Table 6. Configuration Parameter List - APPN Routing

Parameter Information
Parameter Enable APPN Valid Values Yes, No Default Value Yes Description This parameter enables or disables the router as an APPN network node. This parameter enables both APPN and HPR routing capability for this network node which consists of defining the Network ID and CP name for this node. APPN, however, must be enabled on the particular ports on which you desire to support APPN routing. Additionally, support for HPR must be enabled on the particular APPN ports desired and must be supported by the particular link stations on those ports. Note: HPR only supported on LAN, Frame Relay and PPP direct DLC ports.
Parameter Network ID (required) Valid Values A string of 1 to 8 characters: First character: A to Z Second to eighth characters: A to Z, 0 to 9 Note: A network identifier for an existing network, of which this router network node is to become a member, using the special characters @, $, and # from the character set A, continues to be supported; however, these characters should not be used for new network IDs. Default Value None Description This parameter specifies the name of the APPN network to which this network node belongs. The network ID must be the same for all network nodes in the APPN network. Attached APPN end nodes and LEN end nodes can have different network IDs.
Parameter Control point name (required) Valid Values A string of 1 to 8 characters: First character: A to Z Second to eighth characters: A to Z, 0 to 9 Note: An existing CP name that this node would be acquiring, using the special characters @, $, and # from the character set A, continues to be supported; however, these characters should not be used for new CP names. Default None Description This parameter specifies the name of the CP for this APPN network node. The CP is responsible for managing the APPN network node and its resources. The CP name is the logical name of the APPN network node in the network. The CP name must be unique within the APPN network identified by the Network ID parameter.
Parameter Enable branch extender or border node Valid Values 0 (enable neither) 1 (enable branch extender) 2 (enable border node) Default 0 Description This parameter specifies whether branch extender function, border node function, or neither will be enabled on this node. If either function is enabled, appropriate additional questions will be asked.
Parameter Permit search for unregistered LUs Valid Values Yes or No Default No Description This parameter specifies whether this node (when acting as an End Node) can be searched for LUs even if the LUs were not registered with the network node server of the Branch Extender. If yes is specified, this node can be searched for LUs. Note: This question is asked only if Enable Branch Extender or Border Node parameter is set to branch extender.
Parameter Subnet visit count Valid Values 1 -- 255 Default 3 Description Specifies the node level default for the maximum number of subnetworks that a multi-subnetwork session may traverse. The default may be overridden as part of port, link, or routing list configuration. Note: This is the first of the questions asked only if border node has been enabled.
Parameter Cache searches for (0-255) minutes Valid Values 0 - 255 Default 8 Description Specifies how many minutes the BN retains information in the multi-subnet search cache once the search terminates.
Parameter Maximum number of searches in cache Valid Values 0 - 32765 (0=unlimited) Default 0 Description Specifies the maximum number of entries in the multi-network search cache. Once this limit is reached, the oldest entries are discarded. Note: The primary mechanism for deletion of these entries is the cache search time value specified in cache searches for (0-255) minutes.
Parameter Dynamic routing list updates Valid Values 0 (none) - No dynamic entries are added. 1 (full) - All native border nodes, all adjacent non-native border and network nodes, and nodes that know of similarly named destination LUs are added. 2 (limited) - All native border nodes, all adjacent non-native border nodes and network nodes with the same NETID, and nodes that know of similarly named destination LUs are added. Default 2 Description Indicates the degree to which, if any, that a BN can supplement configured routing list data with topology data learned by the operational code. This supplemental data is not saved in SRAM.
Parameter Enable routing list optimization Valid Values Yes or No Default Yes Description Indicates whether or not a BN may reorder the operational code's temporary copy of a subnetwork routing list so that entries that are more likely to be successful are found first. Note: This is the last of the questions asked only if border node has been enabled.
Parameter Route addition resistance Valid Values 0 to 255 Default Value 128 Description This parameter indicates the desirability of routing through this node. This parameter is used in the class of service based route calculation. Lower values indicate higher levels of desirability.
Parameter XID number for subarea connection (see table notes) Valid Values A string of 5 hexadecimal digits Default X'00000' Description This parameter specifies a unique ID number (identifier) for the network node. The XID number is combined with an ID block number (which identifies a specific IBM product) to form an XID node identification. Node identifications are exchanged between adjacent nodes when the nodes are establishing a connection. The router network node automatically appends an ID block number to this parameter during the XID exchange to create an XID node identification. The ID number you assign to this node must be unique within the APPN network identified by Network ID parameter. Contact your network administrator to verify that the ID number is unique.
Note: Node identifications are normally exchanged between T2.1 nodes during CP-CP session establishment. If the network node is communicating with the IBM Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM) product through a T2.1 LEN node and the LEN node has a CP name defined for it, the XID number parameter is not required. If the adjacent LEN node is not a T2.1 node or does not have an explicitly defined CP name, the XID number parameter must be specified to establish a connection with the LEN node. VTAM versions prior to Version 3 Release 2 do not allow CP names to be defined for LEN nodes.
Parameter Use enhanced BATCH COS Valid Values Yes or No Default Yes Description This parameter specifies whether to use the enhanced COS tables. The enhanced tables assign reasonable weights to ATM TGs based on cost, speed, and delay. For ATM, the order of preference is: Campus Best Effort (SVC or PVC)/Reserved PVC (WAN or Campus) Campus Reserved SVC WAN Best Effort (SVC or PVC) WAN Reserved SVC
Parameter Use enhanced BATCHSC COS Valid Values Yes or No Default Yes Description This parameter specifies whether to use the enhanced COS tables. The enhanced tables assign reasonable weights to ATM TGs based on cost, speed, and delay.

