ROUTE Object

The ROUTE object, used only with the INFO command, provides information about

how internet protocol PDUs (IPPDUs) are routed. Routes are automatically added,

altered, and deleted by the end system to intermediate system (ES-IS) protocol and by

connections and disconnections controlled by subdevices (SUs) with explicitly provided

media access control (MAC) addresses.

The object-name for the ROUTE object is nsap-entry, and it has the following format:

$process-name.#NSAP.nsap-address

$process-name

is the name of the TSP process as follows:

Local TSP process names can be up to 6 characters (the $ sign followed by 5

characters). For example:

$TSP15

$TSP10

Remote TSP process names can be up to 5 characters (the $ sign followed by 4

characters). For example:

$TSP1

$TSP5

If two or more TSP processes share the same X25AM line, the first 4 characters

after the $ sign are used by the TSP process to build the SU name and must be

unique. For example, the following three local TSP processes share the same

X25AM line:

$TSP10

$TSP20

$TSP30

nsap-address

specifies the local or remote NSAP address. It is a hexadecimal string (0-9 and A-F)

up to 40 digits long. For LAN networks only, this string must contain an even

number of hexadecimal digits. Refer to the OSI/TS Configuration and Management

Manual for a detailed description of NSAP addressing.

Wild card Support

Wild cards are supported for the INFO ROUTE command. Specify wild cards in the

nsap-address field. Examples of the nsap-address field with wild cards are:

.abc*

.a?c*
