ADD Command
Tokens in Command Buffer
Most of the tokens present in the command buffer for the ADD PORT command are 
described in Section 4, Common Definitions
. However, ZPAM-MAP-ADD-PORT is an 
extensible structured token that contains attribute information for the specified port. The 
ZPAM-MAP-ADD-PORT token has the token number ZPAM-TNM-ADD-PORT and 
the DDL definition ZPAM-DDL-ADD-PORT, and it must be present in every ADD 
PORT command. ZPAM-MAP-ADD-PORT contains the following fields:
ZADDR 
is the address for all traffic through the port. For Ethernet-type ports, this is the 
PROTOCOL_TYPE field of the raw Ethernet header. For LLC1 ports, this is the 
DSAP found in inbound frames and the SSAP found in outbound frames. The value 
specified can have up to four hexadecimal digits.
ZMAC-ADDR 
is an optional 6-byte group MAC address, which makes this port a group port. The 
adapter listens for frames that contain this group address at the MAC level instead of 
frames that contain the individual station MAC address. Note that several adapters 
can have the same group MAC address and all of them will receive any frames sent 
to that address. Note that this group address overrides the adapter’s’ default 
individual station MAC address only as far as this particular port is concerned. The 
group MAC address specified can have up to 12 hexadecimal digits. The default for 
MAC_Address is that defined for the adapter’s MAC address. This attribute is not 
supported for token-ring LLC1 ports.
DELIV-MODE 
determines how read requests are queued. If ZPAM-VAL-DELIV-MODE-SRL 
(serial mode, which is the default mode) is selected, all read requests are placed in a 
single queue and are serviced in FIFO (first in first out) order. If ZPAM-VAL-
DELIV-MODE-PLLEL (parallel mode) is selected, all read requests are placed in 
separate queues, one for each opener of the port. Inbound messages are delivered to
