na Commands

The na utility provides the commands for managing the Annex. These

commands allow you to:

• Set and display the operating characteristics of the Annex and its
ports.

• Reboot or reset the Annex and its ports.

• Broadcast administrative messages to the Annex ports.

The na utility is stored on and accessed from a UNIX host.

The Annex stores the parameters set using na in non-volatile memory.
After a reboot or a reset, the Annex updates its run-time parameters with
the non-volatile parameters changed by na. The na utility can
communicate with the Annex only when the Annex is running its
operational code.

All na commands are taken from the na standard input: you can run na
interactively or provide it with input through a file or pipeline. You can
create a script file containing na commands to configure an Annex. This
script file can save the configuration information for a specific Annex
and, when required, restore the configuration.

This chapter illustrates command names, parameter names, and keywords

Interactivena sessions allow you to enter na commands with or without
arguments or parameters. If you enter the command without arguments
or parameters, na prompts for them. The conventions for an interactive
session are:

• You can abbreviate commands and parameter names to the

"); otherwise the space is assumed to be a delimiter.

• The UNIX interrupt character (usually

CTRL-C) returns you to

the command prompt.

Additionally, na permits comments when the # character is present at the
beginning of a comment line. All characters between the # and the next
new line are ignored.T able C-1 describes the supported arguments forna.

Seven of the na commands use standard UNIX superuser protection –
only a superuser at the host can execute these commands: boot,
broadcast, copy, dumpboot, read, reset, and set.

annex

The annex command establishes a default annex_list that is used in
subsequent commands. Before issuing an na command, specify the
Annex to which the executed command refers. The Annexes you specify
using theannex command become the defaultannex_list. You can group
several Annexes into a single list, and then issue one command for the
entire group of Annexes. The syntax is:

annex annex_list

Book C-6

Chapter 1 na Commands

The following example creates an annex_listcontaining one Annex with
the Internet address 132.245.6.40:

command: annex 132.245.6.40

The following example creates an annex_list containing two Annexes
–one specified by its IP address, and the other specified by its name:

command: annex 132.245.6.40,frontlobby

The following example shows how na prompts for missing arguments:

command: annex
enter default annex list: 132.245.6.40,frontlobby

The following annex command displays a message identifying the
specified Annex, its Internet address, the number of serial lines it has,
and its software version:

command: annex 132.245.6.1

132.245.6.1: Remote Annex Rx.x,72 ports

The following annex command causes an Annex to prompt for an
administrative password, provided that the password has been set and
security has been enabled:

command: annex frontlobby
Password for 132.245.6.40 <frontlobby>
frontlobby: Remote Annex Rx.x,72 ports

If you use the na command password to define a default password for
this na session, and that password matches the Annex administrative
password, no password prompt appears and normal processing
continues (see password on page A-17).

Remote Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIX

Book C-7

Chapter 1 na Commands

Book C

The password is not echoed when entered using the annex command. If
you enter an incorrect password, na prompts for the correct one. If the
password is incorrect a second time, na drops the Annex from the
annex_list. If an Annex in the list does not respond,naignores that Annex
and prints a status message:

132.245.6.1: Not responding
Warning:132.245.6.1 has been dropped from the list

The na utility drops an Annex from the annex_list if its name could not
be translated to an Internet address, if it does not respond because it is
down, or if the wrong Internet address was entered using the annex
command.

boot

Thebootcommand reboots all Annexes in the annex_list and, optionally,
produces a dump of the Annex’s memory, including the operational code.
You can set a time at which the boot is to take place. The boot command
can send a warning message to users attached to the Annex. Table C-3
lists the supported arguments for the boot command. The syntax is:

boot [–adhlq] [[+] [HH:] [MM]] [annex_list] [filename] [warning]

When the Annex reboots, it terminates all active connections.
If you try to boot software Release 8.0 and above on a unit

with less than 2 MB of system RAM, the Net, Load, and Status 8
indicators will flash until the Reset button is pressed.

If you try to boot with a non-existent image file name, the Annex will
hang as it searches for the image. You must press the Reset button to
recover.

–d Causes a dump before rebooting.
–h Causes a diagnostic boot using the ROM Monitor boot

command if the Annex is in Test mode.

–l Boots the operational image and stores it on local media; for

use with the stand-alone file system. Only ROM revisions
0600 and greater with the self-boot option loaded support –l.