Parameter Information
Parameter Cost per connect time Valid Values 0 to 255 Default Value For ATM SVCs: Campus ATM best effort 0 Campus ATM reserved 64 WAN ATM best effort 0 WAN ATM reserved 128 For ATM PVCs: Campus ATM best effort 0 Campus ATM reserved 0 WAN ATM best effort 0 WAN ATM reserved 0 For IP: 0 for Campus and WAN For all other: 0 Description This parameter specifies the cost per connect time TG characteristic for all link stations on this port. The cost per connect time TG characteristic expresses the relative cost of maintaining a connection over the associated TG. The units are user-defined and are typically based on the applicable tariffs of the transmission facility being used. The assigned values should reflect the actual expense of maintaining a connection over the TG relative to all other TGs in the network. A value of zero means that connections over the TG may be made at no additional cost (as in the case of many non-switched facilities). Higher values represent higher costs.
Parameter Cost per byte Valid Values 0 to 255 Default Value For ATM SVCs and ATM PVCs: Campus ATM best effort 0 Campus ATM reserved 0 WAN ATM best effort 128 WAN ATM reserved 0 For IP: 0 for Campus and WAN For all other: 0 Description This parameter specifies the cost per byte TG characteristic for all link stations defined on this port. The cost per byte TG characteristic expresses the relative cost of transmitting a byte over the associated TG. The units are user-defined and the assigned value should reflect the actual expenses incurred for transmitting over the TG relative to all other TGs in the network. A value of zero means that bytes may be transmitted over the TG at no additional cost. Higher values represent higher costs.

This parameter specifies the maximum bit transmission rate for both physical links and logical links. Note that the effective capacity for a logical link may be less than the physical link speed. The rate is represented in COS files as a floating-point number encoded in a single byte with units of 300 bps. The effective capacity is encoded as a single-byte representation. The values X'00' and X'FF' are special cases used to denote minimum and maximum capacities. The range of the encoding is very large; however, only 256 values in the range may be specified. This parameter provides the default value for the Effective capacity parameter on the Modify TG Characteristics Command Line option. The Modify TG Characteristics Command Line option enables you to override the .* default values assigned to TG characteristics on the individual link stations you define.

