ENTRY Objects
ENTRY Objects
Use the ENTRY object to identify an entry in the Management Information Base (MIB).
ENTRY objects allows the user to register local and remote addresses, application entity
titles, and locally defined application names with the OSI manager process (that is, to
enter them into the MIB). In addition, the OSI manager uses the information in the
ENTRY objects to select protocol processes and to set connection attributes at different
protocol layers.
The
object-name for the ENTRY object is entry-name, and it has the following
format:
$osi-mgr-name
is the name of the OSI manager process. The OSI manager name is a valid Guardian
process name.
#entry-type.entry-name
is one of the following qualifiers:
#APPL.entry-name
#NSAP.entry-name
#SNPA.entry-name
#TSEL.entry-name
#APPL.entry-name
#APPL identifies an OSI application. #APPL ENTRY object names are
used by the OSI manager process to access the Local Directory
Information Base (LDIB) to construct the addresses necessary for
making the appropriate connections. (The LDIB is part of the MIB.)
An
APPL.entry-name defines a specific application entity. It is a
string of alphanumeric characters and the dash (-), circumflex (^), and
underscore (_) characters. The string is limited to 64 characters.
#NSAP.entry-name
#NSAP defines the network service access point. Use it to configure a
TSP server process for a local NSAP and the SNPA and Layer 4 profile
for both local and remote NSAPs. The #NSAP ENTRY objects make up
the routing table for the OSI end system.
An NSAP entry-name is a string of up to 40 hexadecimal digits. For
local area networks (LANs) only, this string must contain an even
number of hexadecimal digits.
See the OSI/TS Configuration and Management Manual for a detailed
description of NSAP addressing.