After a boot –l is ex ecuted, the ls command may not show the

newly-loaded image.
–q Causes a boot without sending a warning message.
HH:MM The exact clock time for the boot, e.g., 15:15 indicates 3:15

p.m.
+HH:MM The number of hours and minutes before the boot takes place,

e.g., +2:15 indicates a boot will occur in two hours and fifteen

minutes.

annex_list Specifies the Annexes to be booted. If you do not include an

annex_list, the command prompts for it. Pressing the Return

key accepts the default annex_list.
filename Identifies the name of the file in which the Annex’s image is

maintained. If you do not enter a filename, the Annex prompts

for one. Pressing the Return key at the prompt directs the

Annex to boot the default filename.
warning Allows an additional 249-character message. Warning

messages are sent out to users periodically. If you do not

specify a time delay or message, the boot command generates

an automatic warning message.

Remote Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIX

Book C-9

Chapter 1 na Commands

Book C

The following sample boot command requests a boot in one hour and
fifteen minutes:

command: boot +1:15
annex list (return for default): thirdfloor, 132.245.6.40
filename (return for default): <cr>
warning: Shutting down for PM

The Annex can request its boot file from a defined preferred load host. If
that host is not defined, or does not respond, the Annex broadcasts its
request and boots from the first load host to respond.

broadcast

The broadcast command sends a message to specified ports at the
identified Annexes. The syntax is:

broadcast [=port_set | =keyword [@annex_identifier]] message
The port_set argument indicates the port(s) to which the message is to

be broadcast. If the message requires more than one line, using the \
character at the end of each line inserts a new line. Table C-4 lists the
available keywords.

dumpboot

The dumpboot command requires superuser privileges. When the
Annex dumpboots, it terminates all active connections.

The dumpboot command performs a dump of every Annex specified in
the annex_list and then reboots the Annex. You can set the boot time,
and the dumpboot command sends a warning message to users attached
to the Annex. Table C-6 describes the arguments for dumpboot. The
syntax is:

dumpboot [–aq] [[+] [HH:] [MM]] [annex_list] [filename] [warning]
The following is an example of the dumpboot command:

command: dumpboot
annex list (return for default): backhall
filename (return for default): <cr>
warning: Diagnostic testing

The Annex sends the dump to a defined preferred dump host. If that host
is not defined or does not respond, the Annex broadcasts its dump request
and dumps to the first host that responds.

interface

The interface command establishes a default interface_set used in
subsequent commands until another interface or list of interfaces is
specified. Grouping interfaces using an interface_set allows you to issue
onena command to examine or change the parameter values for multiple
interfaces. The syntax is:

interface interface_set | all
If you do not identify a specific Annex using the @ symbol and a name

or Internet address when entering the interface_set, all Annexes in the
current annex_list are used. An interface_set referring to the default
annex_list is updated if a newannex command is issued. Specifying all
sets the default interface_ set to all SLIP and PPP interfaces plus en0.

This example defines the default interface_set as interface asy1 on the
Annex whose Internet address is 132.254.6.34:

command: interface [email protected]

The next example defines the default interface_set as interfaces asy1
through asy3on the same Annex as above, plusasy2 on the Annex whose
Internet address is 132.254.35.120:

command: interface asy1–[email protected];[email protected]

Chapter 1 na Commands

password

The password command allows you to define a default password for the
current na session. This command is useful when administering several
Annexes with the same password. The syntax is:

password [password]
If you enter the command without giving the password, the Annex

prompts for one, but does not echo it:

command: password
password:

When accessing an Annex with security enabled using the annex
command, na will try to match the Annex’s default password with the
administrative password. If they match, access is authorized
automatically; if they do not match, na prompts for the Annex-specific
administrative password. Enter a password for a given Annex only once
during an na session, even if the Annex is dropped or the default
annex_list is changed.

port

The port command establishes a default port_set used in subsequent
commands until another port or a list of ports is specified. Grouping ports
using a port_set allows you to issue one na command to examine or
change the parameter values for multiple ports. The syntax is:

[port | asynchronous] [port_set | keyword]

The read command reads a script file that contains na commands. The
naprogram executes these commands as if they were entered at a terminal
in interactive mode. Use read either to restore an Annex configuration
that has been lost, or to copy parameter settings from one Annex to
another. The syntax is:

read filename
You can create script files using a text editor or the write command.

Book C-19

Chapter 1 na Commands

Book C

If you plan to use LAT or a feature enabled through the option_key
parameter, set the lat_key and option_key parameters manually (using
na or admin) and reboot the Annex before issuing the read command.
Thelat_keyandoption_key parameters are not enabled until you reboot,
and any LAT- or option_key-related parameters in the script file are not
recognized until lat_key or option_key is enabled. Also, make sure the
script file does not contain a differentoption_k ey setting; if it does, delete
the setting before issuing a read.

