SUBNET Object Type
SUBNET Object Type
The SUBNET is the point of connection between the NonStop TCP/IPv6 and an I/O
device.
All subnets are associated with the TCP6MAN process. Each SUBNET name must be
unique within the system. The name can have at most seven alphanumeric characters.
The first character must be a letter.
The SUBNET object is also subordinate to the TCP6MON object. A SUBNET is
accessible to all TCP6MONs in the system. You can view a SUBNET from a
system-wide view or from a TCP6MON/processor view.
The fully-qualified SUBNET name includes the process name, a period, the TCP6MON
name, a period, and the SUBNET name. A STATUS on the
$ZZTCP.#TCP6MON-name.subnet-name shows you the SUBNET status in one
processor (the one where the specified TCP6MON 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 TCP6MON and SUBNET names as in this
example:
SCF> ASSUME PROCESS $ZZTCP
SCF> INFO SUBNET *.SN1
To omit the TCP6MON name, use the ASSUME command to set the default
TCP6MON name. If you have also assumed the process name, you can specify only
the SUBNET name in subsequent commands. These examples show the ASSUME
command for both the process and TCP6MON, 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 NonStop TCP/IPv6 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.
