TIMERINACTIVITY n
The Expand multi-CPU feature significantly increases the maximum throughput of an
Expand path, especially for Expand-over-IP connections.
When the SUPERPATH_ON modifier is specified and there is an existing multi-CPU
path, the new path joins the multi-CPU path. If there is no existing multi-CPU path, then
a multi-CPU path is created that has the new path as its sole member. There can be no
more than 16 multi-CPU paths in a system and each multi-CPU path can consist of no
more than 16 paths. Expand line-handler processes at both ends of the path must be
configured with SUPERPATH_ON or the multi-CPU feature is not enabled.
Expand line-handler processes that use the SUPERPATH_ON modifier also should
use congestion control. The extended packet format is required for Expand line-
handler processes that are part of a multi-CPU path. For more information about
congestion control, refer to L4CONGCTRL_OFF/L4CONGCTRL_ON on page 17-14.
For more information about the extended packet format, refer to
L4EXTPACKETS_OFF/L4EXTPACKETS_ON on page 17-14.
The Expand multi-CPU feature is described in detail in Multi-CPU Feature on
page 18-74.
TIMERINACTIVITY n
Default: 900 for Expand-over-X.25 and Expand-over-SNA lines
0 (no timer) for Expand-over-IP
Units: seconds
Range: 0 through 32767 for Expand-over-NAM lines
This modifier specifies the time interval that the Expand-over-NAM line-handler
process will wait during a period of inactivity before requesting disconnection from the
network service provided by the network access method (NAM) process, or the time
interval the Expand-over-IP line-handler process will wait during a period of user data
inactivity before suppressing non-essential maintenance traffic (netmaps) so that an
external process can disconnect from the network. In both cases, the line remains
ready and the next user data traffic brings the line out of the inactive state.
This attribute is applicable only for Expand-over-IP, Expand-over-X.25, and Expand-
over-SNA line-handler processes. The valid range for this attribute is 0 to 32767
seconds. The default value for Expand-over-X.25 and Expand-over-SNAX lines is
15:00 minutes (900 seconds), the default value for Expand-over-IP lines is 0 (no timer).
TIMERPROBE n
Default: 1 for Expand-over-IP and Expand-over-ATM
300 for Expand-over-X.25 and Expand-over-SNA
30 for Expand-over-FOX and Expand-over-ServerNet
Units: seconds
Range: 1 through 32767 seconds for Expand-over-IP and Expand-over-ATM,
Expand-over-X.25 and Expand-over-SNA
30 through 32767 for Expand-over-FOX and Expand-over-ServerNet
