Step 2: Create a Profile for Each Line Type
modifier_keyword
is the name of a modifier in profile_name. Modifier names in the PEXPPATH
profile are listed in PEXPPATH Modifiers on page 14-15.
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 14-15.
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, refer to 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 as follows:
$ZZWAN.profile_name
specifies, via the WAN subsystem, a user-defined name of up to eight
alphanumeric characters that will be used to identify the new profile. You will
reference this profile_name when you create the device for the line in Step 4:
Create the Line-Logical Devices.
FILE $SYSTEM.SYSnn.diskfile_name
specifies the name of an existing disk file that will be used to create the new
profile. Table 14-1 lists the disk filenames that are provided for line-logical devices.
These disk files are installed in $SYSTEM.SYSnn.
ADD PROFILE $ZZWAN.#profile_name
, FILE $SYSTEM.SYSnn.diskfile_name
[, modifier_keyword [ modifier_value ] ] ...
