Configuring OSI Protocol Attributes
Considerations
•
When the OSI manager process starts a TSP process, it uses default values set in
OSI/TS (for example, the buffer pool size and the swap disk). If you want to change
these values, see the PARAM command parameters in the OSI/TS Configuration and
Management Manual.
•
Notice that there is no corresponding SCF command to start the NSP processes.
NSP PROCESS objects do not accept the SCF START PROCESS command. You
may need to start NSP LINE objects, however. NSP LINE objects are managed
independently of the OSI manager process.
Configuring OSI Protocol Attributes
Configuring the OSI protocol attributes breaks down into the following subtasks:
•
Configuring Layer 3 attributes
•
Configuring Layer 4 attributes
•
Configuring Layer 5 attributes
•
Configuring Layer 6 attributes
•
Configuring Layer 7 ACSE attributes
Use SCF commands to set attributes for the different OSI protocol layers within your
subsystem. Table 4-1
shows the object types that you use to set values in each service
layer, and the processes affected.
Configuring Layer 3 Attributes
Configure Layer 3 service characteristics for NSP processes by using either the Layer 3
SERVICE object or the Layer 3 PROFILE object. These attributes are a subset of the
attributes for X25AM or TLAM (for D-series systems) or PAM (for G06 and above
releases) subdevices. (To configure these objects, you should understand the meaning of
Network Layer protocol values.)
•
Use the Layer 3 SERVICE object to set default X25AM or TLAM or PAM
subdevice attributes.
