Step 2: Create a Profile for Each Line Type
reference this profile_name when you create the device for the path in Step 3:
Create a Path-Logical Device.
FILE $SYSTEM.SYSnn.PEXPPATH
specifies the name of an existing disk file that will be used to create the new
profile. PEXPPATH is the disk filename of the profile provided for path-logical
devices.
modifier_keyword
is the name of a modifier in profile_name. Modifier names in the PEXPPATH
profile are listed in PEXPPATH Modifiers on page 13-16.
modifier_value
is the value you want to assign to the modifier specified by modifier_keyword.
Specifying a modifier_value assigns a new value to modifier_keyword in
profile_name. Default values and ranges of values for modifiers in the
PEXPPATH profile are described in PEXPPATH Modifiers on page 13-16.
Step 2: Create a Profile for Each Line Type
You must create a profile for each type of line that will be in the multi-line path. For
example, if the multi-line path will consist of one direct-connect line and one Expand-
over-SNA line, you must create two profiles, one for each line type. If the multi-line
path will consist of two direct-connect lines, you need only create one profile because
both lines can share the same profile.
You can create a profile for a line-logical device using one of the line-logical device
profiles. These profiles are installed in the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume. You can also
create a profile from an existing profile, or you can create your own profile. For
complete information about profiles, see the WAN Subsystem Configuration and
Management Manual.
This subsection shows you how to create a profile using one of the line-logical device
profiles.
ADD PROFILE Command
To create a profile from one of the line-logical device profile templates, use the WAN
subsystem SCF ADD PROFILE command. The command syntax is:
$ZZWAN.profile_name
ADD PROFILE $ZZWAN.#profile_name
, FILE $SYSTEM.SYSnn.diskfile_name
[, modifier_keyword [ modifier_value ] ] ...
