Table 23. Configuration Parameter List - Link Station - Detail (continued)
Parameter Information
Parameter
Link type (X.25 and ATM only)
If limited resource = yes is configured for this link station, then the link type parameter
defaults to a value of 1 (SVC) and is not configurable.
Valid Values
If PVC, then specify a logical channel number in the range of 1 - 4095
If SVC, then specify a DTE address that is variable length up to 15 digits
Default Value
0, unless it is a limited resource.
Description
This parameter specifies whether the X.25 link is a PVC or SVC.
Parameter
MAC address of adjacent node (required) (Ethernet, token-ring, DLSw, FR bridged
format only)
Valid Values
Token-ring and DLSw ports:
v 12 hexadecimal digits in the range X'000000000001' to X'7FFFFFFFFFFF'
Ethernet/802.3 ports:
v 12 hexadecimal digits in the form X'xyxxxxxxxxxx' where:
x is any hexadecimal digit
y is a hexadecimal digit in the set {0, 2, 4, 6, 8, A, C, E}
Default Value
None
Description
This parameter specifies the medium access control (MAC) layer address of the
adjacent node. Different formats are used for token-ring and Ethernet/802.3.
Token-ring and DLSw ports:
The MAC address is specified in noncanonical form. In the noncanonical address
format, the bit within each octet that is to be transmitted first is represented as the
most significant bit.
Ethernet/802.3 ports:
The MAC address is specified in canonical form. In the canonical address format,
the bit within each octet that is to be transmitted first is represented as the least
significant bit.
