WAN Subsystem Objects
DEVICE Object
You configure one or more DEVICE objects depending on which data-communications
subsystem you are configuring. DEVICE objects might, or might not, access the SWAN
concentrator:
•
When defining DEVICE objects that access the SWAN concentrator, the attributes
in the ADD DEVICE command that configure the SWAN concentrator are required.
•
When defining DEVICE objects that do not access the SWAN concentrator, the
attributes in the ADD DEVICE command that configure the SWAN concentrator are
not used.
The SCF subsystem allows you to configure up to 3600 entities with any configuration
of SWAN and SWAN 2 concentrators.
For example, if all three CLIPs are configured for each SWAN concentrator, you can
configure a maximum of 1200 SWAN concentrators. But if only one CLIP is configured
for each SWAN concentrator, you can configure a maximum of 3600 entities. See
Table 2-6 on page 2-11 for the maximum configurations for the SWAN concentrator.
The number of SWAN 2 concentrators that can be configured depends on the number
of configuration entities specific to your configuration and whether you are using one or
two lines on a CLIP. If two lines are configured on each CLIP, you can configure a
maximum of 300 SWAN 2 concentrators. If only one line is configured on each CLIP,
you can configure a maximum of 600 SWAN 2 concentrators. For more information on
the maximum configurations for the SWAN 2 concentrator, see Table 2-14 on
page 2-24.
PROCESS Object
The PROCESS object represents the Concentrator Manager (ConMgr) process, the
SNMP trap multiplexer process, the TFTP server process, and the WANBoot process.
There can be one or more ConMgr processes, one or more TFTP server processes,
one or more SNMP trap multiplexer processes, and one or more WANBoot processes
per SUBSYS object.
PROFILE Object
The PROFILE object defines configuration modifiers that are used by the data-
communications subsystem objects. The PROFILE object is associated to a data-
communications subsystem object in the ADD DEVICE command. Each configuration
modifier defines a subsystem-specific characteristic that the data communications
subsystem object will use when started.
Each communications subsystem (ATP6100, Expand, and so on) provides one or more
object files containing these configuration modifiers. These files are write-protected, so
you use the object file as a template (or source file) when adding a PROFILE object
and save it with a profile name. After creating a PROFILE object, you associate it to a
