ADD Command
OUT file-spec
directs any SCF output generated for this command to the specified file.
file-spec must be a partially or fully qualified name. If you do not specify this
option, the output goes to the home terminal.
PROCESS $manager-name.$process-name
is the fully qualified process name indicating the desired NonStop™ IPX/SPX
process. When you first add the process, you must include the IPXMGR process
name.
CODEFILE filename
is the operating system name of the codefile that is run to create the new process.
The name can be either fully qualified (\sys.$volume.subvol.filename)
or a partial filename; partial filenames are expanded using the TACL search list. The
name can have up to 38 characters. If you do not specify this option,
$SYSTEM.ZIPXPRO.IPXPROTO is assumed.
IOPORTNAME LIF-name.filter-protocol
LIF-name displays the name of the logical interface (LIF). An Ethernet or
token-ring LIF name usually takes the form L0xx.
filter-protocol displays the filter protocol that supports the frame type.
You must specify a filter protocol that corresponds to the frame type of the
NetWare network. Table 3-1
on page 3-9 lists each frame type and
corresponding filter protocol along with the LAN type they support.
IPXMAXSOCKETS integer
is the number of IPX sockets allowed open simultaneously. The recommended value
is 32 + n, where n is the number of IPX sockets required by IPX applications. The
32 sockets are used by the NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) of NonStop™ IPX/SPX.
The range is 50 to 2000 sockets, and the default is 50. (Since 32 of the sockets are
used by NCP, only 18 sockets are available when using the default value of 50.)
QIOLIMIT integer
SPXKEEPALIVETIMER integer
is an integer between 1 and 60 that represents the number of minutes SPX waits
before pinging an SPX connection to verify the existence of a remote SPX endpoint.
(A ping tests the reachability of another machine on the network.) SPX issues an
initial ping to an SPX connection that has not received a packet for the configured
SPXKEEPALIVETIMER value. If the remote endpoint does not respond to the
initial ping, SPX sends an additional four pings at one-minute intervals. An
Note. QIOLIMIT, an attribute of QIO accounting, should be ignored. QIO accounting is not
supported for G-series releases of
NonStop™ IPX/SPX.
