Private Token and Field Types
Private Token and Field Types
The PAM subsystem does not define any token or field types.
Predefined Token and Field Values
The PAM subsystem defines the following token and field values for use in more than
one command, event message, or error list.
ZPAM-VAL-BUFLEN
is the recommended buffer size in bytes for command messages sent to the PAM
subsystem and for responses in which each reply message contains a single response
record.
ZPAM-VAL-EVT-SEV-severity
indicates the effect an event has on the operation of the PAM subsystem, where
severity is INFO, WARN, or FATAL. See Section 6, Event Messages.
ZPAM-VAL-MAXBUFLEN
is the maximum buffer size, in bytes, for command messages sent to the PAM
subsystem and is the recommended buffer size for responses in which each reply
message contains multiple response records.
ZPAM-VAL-MAX-LIMIT-resource
defines a configuration limit for the PAM subsystem, where resource is ETHER-
PORT, LLC1-PORT, LLC2-PORT, MAC-ADDR, PORT, or SESSION. Receipt of
this value indicates that your application has attempted to exceed the configured
maximum for the named resource.
ZPAM-VAL-SSID
is the subsystem ID (SSID) for the PAM subsystem. Its structure definition is given
in SPI Standard Definitions on page 4-2. For more information about ZPAM-VAL-
SSID, refer to the discussion of the subsystem ID in the SPI Programming Manual.
ZPAM-VAL-VERSION
is the version number of this version of the PAM subsystem. This value is a 16-bit
unsigned integer; the left byte contains the letter part of the version as an ASCII
uppercase alphabetic character, and the right byte contains the numeric part of the
version as an unsigned integer value.
Simple Tokens
Simple tokens that appear in PAM commands and responses are described in Section 5,
Commands and Responses.