Parameter Maximum number of outstanding I-format LPDUs (TW) Valid Values 1 to 127 Default Value 26 Description This parameter specifies the LLC maximum number of outstanding I-format LPDUs (TW) for all link stations on this port. The maximum number of outstanding I-format LPDUs defines the transmit Command Line option (TW) which is the maximum number of sequentially numbered I-format LPDUs that the link station may have unacknowledged at any given time.
Parameter Receive window size Valid Values 1 to 127 Default Value 26 Description This parameter specifies the LLC receive Command Line option size (RW) for all link stations on this port. The RW parameter specifies the maximum number of unacknowledged sequentially numbered I-format LPDUs that the link station can receive from the remote link station. RW is advertised in SNA XID frames and IEEE 802.2 XID frames. The XID receiver should set its effective TW to a value less than or equal to the value of the received RW to avoid overruns.
Parameter Inactivity timer (Ti) Valid Values 1 to 254 seconds Default Value 30 seconds Description This parameter specifies the LLC inactivity timer (Ti) for all link stations on this port. An LLC link station uses Ti to detect an inoperative condition in either the remote link station or in the transmission media. If an LPDU is not received in the time interval specified by Ti, an S-format command LPDU with the poll bit set is transmitted to solicit remote link station status. Recovery is then based on the reply timer (T1).
Parameter Reply timer (T1) Valid Values 1 to 254 half-seconds Default Value 2 half-seconds Description This parameter specifies the LLC reply timer (T1) for all link stations on this port. An LLC link station uses T1 to detect a failure to receive a required acknowledgment or response from the remote link station. When T1 expires, the link station sends an S-format command link layer protocol data unit (LPDU) with the poll bit set to solicit remote link station status or any U-format command LPDUs that have not been responded to. The duration of T1 should take into account any delays introduced by underlying layers.
Parameter Maximum number of retransmissions (N2) Valid Values 1 to 254 Default Value 8 Description This parameter specifies the maximum number of retransmissions (N2) for all link stations on this port. The N2 parameter specifies the maximum number of times an LPDU will be retransmitted following expiration of the reply timer (T1).
Parameter Receive acknowledgment timer (T2) Valid Values 1 to 254 half-seconds Default Value 1 half-second Description This parameter specifies the LLC receiver acknowledgment timer (T2) for all link stations on this port. The T2 parameter may be used with the N3 counter to reduce acknowledgment traffic. A link station uses T2 to delay the sending of an acknowledgment for a received I-format LPDU. T2 is started when an I-format LPDU is received, and reset when an acknowledgment is sent in an I-format or S-format LPDU. If T2 expires, the link station must send an acknowledgment as soon as possible. The value of T2 must be less than that of T1, to ensure that the remote link station will receive the delayed acknowledgment before its T1 expires.
Parameter Acknowledgments needed to increment working window Valid Values 0 to 127 Default Value 1 Description When the working window (Ww) is not equal to the Maximum Transmit Window Size (Tw), this parameter is the number of transmitted I-format LPDUs that must be acknowledged before the working window can be incremented (by 1). When congestion is detected, by the loss of I-format LPDUs, Ww is set to 1.

Parameter Adjacent node type Valid Values APPN network node, APPN end node, LEN end node Default Value APPN network node Description This parameter identifies whether the adjacent node is an APPN node, a low-entry networking (LEN) end node. When APPN end node is selected and Limited resource is No, APPN changes the adjacent node type internally to learn and will work with any node type. When APPN end node is selected and Limited resource is Yes, the adjacent node type is unchanged. When you select LEN end node, the fully-qualified control point name parameter is a required parameter. If this network node is communicating with the IBM Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM) product through the LEN node, and the LEN node is not a T2.1 node or does not have an explicitly defined control point (CP) name, then the router network node's XID number for the Subarea connection parameter also must be specified to establish a connection. Note: LEN end node is not a valid node type for HPR/IP interface.

Default Value None Description This parameter specifies the fully-qualified CP name of the adjacent node. For the cases where this parameter is not required, the adjacent node's CP name may be learned dynamically during XID exchange; however, if a CP name is specified, it must match the adjacent node's definition for the link to be successfully activated. Note: This parameter is required when any of the following occur: The Service any node parameter is set to Disable. The Adjacent node type parameter is set to LEN end node. The CP-CP session level security parameter is set to Enable. The link is a limited resource.
Parameter Activate link automatically If limited resource, then this parameter is set to No and is not configurable.

No for all other adjacent node types Description This parameter specifies whether sessions between control points are to be activated over this link station. This parameter allows control of CP-CP session establishment between adjacent network nodes so that the overhead associated with topology database updates (TDUs) may be constrained. Note: Every APPN network node must have at least one CP-CP session established to another APPN network node in order to maintain the minimum connectivity necessary to update the topology database. In addition, more than minimum connectivity could be desired to eliminate single points of failure and to improve network dynamics.

When session level security is enabled, encrypted data is exchanged and compared during the BIND flows (which includes the BIND, the BIND response, and an FMH-12 Security RU). To successfully establish a CP-CP session with session level security enabled, both partners must be configured with the same encryption key. Currently, session level security support is limited to the basic LU-LU verification protocol.
Parameter Encryption key Valid Values Up to 16 hexadecimal digits. If fewer than 16 digits are specified, the value is padded on the right with zeros.

