NETMAP Option
#LINESETS=n
indicates that there are n communications paths (LINESETS) directly connected to
the selected system. The LINESETS are listed in detail after the NETMAP table.
The systems in the network are listed by the system number followed by the
system name.
SYSTEM
indicates the number and the name of the system, or node.
TIME (DISTANCE) BY PATH
these entries show the time factor (TIME) and number of hops (DISTANCE) for
each path between systems in the network and the selected system. A value of
inf (--) (for infinite) indicates that there is no connection to the selected system.
Each row and column entry represents a path connecting the selected system to
the system listed in the leftmost column. (Refer to Routing and Time Factors on
page 18-22 for more information on the TF.) An asterisk (*) indicates the Expand
line-handler process selected for traffic to each known node in the network; this is
also the line-handler process used for the $NCP connection protocol with each
node.
For multi-CPU paths, the asterisk has a different meaning for non-neighbor nodes
than for neighbor nodes. For non-neighbor nodes, the asterisk indicates the
Expand line-handler process selected for the pair between the local node and each
remote node; all traffic to the remote node uses the indicated line-handler process.
For neighbor nodes, traffic can also be directed to any of the other Expand line-
handler processes in the multi-CPU path; an asterisk in this case indicates the line-
handler process used for the $NCP connection protocol and an ampersand (&) is
shown beside the other members of the multi-CPU path.
INDEX
indicates the associated LINESET number for the entry in the particular row. The
index number is used to identify the LINESET associated with any NETMAP entry.
LINESET n
these entries describe each communications path (LINESET) directly connected to
the selected system. If the path is a multi-line path, the logical device (LDEV)
number associated with each line logical device is also displayed. An “S” next to a
LINESET indicates that it is a member of a multi-CPU path.
NEIGHBOR
indicates the neighbor node that data is transmitted to over the path.
LDEV
indicates the logical device (LDEV) number associated with each line logical
device.
