The X.25 Licensed Program can be configured directly from the command line if this is desired, though for most users the SMIT interface is preferable. A set of general system and specific X.25 commands allow the X.25 system to be configured.
Instances of the adapter device driver twd are added and deleted through the system commands mkdev and rmdev. The port and adapter numbers used in the following examples would have to be replaced by those needed on a particular system.
mkdev -c driver -s artic -t star -w0 -p 'apm1'
This assumes a Portmaster adapter, but could equally be a coprocessor ampx. For more details, see the mkdev command.
rmdev -l twd1
Moves the driver twd1 to the defined state. Using the -d option also removes the configured data from the database. For more details, see the rmdev command.
lsdev -C -t star or lsx25
For more details, see the lsdev or lsx25 commands.
To manage the X.25 ports, the X.25 commands listed should be used.
| Add a port | The appropriate command to use depends on which base device driver (twd or hdlc) is used by the port.
Note: The following is only an example. |
| If the port uses the hdlc device driver: | |
| mksx25 -c port -s star -t stx25 -a nddname='hdlc2' | |
| -a local_nua='54663' -a network_id='5' | |
| If the port uses the twd device driver: | |
| mksx25 -c port -s star -t stx25 -p 'twd1' -w '4' | |
| -a local_nua='54663' -a network_id='5' | |
| Change a port | chsx25 -l sx25a0 -a... |
| Changes the attributes listed for the port given. This allows such things as VC ranges and packet sizes. to be modified. For more details, see the chsx25 command. | |
| Remove a port | rmsx25 -l sx25a0 |
| Moves the port sx25a0 to the defined state. Using the -d option also removes the configured data from the database. For more details, see the rmsx25 command. | |
| List ports | lsdev -C -t stx25 |
| Add a non-default PVC | mkpvc -U -l sx25a0 -n 4 -s 256 |
| Adds a non-default PVC on port sx25a0 's logical channel number 4, itsnon-default characteristic being a transmit packet size of 256. For more details, see the mkpvc command. | |
| List PVCs | lspvc -l sx25a0 |
| For more details, see the lspvc command. |
