ALTER PORT Command
Example
This example sets the maximum number of ports to 50:
->ALTER MSAP $PAMA.#SNATR, MAXPORTS 50
ALTER PORT Command
The ALTER PORT command alters the attributes of a PORT object.
Command Syntax
OUT file-spec
directs any SCF output generated for this command to the specified file.
PORT port-name
is the name of the port.
ADDRESS address
defines the address for all traffic through the port. For Ethernet-type ports, this
attribute is the protocol-type field of the raw Ethernet header. For an LLC1 and
TR8025 type ports, this attribute is the destination link service access point
(DLSAP) found in inbound frames and the source link service access point
(SLSAP) found in outbound frames. For LLC ports, the valid value is from %H0 to
%HFF. For Ethernet ports, the value specified can be up to four hexadecimal digits
that start with %h, but not less than %H600 or 1536 decimal. This parameter is not
applicable for SNAP and IPX8023 ports and is ignored in these cases.
DATAFORWARDCOUNT count
is the maximum number of inbound messages from the LAN to be queued in PAM
before they are delivered to the application. The range of values is 1 through 22.
The default value is 1.
DATAFORWARDTIME timevalue | INFINITE
is the maximum amount of time an inbound message from the LAN should wait
before it is delivered to the application. The value must be specified in
HH:MM:SS.xxx format, where HH is hours, MM is minutes, SS is seconds, and xxx
