case, omit the TPNAME option from the command. However, if the provider name is more
than five characters long, it cannot be a CIPSAM process name; in that case, you must use the
TPNAME option to specify the CIPSAM process name. The provider name must be unique
within this system.
TYPE {IPDATA | MAINTENANCE}
Specifies the type of provider. IPDATA provider provides TCP/IP access by means of the data
Ethernet ports of one or more CLIMs associated with that IPDATA provider. MAINTENANCE
provider provides TCP/IP access by means of the maintenance Ethernet interface of a specific
CLIM using a specific IP address. The default TYPE is IPDATA.
SHARE-PORTS num-ports
Is the number of ports reserved for TCP, SCTP, and UDP shared-ephemeral ports that can be
on multiple CLIMs. Shared-ephemeral ports are those assigned by the CIP subsystem when an
application has not bound to a specific IP address and interface. This attribute is valid only for
a provider of TYPE IPDATA. The default is 1000. Possible values are in the range from 100 to
4000.
FAMILY {INET | DUAL}
Specifies the network mode of the provider. You can specify these modes:
• INET – the provider is operated in IPv4 only mode
• DUAL – the provider is operated in both IPv4 mode and IPv6 mode
The default FAMILY is INET.
CLIM clim-name
Is the name of the CLIM associated with the Maintenance provider. This attribute is valid only
for a provider of TYPE MAINTENANCE. The CLIM must already have been added and must
be of IP MODE (that is, it must support TCP/IP networking), but does not need to be started.
The same CLIM must not be associated with any other Maintenance provider.
IPADDRESS ip-addr
Specifies the IPv4 address associated with the Maintenance provider. This attribute is valid
only for a provider of TYPE of MAINTENANCE. The IP address must be associated with the
maintenance provider interface of the CLIM associated with the Maintenance provider (using
CLIM-based configuration) before the Maintenance provider can be accessible by socket
applications. Only class A, B, or C IP addresses are supported. IP address 127.*.*.* and D
and E type addresses are not supported.
TPNAME tp-name
Is the CIPSAM transport-service provider process name. This is the name applications use to
select the provider. It must be a valid process name with a leading dollar sign ($). The default
value is the name of the PROVIDER object itself with a dollar sign ($) prepended. The process
need not exist when you add the provider.
HOSTNAME hostname
Is the hostname returned by gethostname() when the transport-service provider is selected. The
hostname is a string of up to 49 characters. The default is the Expand system name without
the leading backslash (\).
HOSTID hostid
Is the host ID returned by gethostid() when the provider is selected. The host ID is in dotted
quad format similar to an IPv4 address (but it is not actually an IPv4 address). The default value
is 0.0.0.0.
BRECVPORT ( [ , port ] [ , port ] ... )
Specifies the UDPports that receive broadcast messages on sockets bound to specific IP addresses
or INADDR_ANY. Ports not in the list can receive broadcast messages only on sockets bound
