Sensitive and Nonsensitive Commands

Some SCF commands are sensitive because they can have detrimental effects if

improperly used, so special qualification is required to use them. Sensitive commands

can change the state or configuration of subsystem objects, start or stop tracing, or

change the values of statistics counters. The use of sensitive commands is limited to

the following user IDs:

•

Members of the super group (group ID 255)

•

Members of the user group that owns the process to which the command is sent

Other SCF commands are nonsensitive. They request information or status but do not

affect operation and are available to all users. Table 4-2 lists the sensitive and

nonsensitive commands for the ATM subsystem.

SCF Object Hierarchy

The SCF objects for the ATM subsystem correspond to process and hardware

components within the subsystem. These objects are described in Section 1,

Configuration Quick Start. Some objects are subordinate to others. The hierarchy of

the objects in the ATM subsystem appears in Figure 4-3 on page 4-18.