Description This parameter specifies the maximum number of unacknowledged sequentially numbered I-format LPDUs that the LLC link station can receive from the remote link station. RW is advertised in SNA XID frames and IEEE 802.2 XID frames. The XID receiver should set its effective TW to a value less than or equal to the value of the received RW to avoid overruns.
Parameter Inactivity timer (Ti) Valid Values 1 to 254 seconds Default Value Default value is taken from the associated port parameter. Description A link station uses Ti to detect an inoperative condition in either the remote link station or in the transmission media. If an LPDU is not received in the time interval specified by Ti, an S-format command LPDU with the poll bit set is transmitted to solicit remote link station status. Recovery is then based on the reply timer (T1).
Parameter Reply timer (T1) Valid Values 1 to 254 half-seconds Default Value Default value is taken from the associated port parameter. Description A link station uses T1 to detect a failure to receive a required acknowledgment or response from the remote link station. When T1 expires, the link station sends an S-format command link layer protocol data unit (LPDU) with the poll bit set to solicit remote link station status or any U-format command LPDUs that have not been responded to. The duration of T1 should take into account any delays introduced by underlying layers.

Parameter Information

Parameter fully-qualified LU name Valid Values fully-qualified (explicit) LU name Generic (partially explicit) LU name Wildcard entry A string of up to 17 characters in the form of netID.LUname, where: netID is a network ID from 1 to 8 characters LUname is a control point name from 1 to 8 characters Each name must conform to the following rules: First character: A to Z Second to eighth characters: A to Z, 0 to 9 Note: An existing fully-qualified LU name, using the special characters @, $, and # from the character set A, continues to be supported; however, these characters should not be used for new LU names. To reduce the number of fully-qualified LU names you need to specify, you can define a generic LU name using the wildcard character (*) to represent a portion of the LU name (LUname). You can also define a wildcard entry by using the wildcard character as the whole LU name. Default Value None Description This parameter specifies the fully-qualified names of LUs associated with a LEN end node. The specified LU names are registered in the network node's directory services database. If a name is not registered, the network node cannot locate the LU (unless the LU name is the same as the CP name of the LEN end node). You need to specify a fully-qualified LU name, which consists of a network ID and the LU name. The network ID is the name of the network that contains the adjacent LEN end node. The LU name is the name of a logical unit accessible through the adjacent LEN end node.

The fully-qualified VRN Name (CP name of VRN) has the form: NetworkID.ConnectionNetworkName where NetworkID is this router network node's network identifier.
Parameter Port type (required) Valid Values Token-ring, Ethernet, Frame Relay BAN, IP, ATM 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 type of ports providing connectivity to the SATF for the connection network being defined. A given connection network only supports one type of port with one set of characteristics.
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 LDLC retry count Valid Values 1 to 255 Default Value 3 Description This parameter is used in conjunction with the LDLC timer period to provide reliable delivery of XIDs. The retry count is initialized when a command or request is first transmitted over the link. If the LDLC timer period expires before a response is received, the command or request is retransmitted, the retry count is decremented, and the LDLC timer period is restarted. If the timer expires with the retry count at 0, the link is assumed to be inoperative.
Parameter LDLC Timer Period Valid Values 1 to 255 seconds Default Value For ATM: 1 second For IP: 15 seconds Description This parameter specifies the timer period used with the LDLC retry count.
Parameter Broadband Bearer Class Valid Values Class_A, Class_C, or Class_X Default Value Class_X Description This parameter specifies the bearer class requested from the ATM network. The classes are defined: Class A Constant bit rate (CBR) with end-to-end timing requirements Class C Variable bit rate (VBR) with no end-to-end timing requirements Class X Service allowing user-defined traffic type and timing requirements

Table 34. Configuration Parameter List - TG Characteristics (Connection Network)

