For more information, see Section 2.61, define_tr_port, define_ethernet_port, define_fddi_port.
2.29 define_focal_point
The define_focal_point command defines a focal point for a particular Management Services category. When
a new focal point is defined, SNAplus2 attempts to establish an implicit primary focal point relationship with the
defined focal point by sending an MS_CAPABILITIES request.
