NSAP Commands
Network Service Access Point (NSAP) addresses are used to identify real
systems unambiguously on a network. Dynamic NSAPs are used for high
availability clusters running the MC/ServiceGuard product, which
automatically shares NSAPs when a node or its network
communications fail. Use the following commands to add, delete, and
show dynamic NSAPs for local CONS/CLNS subnetworks. See the
manpages for these commands for more information.
otsaddnsap
ADD: Adds a local NSAP to OTS configuration for a specified network
service.
otsaddnsap service nsapvalue [silent]
The silent option means the added NSAP is never broadcast in the
ESH packet.
otsdelnsap
DELETE: Deletes a local NSAP from OTS configuration. The
default/main NSAP configured via osiadmin cannot be deleted with
otsdelnsap.
otsdelnsap (nsapvalue)
Argument Description
-w Write this action (add or delete) to the ots_routes configuration file
making the change permanent. The default is no write.
-mMask Network ID mask. Mask is a bit mask, specified in hex digits. It specifies
how may bits in the network ID are significant when resolving addresses.
For instance, with Mask of FFF8, the first 15 bits will be used when
matching the route entry to the destination NSAP. If no -m option is
specified, a mask of N F’s will be used, where N is the number of hex digits
in the NSAP/network ID.
