LIFNAME n
l2timeout is the time interval, in one-hundredth of a second increments, that the
Expand line-handler process will wait for a response to a request at Layer 2 before
retrying. (You can modify this value using the L2TIMEOUT modifier as described
L2TIMEOUT n on page 17-13.)
q is the hop count (HC) of the longest end-to-end route in the network.
For Expand-over-X.25 connections, you should set the L4TIMEOUT modifier to a value
larger than the maximum anticipated response time on a loaded link.
LIFNAME n
Default: None
Units: Not applicable
Range: Not applicable
This modifier is applicable to Expand-over-ATM line-handler processes that use the
ATMSAP connection through the SLSA subsystem. This modifier identifies the name of
the logical interface by which LAN access is known to the system. Only the name
portion of the LIF name should be specified (for example, LIF01).
LINEPRIORITY n
Default: 1
Units: Integers
Range: 1 through 9
This modifier is applicable to all multi-line types. It can be set in the range 1 to 9. The
default is 1. The higher the number, the lower priority to use that line. If lines have
equal priority, the relative line speeds and transmission delays are used to select the
next line.
LINETF n
Default: 0 (unset)
Units: Not applicable
Range: 0 through 186
The LINETF modifier has a range of 0 to 186 to designate the line time factor in
selecting the best path to other nodes in the network. A smaller number indicates a
more desirable path for routing. If you set the LineTF, it overrides the RSIZE, SPEED,
or SPEEDK parameters in calculating the time factor for the line (PathTF overrides all
parameters, including LINETF).
If LINETF is left unset (a zero value), this parameter is not used in setting the time
factor. Either RSIZE, SPEED, SPEEDK, LINETF, or PATHTF must be set, else the line
Note. The L4TIMEOUT modifier should be set to the same value for every Expand line-
handler process on every node in the network.
