Adding ENTRY Objects
Note that before SNPA ENTRY objects can be used by the subsystem, you need to
assign them to NSAP addresses. You make this assignment by adding or altering NSAP
ENTRY objects, as described in the following subsection.
Adding NSAP ENTRY Objects
You add NSAP ENTRY objects to add local NSAP addresses to an OSI/AS subsystem
or to register additional remote NSAP addresses with the OSI manager process.
•
The following two commands add two local NSAP addresses to the subsystem.
Each address is assigned to the same SNPA and to the same TSP server process.
However, each address is assigned a different Layer 4 PROFILE object. The effect
is that transport subdevices using the first address have a different configuration
than transport subdevices using the second address:
ADD ENTRY $OSIM.#NSAP.9A0001, SNPA 0002 &
, L4SERVER $OSIM.#TSP.X25A &
, L4PROFILE $OSIM.#L4.TPFILE1
ADD ENTRY $OSIM.#NSAP.9A0002, SNPA 0002 &
, L4SERVER $OSIM.#TSP.X25A &
, L4PROFILE $OSIM.#L4.TPFILE2
•
The following command registers a remote NSAP address with the OSI manager
process $OSIM. Since this example also assigns a Layer 4 PROFILE object, all
connections to this remote NSAP address are configured with the Transport Layer
configuration values specified in TPFILE2. Note that this example assigns a
PROFILE object to the remote NSAP address. Profiles assigned to remote NSAP
addresses override profiles assigned to local NSAP addresses (see Selection
Hierarchy of Object Attributes on page 2-35):
ADD ENTRY $OSIM.#NSAP.9B1112, SNPA 0003 &
, L4PROFILE $OSIM.#L4.TPFILE2 &
, NETADDR-MODE X25-1980
In most cases, you need to explicitly assign any new NSAP address to the applications
that use that address. You make these assignments by adding or altering APPL ENTRY
objects, as described later in this section. You do not need to do this, however, if the
applications include NSAP addresses in their APS procedure calls.
Network Layer addressing for X.25 networks is different in the 1980 and 1984
standards. Therefore, if you are using an X.25 network, you must specify to OSI/AS
which standard your network implements:
1980 standard You must configure your NSAP ENTRY objects using ADD or
ALTER commands that include the attribute NETADDR-MODE
X25-1980.
1984 standard (or
LAN)
You can optionally specify NETADDR-MODE NORMAL (the
default).
