INFO PORT Command
INFO PORT Display for Ethernet Ports
The display for the INFO PORT command for Ethernet ports has this format:
TYPE
is the port type.
ADDRESS
is 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 LLC1-type ports, this
attribute is the DSAP found in inbound frames and the SSAP found in outbound
frames.
GROUPMACADDRESS
is a locally administered MAC address. The adapter listens for frames that contain
this group address at the MAC level instead of frames that contain the
individual-station MAC address. Several adapters can have the same group MAC
address. All of them will receive any frames sent to that address. This group
address overrides the adapter’s default individual-station MAC address only for this
particular port. The macaddress value must be specified as 12 hexadecimal digits
with bit 0 of byte 0 set to 1. The keyword DEFAULT is used to alter a port’s
GROUPMACADDRESS back to the adapter’s default MAC address.
DELIVERYMODE
indicates how READ requests are queued. SERIAL means all READs are queued
together and serviced first-in, first-out. PARALLEL means READ requests are
queued by the opener of the port. Inbound messages are delivered to each opener
of the port that has a READ posted.
REQUESTSIZE
is the maximum size, in bytes, of a message that the port can write and read. This
attribute’s value cannot be greater than the line’s MAXREQUESTSIZE. The
minimum value that must be specified for this attribute is 32 bytes for Ethernet-type
ports. The range of values is 1 through 32000. The default is 32000.