Parameter Information
Parameter Cost per connect time Valid Values 0 to 255 Default Value 0 Description This parameter expresses the relative cost of maintaining a connection over the associated TG. The units are user-defined and are typically based on the applicable tariffs of the transmission facility being used. The assigned values should reflect the actual expense of maintaining a connection over the TG relative to all other TGs in the network. A value of zero means that connections over the TG may be made at no additional cost (as in the case of many non-switched facilities). Higher values represent higher costs.
Parameter Cost per byte Valid Values 0 to 255 Default Value 0 Description This parameter expresses the relative cost of transmitting a byte over the associated TG. The units are user-defined and the assigned value should reflect the actual expenses incurred for transmitting over the TG relative to all other TGs in the network. A value of zero means that bytes may be transmitted over the TG at no additional cost. Higher values represent higher costs.
Parameter Security Valid Values Nonsecure - all else (for example, satellite-connected, or located in a nonsecure country). Public switched network - secure in the sense that route is not predetermined. Underground cable - located in secure country (as determined by the network administrator). Secure conduit - not guarded, (for example, pressurized pipe). Guarded conduit - protected against physical tapping. Encrypted - link-level encryption is provided. Guarded radiation - guarded conduit containing the transmission medium; protected against physical and radiation tapping. Default Value Nonsecure Description This parameter indicates the level of security protection associated with the TG. If security attributes other than the architecturally-defined ones are needed, one of the user-defined TG characteristics may be used to specify additional values.
Parameter Propagation delay Valid Values Minimum LAN - less than 480 microseconds Telephone - between .48 and 49.152 milliseconds Packet switched - between 49.152 and 245.76 milliseconds Satellite - greater than 245.76 milliseconds Maximum Default Value LAN Description This parameter specifies the approximate range for the length of time that it takes for a signal to propagate from one end of the TG to the other.
Parameter Effective capacity Valid Values 2 hexadecimal digits in the range X'00' to X'FF' Default Value X'75' Description This parameter specifies the effective maximum bit transmission rate for this connection network TG. Effective capacity specifies the maximum effective rate for both physical links and logical links. The effective capacity is encoded as a single-byte representation. The values X'00' and X'FF' are special cases used to denote minimum and maximum capacities. The range of the encoding is very large; however, only 256 values in the range may be specified.
Parameter First user-defined characteristic Valid Values 0 to 255 Default Value 128 Description This parameter specifies the first of three additional characteristics that users may define to describe the TGs in the network. The default value of 128 allows a subset of TGs to be defined as more or less desirable than the rest without defining values for all TGs.
Parameter Second user-defined characteristic Valid Values 0 to 255 Default Value 128 Description This parameter specifies the second of three additional characteristics that users may define to describe the TGs in the network. The default value of 128 allows a subset of TGs to be defined as more or less desirable than the rest without defining values for all TGs.

Default Value None Description This parameter specifies the name of the connection network being defined on this router network node. Since this name becomes the CP name of the virtual routing node (VRN), the name must be unique among all CP and LU names in the APPN network (same as in the local Control Point Name). All nodes that are members of a given connection network must use the same VRN Name. The fully-qualified VRN Name (CP name of VRN) has the form: NetworkID.ConnectionNetworkName where NetworkID is this router network node's network identifier.
Parameter Port name Valid Values A unique unqualified name that is automatically generated by the Command Line.

Note: If the local link will be used for a DDDLU PU, you should specify yes to this question. If the local link is not set to autoactivate, then the first attempt to use the local pu (that is, the first attempt to establish a TN3270 session) will fail because the link is not yet up. While this attempt will fail, it causes the link to come up, and that link will be available for the next attempt. Since the link comes up when the SSCP-PU session is established, and that is when the link is identified as a DDDLU link. No DDDLU sessions can be established until the link is identified as a DDDLU link.

This question will be repeated until terminated with a null entry. Notes: Only a single entry among all of the routing lists may have a standalone "*" . This will match all LUs, and the routing list containing it is known as the default routing list. All the editing shortcuts described at the beginning of this table are available to speed modification of a previously configured routing CP(s) list. Any given LU name may not be duplicated in another routing list. Maximum number of LU names that may be specified: 2216 - 126

