PATHTF n
PATHTF n
Default: 0 (unset)
Units: Not applicable
Range: 0 through 186
The PATHTF has a range of 0 to 186 to designate the time factor in selecting the best
path to other nodes. A smaller number indicates a more desirable path for routing. If
you set PATHTF, it overrides any other parameter (RSIZE, SPEED, SPEEDK, or
LINETF) in calculating the time factor for the path.
When PATHTF is set for a multi-line path, the line state and number of lines in the path
are ignored and the PATHTF setting is a constant value assigned to the time factor for
the path.
If PATHTF 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
handler will display a configuration error. Refer to Setting Time Factors on page 18-23
for more detailed information on establishing time factors.
PROGRAM n
Default: $SYSTEM.CSSnn.C1097P00 for direct-connect lines
$SYSTEM.CSSnn.C1098P00 for satellite-connect lines
Units: Not applicable
Range: Not applicable
This modifier is applicable to direct-connect and satellite-connect Expand line-handler
processes only. This modifier identifies the specific microcode file where the data link
control (DLC) task is located. The microcode file is downloaded to the ServerNet wide
area network (SWAN) concentrator communications line interface processor (CLIP)
when the line is started. For more information about DLC tasks, see the WAN
Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual.
PVCNAME n
Default: None
Units: Not applicable
Range: Not applicable
This modifier is applicable to Expand-over-ATM line-handler processes that used
permanent virtual circuit (PVC) connections. This modifier identifies the name of the
PVC used by the Expand-over-ATM line-handler process. Only the name portion of the
PVC name should be specified (for example, PVC01).
