system is still
active since data was last transmitted (
YES or NO).
Setting this parameter to YES allows links to stay active and idle without unnecessary data trafc, but means
that link failures are not detected until the local station attempts to send data. In general this parameter should
be set to NO.
remote_ip_host
Remote host name of the destination node for this link. This can be specied as a dotted-decimal IP address
(such as 193.1.11.100), as a name (such as newbox.this.co.uk), or as an alias (such as newbox).
If you specify a name or alias, the HP-UX system must be able to resolve this to a fully qualied name (either
using the local TCP/IP conguration or using a Domain Name server).
2.32.2 Returned Parameters
No parameters are returned by SNAplus2 when this command executes successfully.
2.32.3 Error Return Codes
If the command cannot be executed, SNAplus2 returns a primary return code to indicate the type of error and a
secondary return code to provide specic details about the reason for unsuccessful execution.
Parameter Check
If the command does not execute because of a parameter error, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:
primary_rc
PARAMETER_CHECK
secondary_rc
Possible values are:
CANT_MODIFY_PORT_NAME
The ls_name parameter matched the name of an existing LS, but the port_name parameter did not
match the existing denition. You cannot modify the port name when changing the denition of an
existing LS.
DEF_LINK_INVALID_SECURITY
The security parameter was not set to a valid value.
INVALID_AUTO_ACT_SUPP
109