Table 40. Configuration Parameter List - COS Mapping Table Configuration

Parameter Information
Parameter COS mapping table name Valid Values Character string up to 20 characters in length, with no imbedded blanks. Mixed case and special characters are allowed. Default Value Blank Description This parameter identifies a specific COS mapping table. It allows you to identify the table for modification, listing, or deletion by the configuration software. It is not used by the operational software. Up to 255 COS mapping tables may be configured depending upon availability of configuration memory. Case is respected.
Parameter Non-native NETID or CP name Valid Values A fully-qualified CP name with optional trailing wildcard. Legal characters for the CP name are: A-Z, @, $, #, 0-9 The first character of the NETID part and of the CP name part must be non-numeric. Any of the fully-qualified CP names may be terminated with a wildcard "*" character to designate a range of CPs. For example: * NET1* NET1.LUA* Default Value Blank Description This parameter specifies a list of one or more non-native networks that this mapping table applies to. This question is repeated until terminated with a null entry. Notes: Only a single entry among all the routing lists may have a standalone "*" . This will match all non-native networks, and is known as the default routing list. Any given CP name may not be duplicated in another COS mapping table. Maximum number of CP names that may be specified: 2216 - 126
Parameter Native and non-native COS-name pair Valid Values A pair of COS names, separated by a blank. Legal characters are: A-Z, @, $, #, 0-9 The first character of each name must be non-numeric. Default Value Blank Description This parameter identifies a pair of COS names. A native COS name is followed by the corresponding non-native COS name. For any given COS mapping table, one of the COS name pairs may specify the non-native COS name as "*" . This designates the default entry to use for all non-native COS names that do not explicitly match another entry in the table. One COS name pair cannot exactly match another COS name pair in a given table. However, a given native COS name can be used in multiple entries, and it is also okay for a given non-native COS name to be used in multiple entries. The operational software will use the first entry it finds. This question will be repeated until terminated with a null entry. Notes: The native and non-native names cannot be identical. Only COS names that need to be changed should be specified. A given native or non-native COS name may appear in multiple entries, but you cannot have two identical COS name pairs. When you have multiple native COS names mapping to the same non-native COS name, the border node will use the first of those mappings when it needs to map from non-native to native. Similarly, when you have multiple non-native COS names mapping to a common native COS name, the border node will use the first of those mappings when it needs to map from native to non-native. Any given COS mapping table can have the following maximum number of COS name pairs: 2216 - 46 Across all COS mapping tables, you may use no more than the following number of native COS names: 2216 - 144 There is no analogous limit for non-native COS names. Any given native COS name may appear no more than 255 times across all routing lists.

Parameter LU Name Mask Valid Values A string of 1 to 5 characters: First character: A to Z, @, $, and # Second to eighth characters: A to Z, 0 to 9 Default Value @01LU Description This parameter specifies the mask to be used to ensure that the LU names will not duplicate other names in the network. LU names are generated by appending the NAU address to the end of the LU name mask. When not specifying an address range, NAU addresses from 2 - 253 will be checked to see if the address is unused. If the address is available, it will be used. Otherwise, the next NAU address will be tried. For example, if the LU name mask is FRED, the possible LU names are [FRED2, FRED3, ..., FRED253].
Parameter LU type Valid Values 1 - 3270 Mod 2 display 2 - 3270 Mod 3 display 3 - 3270 Mod 4 display 4 - 3270 Mod 5 display 5 - 3270 printer 6 - SCS printer Default Value 1 Description This parameter specifies the type of dependent LU for the LU being added.
Parameter Specify LU address range? Valid Values Yes or No Default Value No Description This parameter specifies whether you want to define an LU address range.
Parameter LU address range Valid Values Any range of values within 2 - 253 Default Value none Description This parameter specifies LU address range. The LU address range can be specified by using the following format: lower_address_bound-upper_address_bound If no hyphen follows the first value, that value is assumed to be a single LU address. Multiple ranges can be entered, separated by commas. For example, the following string specifies 2 address ranges and 2 specific LU addresses: 2-40,56,58,100-250
Parameter Number of implicit workstation definitions Valid Values 1 to 253 Default Value 1 Description This parameter specifies the number of dependent LUs to be added to the implicit pool.

add

map

This command adds a client IP address to LU name mapping. You will be prompted to enter values for the following parameters. The parameter range will be shown in parentheses ( ). The parameter default will be shown in square brackets [ ].

The following mapping rules apply:

• If a map definition contains a full subnet mask (255.255.255.255), indicating that the entry is for a specific client and a specific LU/pool is not requested by the client, any LU/pool in the map definition that matches the connection type may be tried.

• If a map definition does not contain a full subnet mask and a specific LU/pool is not requested, only pool entries in the map definition will be tried. You cannot create a definition that maps a subnet to a specific LU. You must map the subnet to a pool.

• For individual workstation LUs with associated printers, only the workstation LU is required to be in the map definition.

• If a connection request is received from a client and there are no map entries that match, the request will be rejected.

• A mixture of pool and LU types can be added to a particular map. The resource selected will be based on the type of connection request. The order in which the resources are defined in the map will be the order in which it is chosen for a particular connection request.

• The LU name cannot be mapped to the network IP address mapping.

Note:

When a client connects while mapping is enabled, the server will begin ANDing the client's IP address with the subnet mask of each sequential map. The longest match between the incoming client IP address and the map definition determines which map definition is tried first. If all eligible resources in the map definition are in use, the map definitions are again searched for the next most specific match.
