Parameter Information

Parameter

Port name (required)

Valid Values

Name of port on which APPN routing has been enabled.
Note: If the port type is IP, no port name will be specified since there is only one IP
port.

Default Value

None

Description

This parameter specifies the name of a port providing connectivity to the shared access
transport facility (SATF) for the connection network being defined.

All ports defined for a given connection network must be the same type and have the
same characteristics.
Note: For a port type of IP, additional ports added to an IP connection network can be
any port that IP has been defined to use.

At least one additional port besides the IP port must be added for the connection
network to be used.

Since the IP port is a pseudo port that always comes up when the node is initialized,
real ports that IP is defined on (TR, ATM, FR, ...) must be added to the CN. When at
least one of these real ports is up, the connection network link is assumed active.
When all of these real ports is down, the connection network link is assumed to be
inactive.

Parameter

Limited Resource Timer

Valid Values

1 to 216000 seconds

Default Value

180

Description

This parameter specifies the timer value associated with a limited resource.

Parameter

DLCI number

Valid Values

16 to 1007

Default Value

None

Description

This parameter specifies the DLCI number used by the router to connect to the frame
relay network. When the router initiates a connection to a link station on the LAN
through the connection network, it will use this DLCI number to connect to the frame
relay network.
