HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 Administration Guide

Defining Connectivity Components
Defining DLCs, Ports, and Connection Networks
Note
The underlying stack is also configured with an address and accepts only calls that
specify an address starting with the configured address. Any address configured on
the port must start with the address configured on the stack; otherwise, calls accepted
by the stack are subsequently rejected by the port.
Additional Port Parameters for Enterprise Extender (HPR/IP)
Local IP interface
The identifier for the local network adapter card to be used for the IP link. If you are running the Motif
administration program on the same server as the port, you can select this identifier from the list rather than
typing it in.
Define on connection network
Whether the adapter card is to access the LAN as a connection network. Defining a connection network enables
links between nodes on the connection network to be started dynamically, without prior configuration.
This field applies only if the local node is not a LEN node, because LEN nodes cannot use connection
networks.
CN name
The name of the connection network. You do not need to enter the CN name unless you specified the
Define
on connection network option to define the port on a connection network. The CN name is used as the name
of a virtual routing node in order to establish links between the nodes on the connection network.
Specify the same CN name on all nodes on the connection network.
Additional Port Parameters for Implicit Links
Maximum active template instances
Specify the maximum number of link station instances to be generated from the template.
Configure downstream LUs for implicit PU access
Whether to configure downstream LUs that use this PU (see Section 9.2, Configuring PU Concentration).
HPR supported on implicit links
Whether to support High-Performance Routing on implicit link stations.
Link level error recovery on implicit links
Whether to send HPR traffic on implicit links using link-level error recovery.
5.1.2 Additional Configuration
After performing the port configuration, continue with the following configuration tasks:
• To define a link station on a port you have configured, see Section 5.2, Defining Link Stations.
• To define a DLUR PU, see Section 5.3, Defining DLUR PUs.
• To support APPC communication, see Chapter 7, Configuring APPC Communication.
