Adding ENTRY Objects
Adding ENTRY Objects
You can add ENTRY objects at any time to an OSI/AS subsystem. The following
paragraphs discuss the effects of adding each type of ENTRY object and some of the
important dependencies.
Adding SNPA ENTRY Objects
You add SNPA ENTRY objects to register new SNPA addresses to an OSI/AS
subsystem or to add new configurations for X25AM or TLAM on D-series releases (or
PAM on G06 and above releases) subdevices.
•
The following command registers an SNPA address and assigns a TLAM (or PAM)
process as the server:
ADD ENTRY $OSIM.#SNPA.FE08000E000023 &
, L3SERVER $OSIM.#NSP.LAN1
In the case of LAN subnetworks, when you are using a D-series system, you derive
the SNPA address from the LAN MAC station address. To find the MAC station
address, issue an SCF INFO SERVICE command for the TLAM Layer 1 object,
using subtype #L18023 or #L18024. For example, the SCF command
INFO SERVICE $LAM1.#L18023
returns the MAC station address in the InitTS field. See the Multilan/TLAM
Management and Operations Manual for more information.
When you are using a G06 and above system, you derive the SNPA address from the
LAN MAC station address. To find the MAC station address, issue an SCF INFO
LINE command for the PAM process. For example, the SCF command
INFO LINE $LAM1.*
returns the MAC station address in the LIF MAC Addr field. See the PAM
Configuration and Management Manual for more information.
Note that this example does not assign a Layer 3 PROFILE object. Therefore, the
values are taken from the Layer 3 SERVICE definition.
•
If you use an X.25 subnetwork, you can add SNPA ENTRY objects to provide
additional protocol configurations for X25AM subdevices. The following examples
assign two different SNPA addresses and Layer 3 PROFILE objects to the same
X25AM process:
ADD ENTRY $OSIM.#SNPA.0001, L3SERVER $OSIM.#NSP.X25A &
, L3PROFILE $OSIM.#L3.NPFILE1
ADD ENTRY $OSIM.#SNPA.0002, L3SERVER $OSIM.#NSP.X25A &
, L3PROFILE $OSIM.#L3.NPFILE2
X25AM subdevices that use SNPA 0001 are configured with the values in the
profile NPFILE1, and X25AM subdevices that use SNPA 0002 are configured with
the values in the profile NPFILE2.
