NOF API Verbs
DEFINE_PORT
(The first parameter in the address structure normally contains the MAC address, but this value is used only
on the LS and is reserved on the port.)
def_data.implicit_cp_cp_sess_support
Specifies whether CP-CP sessions are permitted for implicit link stations using this port. Possible values are:
AP_YES
CP-CP sessions are permitted for implicit LSs.
AP_NO
CP-CP sessions are not permitted for implicit LSs.
def_data.implicit_limited_resource
Specifies whether implicit link stations off this port should be defined as limited resources. Possible values
are:
AP_NO
Implicit links are not limited resources, and will not be deactivated automatically.
AP_NO_SESSIONS
Implicit links are limited resources, and will be deactivated automatically when no active sessions are
using them.
AP_INACTIVITY
Implicit links are limited resources, and will be deactivated automatically when no active sessions are
using them or when no data has flowed for the time period specified by the implicit_deact_timer field.
• If no SSCP-PU session is active across the link, the node deactivates the link immediately.
• If an SSCP-PU session is active but no traffic has flowed for the specified time period, the node
sends REQDISCONT(normal) to the host. The host is then responsible for deactivating all LUs and
the PU, at which time the local node will deactivate the link. However, the host may not deactivate
LUs with active PLU-SLU sessions; in this case, the link remains active until all these sessions are
deactivated (for example by the user logging out). This behavior can be changed by using options
in the ptf field of the START_NODE verb.
def_data.implicit_hpr_support
Specifies whether High Performance Routing (HPR) is supported on implicit links. Possible values are:
AP_YES
HPR is supported on implicit links.
AP_NO
HPR is not supported on implicit links.
For Enterprise Extender (HPR/IP), this parameter must be set to AP_YES.
def_data.implicit_link_lvl_error
For SDLC, Enterprise Extender (HPR/IP), this parameter is reserved.
Specifies whether HPR traffic should be sent on implicit links using link-level error recovery (AP_YES or
AP_NO). The parameter is reserved if implicit_hpr_support is set to AP_NO.
def_data.default_tg_chars
Default TG characteristics. These are used for implicit link stations using this port, and as the default
TG characteristics for defined link stations that do not have TG characteristics explicitly defined. The TG
characteristics parameters are ignored if the LS is to a downstream PU.
