ADD ENTRY #NSAP Command
NETADDR-MODE
identifies the addressing mode of the X.25 network service. For networks that
support 1984 addressing, NORMAL specifies that the configured NSAPs will be
applied within the calling and called address-extension facilities in the call request
packets. For networks that support 1980 addressing, X25-1980 specifies that the
NSAP address will be left out of the call request packets; instead, the
DTEADDRESS and the SOURCEADDR fields will be used.
SNPA
defines the local or remote subnetwork point of attachment (SNPA) that corresponds
to the given NSAP for the LAN or X.25 network to which the OSI end system is
attached. SNPA values are administered by an authority of the subnetwork.
For LANs, this address is made up of two components. The first two hexadecimal
digits are the link-level service access point selector (LSAP selector or LSEL) for
OSI/AS, this value must be “FE”. The remaining 12 digits are the media access
control (MAC) address. The MAC address specifies the local LAN station address.
For X.25 networks, this address is an internal index number.
This is a required attribute for 1) local SNPAs and 2) outgoing connections on
remote SNPAs.
Value: NORMAL | X25-1980
Default: NORMAL
Value: For LANs, a hexadecimal string (0-9 and A-F) up to 14 digits
long. The string must contain an even number of
hexadecimal digits.
For X.25 networks, a decimal string (0-9) up to 14 digits
long.
Default: No default value is provided.
Note that when using the Full-IP with ES-IS protocol, do not
provide a value. Not providing a value enables the ES-IS
protocol to obtain the SNPA dynamically.
