NOF API Verbs
QUERY_PORT
AP_YES
ABM link stations are supported.
AP_NO
ABM link stations are not supported.
AP_UNKNOWN
Support for ABM link stations cannot be determined because the DLC associated with this port has not
yet been started.
port_detail.det_data.start_time
The elapsed time, in hundredths of a second, between the time the node was started and the last time this
port was started. If this port has not yet been started, this parameter is set to zero.
port_detail.def_data.description
A null-terminated text string describing the port, as specified in the definition of the port.
port_detail.def_data.dlc_name
Name of the DLC associated with this port. This is an 8-byte ASCII string, padded on the right with spaces
if the name is shorter than 8 bytes.
port_detail.def_data.port_type
The type of line used by the port.
For SDLC, the following values may be returned:
AP_PORT_SWITCHED
Switched line.
AP_PORT_NONSWITCHED
Nonswitched line.
For QLLC, this is set to
AP_PORT_SWITCHED.
For Token Ring / Ethernet / FDDI , this is set to
AP_PORT_SATF (shared access transport facility).
For Enterprise Extender (HPR/IP), this is set to
AP_PORT_SATF
(shared access transport facility).
port_detail.def_data.port_attributes
This is a bit field. It can take the value
AP_NO, or the following:
AP_RESOLVE_BY_LINK_ADDRESS
This value specifies that an attempt is made to resolve incoming calls by using the link address on
CONNECT_IN before using the CP name (or node ID) carried on the received XID3 to resolve them.
This is ignored if the
port_type parameter is not set to
AP_PORT_SWITCHED.
def_data.implicit_uplink_to_en
This parameter applies only if the local node is a Branch Network Node; it is reserved if the local node is
any other type.
If the adjacent node is an end node, this parameter specifies whether implicit link stations off this port are
uplink or downlink. This parameter is ignored if there are existing links to the same adjacent node, because
in this case the existing links are used to determine the link type. Possible values are:
AP_YES
Implicit links to an End Node are uplinks.
AP_NO
Implicit links to an End Node are downlinks.
