ConnNetworkDef

Syntax

ADD !<port> -APPN ConnNetworkDef [netid.]<cn name> [TG profile name]
DELete !<port> -APPN ConnNetworkDef [netid.]<cn name>
SHow -APPN ConnNetworkDef [[netid.]cn name]

Default

No default

Description

The ConnNetworkDef parameter adds or deletes connection network definitions. If the node is active, the addition or deletion is dynamic. The optional TG profile_name specifies the default TG characteristics for the connection network. Because the connection network can be defined for multiple ports, the profile only needs to be specified on the first ADD command.

Values

netid.

Specifies the net ID of the connection network. If you specify the net ID, you must type a period immediately following the name, and then the cn_name must immediate follow the period. If you do not specify the net ID, the net ID of the local network node is used.

<cn name>

Specifies the name assigned to the connection network. If you enter the net ID, you must type a period immediately after it, then type the connection network (CN) name immediately after the period to create the fully qualified CN name. The CN name can be up to eight characters in length, and valid characters are A-Z, 0-9, $, @, #. The name cannot start with a number, a space or a period. This value is optional.

TG profile name

Specifies the TG profile assigned to the connection network. The TG profile is a set of default values that apply to the connection network if chosen. When a TG profile is specified, the proper capacity and propagation delay values are assigned to the link station based on the link speed of the media.

If no profile for the link station is specified, then the profile specified for the port using the PortDef parameter is used. If a TG profile for the port is not specified, then the system automatically picks a profile corresponding to the port's baud rate. If the port is not active and the baud rate is unknown, then the system defaults to the Ser64 profile. For a list of TG profiles, see Table 15 earlier in this chapter.
