Considerations
NEXTSYS sys_number
is a required modifier that specifies the number (from 0 through 254) of the system
connected to the other end of the path. If you do not specify NEXTSYS, this
modifier defaults to an invalid value (255) and an operator message occurs during
the initialization of the path-logical device. The path will not be operational until you
alter NEXTSYS to a valid value using either the WAN subsystem SCF ALTER
DEVICE command or the Expand subsystem SCF ALTER PATH command.
modifier_keyword
is the name of an optional modifier in profile_name. modifier_keyword is
added to the device record for this path-logical device.
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 optional modifier specified by
modifier_keyword. modifier_value assigns a value to modifier_keyword
in the device record for this path-logical device.
Default values and ranges of values for modifiers in PEXPPATH are described in
PEXPPATH Modifiers on page 13-16.
Considerations
•
Not all modifiers have associated values (for example, L4EXTPACKETS_ON).
•
The modifier_keyword and modifier_value parameters do not add the
specified modifier, or a modifier and its associated value, to the profile used by the
device. Use the ADD PROFILE command to add a modifier, or a modifier and its
associated value, to a profile.
Note. If the multi-line path will be part of a multi-CPU path, you must specify the
SUPERPATH_ON and L4EXTPACKETS_ON modifiers when you configure the path-logical
device. The L4CONGCTRL_ON modifier is recommended for multi-CPU paths.
