SUBNET Object Type
The SUBNET object is also subordinate to the TCPMON object. A subnet is accessible
to all TCPMONs in the system. You can view a subnet from a system-wide view or
from a TCPMON/processor view.
The fully-qualified subnet name includes the process name, a period, the TCPMON
name, a period, and the subnet name. A STATUS on the $ZZTCP.#TCPMON-
name.subnet-name shows you the subnet status in one processor (the one where
the specified TCPMON is running). A STATUS on the $ZZTCP.*.subnet-name shows
you the subnet status in all processors.
To omit the process name, use the ASSUME command to set the default process. In
subsequent commands, just specify the TCPMON and subnet names as in the
following example:
SCF> ASSUME PROCESS $ZZTCP
SCF> INFO SUBNET *.SN1
To omit the TCPMON name, use the ASSUME command to set the default TCPMON
name. If you have also assumed the process name, you can specify only the subnet
name in subsequent commands. The following examples show the ASSUME
command for both the process and TCPMON, and for the process only.
SCF> ASSUME PROCESS $ZZTCP
SCF> ASSUME MON $ZZTCP.#ZPTM0
SCF> INFO SUBNET SN1
SCF> ASSUME PROCESS $ZZTCP
SCF> INFO SUBNET *.SN1
HP recommends that you use the letters SN followed by a subnet number to identify a
subnet; for example, SN1.
The SUBNET object is the point of connection between PTCPIP and the SLSA LIF.
Data coming from or going to an Ethernet LAN goes through a subnet. A subnet type
of Ethernet specifies both Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Ethernet type devices.
The name LOOP0 is reserved for the loopback subnet.
