COSNodeRow

Syntax

ADD -APPN COSNodeRow <cos name> <weight>(0-255) [Congestion=min (Yes|No),max (Yes|No)] [Resistance=min,max]
DELete -APPN COSNodeRow <cos name> <row num>
SHow -APPN COSNodeRow [cosname]

Default

No default

Description

The COSNodeRow parameter defines the characteristics of the class of service (COS) node row. You can define the characteristics of a node row in the node table. Weight is determined by the congestion state and resistance (desirability of routing). Node rows are sorted in ascending weight order. Using the SHow command, you can display all node rows for user-configured classes of service. If you enter the class of service name, you display only the node rows for the specific class of service.

In the values specifying minimum and maximum values, you must specify both, separated by a comma (but no space). In the value that takes in decimal values (resistance), you can use hexadecimal values if preceded with "0x" (for example, 0x100).

Values

Select the following values using the ADD command:

<cos name>

Specifies the class of service name. The name can be up to eight characters long.

<weight>

Specifies the weight associated with the row. Valid values are from 0-255.

Congestion

Specifies the minimum and maximum congestion values for the node. For both the minimum and maximum values, specify either Yes (congested) or No (uncongested) for both minimum and maximum values. The default value for minimum congestion is No (uncongested), and the default value for maximum congestion is Yes (congested).

If you set the minimum congestion value to No and the maximum congestion to No, if the node on the desired path is congested, it will not satisfy the requirements of the entry. If you set the minimum congestion to No and the maximum congestion to Yes (the default), the node is considered a "wide open" gate and satisfies the requirements of the entry. If you set both the minimum and maximum congestion values to Yes, only a congested node satisfies the entry requirements; this combination is not recommended. If you set the minimum congestion to Yes and the maximum congestion to No, it is illegal. No nodes can satisfy the entry requirements.

Resistance

Specifies the minimum and maximum resistance values for the row. A value between 0-255 indicates both the minimum resistance (the lowest acceptable route addition resistance), and the maximum resistance (the highest acceptable route addition resistance) for this row. The default for the minimum resistance is 0. The default for the maximum resistance is 255.

CAUTION: If you are creating a customized class of service table, make sure that you configure the last node row in the table to include both the minimum and maximum values for all characteristics. Otherwise, you risk creating a situation in which none of the node rows in the table apply.

Select the following values using the DELete command:

<cos name>

Specifies the class of service name with the row to be deleted.

<row num>

Specifies the row number to be deleted.

Example

To add a COS node row to the COS named COSA in which the weight is 255, the minimum congestion is Yes and the maximum congestion is Yes, and the minimum resistance is 128 and the maximum resistance is 255, enter:

ADD -APPN COSNodeRow COSA 255 Congestion=Yes,Yes Resistance=128,255
