SETDefault -APPN LocalNodeName = <netid.cpname> [node_id]

SHow -APPN LocalNodeName

No default

Description

The LocalNodeName parameter defines the local node name assigned to the node. The local node name plus network ID creates the full control point (CP) name.

Values

<netid.cpname>	Specifies the <netid>, the unique network identifier used to identify the network node throughout the APPN network. The ID can be up to eight characters in length, and valid characters are A-Z, 0-9, $,@, #. The field cannot start with a number. You must enter a period and no space between the <netid> and the <cpname>.
	The <cpname> is the unique local node name assigned to the node, also known as the nonqualified CP name. The network ID plus this CP name creates the fully qualified CP name. The ID can be up to eight characters in length, and valid characters are A-Z, 0-9, $,@, #. The field cannot start with a number.
node_id	Specifies the local node ID number that consists of the lower 20 bits. This identification is used in the XID when link station negotiation takes place. When two nodes are negotiating a link station, the node with the higher value for the XID will be the primary link station. This value also is used for LEN end nodes, which use this value instead of the CP name during link activation. The node ID is also used to identify the node for NetVIEW alerts. The field requires a five-digit hexadecimal value, and the default is 0. This value is optional.
	The node ID is the IDNUM of the SNA node ID format BLKID/IDNUM. The BLKID used is the block number assigned to 3Com. The block number assigned to 3Com is "E06." You do not need to configure the 3Com block number on the NETBuilder bridge/router, but you may need it for configuring other systems to communicate with the NETBuilder bridge/router.
