HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 Administration Command Reference

Administration Commands
define_tr_ls, define_ethernet_ls, define_fddi_ls
Retry count for reactivating a failed LS. This parameter is used to specify whether SNAplus2 attempts to
reactivate the LS if it fails while in use (or if an attempt to start the LS fails).
Specify
0 (zero) to indicate that SNAplus2 should not attempt to reactivate the LS, or specify the number
of retries to be made. A value of 65,535 indicates that SNAplus2 should retry indefinitely until the LS is
activated.
SNAplus2 waits for the time specified by the
react_timer parameter between successive retries. If the LS is
not successfully reactivated by the end of the retry count, or if stop_ls is issued while SNAplus2 is retrying
the activation, no further retries are made; the LS remains inactive unless start_ls is issued for it.
If the auto_act_supp parameter is set to YES, the react_timer and react_timer_retry parameters are ignored; if
the link fails, SNAplus2 does not attempt to reactivate it until the user application that was using the session
attempts to restart the session.
restart_on_normal_deact
Specifies whether SNAplus2 should attempt to reactivate the LS if it is deactivated normally by the remote
system. Possible values are:
YES
If the remote system deactivates the LS normally, SNAplus2 attempts to reactivate it, using the same
retry timer and count values as for reactivating a failed LS (the react_timer and react_timer_retry
parameters above).
NO
If the remote system deactivates the LS normally, SNAplus2 does not attempt to reactivate it.
If the LS is a host link (specified by the adj_cp_type parameter), or is automatically started when the node is
started (the initially_active parameter is set to YES), this parameter is ignored; SNAplus2 always attempts to
reactivate the LS if it is deactivated normally by the remote system (unless react_timer_retry is zero).
test_timeout
Timeout required before a TEST frame is retransmitted when trying to contact a remote station. The timer is
specified in seconds. Higher values may be needed if the propagation delay to the remote station is large.
test_retry_limit
The TEST retry limit—the number of times transmission and retransmission of a TEST frame is allowed.
This count includes the initial transmission; a value of 1 indicates “transmit once but do not retry.” Higher
values may be needed if the link to the remote station is unreliable or can become congested.
xid_timeout
Timeout required before an XID is retransmitted when trying to contact a remote station. The timer is specified
in seconds. Higher values may be needed if the propagation delay to the remote station is large.
xid_retry_limit
The XID retry limit—the number of times transmission and retransmission of an XID is allowed. This count
does not include the initial transmission; a value of 1 indicates “transmit once and then retry once.” Higher
values may be needed if the link to the remote station is unreliable or can become congested.
t1_timeout
Timeout required before an I-frame is retransmitted if no response is received. The timer is specified in
seconds. Higher values may be needed if the propagation delay to the remote station is large.
Some systems may provide alternative methods of configuring the LLC2 stack, in which case this parameter
can be ignored; check with your SNAplus2 supplier.
t1_retry_limit
The T1 retry limit—the number of times transmission and retransmission of an I-frame is allowed. The
minimum value is 1. Higher values may be needed if the link to the remote station is unreliable or can
become congested.