If a script file was written from an Annex that had option_key enabled,
and you are reading the file to an Annex on which option_key has not
been enabled, delete the option_key and all related parameters from the
script file before issuing a read.

The read command loads parameters even if the subsystem
is disabled.

The following sample script file, called testscript, modifies Annex
parameters:

# standard parameters for Annexes on our network

Chapter 1 na Commands

write

The write command creates a script file from the configuration data for
a specific Annex. You can modify this script file using any text editor.
Use the write command either to back up the current Annex’s
configuration or copy it to multiple Annexes. Once you write a script file,
issuing the read command activates the Annex parameter settings
contained in the file (for more details, seeread on page A-19).The syntax
for write is:

write annex_identifier filename

For security reasons, the following basic Annex and port parameters
are written to the script file as comments: acp_key, lat_key,

option_key, password, port_password, ppp_password_remote,
rip_auth, and vcli_password.

Since the inet_addr parameter uniquely identifies the Annex’s
location in the network, it is not written to the script file and it is not
restored during a read. You must set this parameter manually.

You can remove the pound sign (#) from the parameters written as
comments in the script file, enter valid data for their settings, and
issue a read command to copy or restore these parameters to another
Annex.

Entering passwords as plain text in the script file poses a possible
security breach for your system. Take appropriate precautions against
unauthorized access of this file.

The write command writes set annex, set printer, set port, and set
interface commands into the script file for each basic Annex, printer,
port, and interface parameter. The write command also includes echo
commands in the script file. When the script is executed using the read
command, the arguments to theechocommand are written to the standard
output, indicating the progress of the read.

The following is an example of the write command:

command: write 132.245.6.101 fronthall.script

The following example uses the write and read commands to install a
new Annex and to create a back-up copy of an Annex. The first line writes
configuration data for the Annex thirdfloor to a file named
thirdfloor.prm. The data from thirdfloor is copied to the new Annex
specified in the annex_list defined using the annex command.

command: write thirdfloor.prm

Configuration Parameters

The configuration parameters define the operating characteristics for

a given Annex. There are three ways in which you can configure and
manage these parameters:

• The host-based na utility sends requests to the Annex to read,

set, reset, show, or copy configuration parameters (for more
details, see na Commands on page Book C-1).

• The CLI admin command is a counterpart of na that runs

locally on the Annex.

• The SNMP agent included in the Annex software provides MIB
objects that can be read and set by a standard SNMP
management station; these MIB objects correspond to the
configuration parameters (for more details, see Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) on page Book B-41).

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Parameter Conventions.

• Parameter Descriptions.

Parameter Conventions

This section describes the conventions for entering parameter v alues and
returning those values to the supplied defaults.

Book C-33Remote Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIX

Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters

Entering Parameter Values

The conventions for entering parameter values depend on the type of
information the parameter defines.

• For parameters requiring an IP address, specify the address in

• For parameters requiring a yes/no input, use either Y or N.

• For parameters that define passwords, the na/admin command

number, or a combination of both: 192.9.200.100,

These parameters are not case sensitive.

show displays only “<set>” or “<unset>”; it never displays the
values entered for the parameters. If you forget a password after
setting it, you can reset it only by using the ROM monitor erase
command to erase all of the Annex’s non-volatile memory.

Saving the configuration to a file (using the write
command) prevents having to reconfigure the Annex if
non-volatile memory is erased.

• Parameters that require a string for input allow a maximum of 16
characters, unless otherwise specified.

Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters

Setting Parameters to Supplied Defaults

Each configuration parameter, except the Annex’s IP address, has a
default value. Using the na command set, you can return any parameter
to its default setting (for more details, see set on page Book C-24).
Depending on the parameter type, the syntax options are:

Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters

Setting All
Parameters

T o set all of the Annex’s parameters to the supplied def aults, use the ROM
monitor erase command (see the appropriate Remote Annex Hardware
Installation Guide). This command erases all parameters, including the
Annex’s IP address. After issuing erase, you must re-enter the Annex’s
IP address and re-configure the Annex.

Parameter Descriptions

The Annex configuration parameters are grouped by type, e.g., Annex,
interface, etc. Parameters within these groups are further divided by
relative function. Each function has an associated keyword (e.g.,
nameserver, security, time, etc.). The set and show commands accept
these keywords as arguments.

Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters

a_router

The Ethernet address of the network’s A_Router. The Annex uses this
value as a hint at start-up. When a Routing Table Maintenance Protocol
(RTMP) message arrives from this Ethernet address, the Annex gleans
the AppleTalk DDP address from the packet and tries to talk to the
AppleTalk router. The address is a hexadecimal Ethernet address, e.g.,
00-7F-12-33-44-55. The default is 00-00-00-00-00-00.

acp_key

This Annex parameter defines the encryption key used to exchange
messages between the Annex and the security server. This parameter
works only when theenable_securityparameter is set toYand a security
server is defined. The security server maintains the encryption key for
each Annex in theacp_keys file. The default for this string is“<unset>. ”

The Annex and the security server can communicate only when this
parameter’s value matches the Annex’s value in the security server’s
acp_keys file.

address_origin

This asynchronous port parameter determines where the Remote Annex
looks to find the local and remote IP addresses to use for the endpoints
of a PPP/IPCP link. T able C-20 describes the options. The default islocal.

When address_origin is set to acp, the local and remote field settings
in the acp_dialup file supersede the values set in the local_address
and remote_address port parameters (for more details, see

This asynchronous port parameter turns on ACP service for an AppleT alk
session on this port. When both at_security and enable_security are
enabled, the Annex uses ACP to get security information about the client,
including authentication, logging, and zone access. If at_security is not
enabled, the Annex uses only local security . AY enables this parameter,
an N disables it. The default is N.

reply to a host that broadcasts a subnet mask request. A Y enables this
parameter, an N disables it. The default is Y.

authorized_groups

This asynchronous port parameter specifies the LAT protocol remote
group codes that are accessible to users on a given Annex port. You can
enter all, none, a series of numbers between 0 and 255 separated by
commas (e.g., 1, 5,7) or a range of numbers between 0 and 255separated
by dashes (e.g., 1–5,200–255) followed by enabled or disabled. The
default is all disabled.

autobaud

This asynchronous port parameter determines whether or not the Annex
automatically detects line speed when a connection is opened and whether
or not it sets matching terminal port characteristics on the next login. This
parameter works only when the Annex is configured as a VMS interface

autodetect_timeout

This Annex parameter specifies the maximum amount of time the Annex
should wait for auto_detect mode to identify an incoming call as PPP . If
the specified number of seconds is exceeded, or if the user enters a carriage
return before the call is detected as PPP , the Anne x places the user in CLI
mode. Valid values for the parameter are 1 - 60; the default value is 30.

backward_key

This asynchronous port parameter specifies a character or string that
reopens the next lower numbered session (already established at your
port) from within the current session without returning to local mode.
When defining this value, use a unique, unused character (such as Control
B) or a string of characters. T o clear an existing setting, enter a null string
(""). The default is no control character sequence.

Book C

On virtual (telnet) ports, the backward_key value is limited to one
printable or Control character. If the user tries to set this value to more
than one character, i.e., a string, the setting is ignored and the previous
value is restored.

On non-virtual ports, a backward_key string can range from 1 to 16
characters.

banner

This asynchronous port parameter controls whether or not the Annex
banner and message-of-the-day display on CLI ports. A Y enables this
parameter, an N disables it. The default is Y.

This parameter has effect only at the CLI level.

Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters

broadcast_addr

This Annex parameter defines the IP address for Annex broadcasts. It is
recommended that you set a subnet broadcast address, if possible. In this
case, you set the subnet portion of the broadcast address to match the
Annex subnet address, as determined by the Annex subnet mask, and you
set the host portion of the broadcast address to all one-bits. For example,
if the Annex subnet address is 132.254.9.0, and the Annex subnet mask
is 255.255.255.252, you should set the broadcast address to 132.254.9.3.
T o calculate this, subtract the subnet mask from 255.255.255.255. Thus,
in the previous example, you subtract 255.255.255.252 from

255.255.255.255 to arrive at 0.0.0.3.
If your network is not subnetted, you can specify a network broadcast

address. In this case, you set the network portion of the broadcast address
to match the Annex network address, as determined by the intrinsic mask
for the network class. And you set the host portion of the broadcast
address to all 1-bits.

Finally , you can set a limited broadcast address of 255.255.255.255 that
reaches all nodes on the subnet. However, if you have more than one
subnet on the same physical cable, the Annex will broadcast to all nodes
on all of the subnets. This can be troublesome if some of the subnets or
nodes do not recognize the broadcast.

The default for broadcast _addr is 0.0.0.0, which Annex RIP routing
does not support (because most hosts do not recognize it).

broadcast_direction

This asynchronous port parameter defines the direction in which an
administrative broadcast message is sent on a port. The options are

network or port; the default is port. This parameter is valid only for a
slave port (defined by the mode parameter).

If you specify network, the Annex sends administrative broadcast
messages out the network side of the connection to the initiator. If you
specify port, the Annex sends broadcast messages out the port side of
the connection.

bypass

Book C

This T1 parameter is used to remove the T1 engine from the network.
When bypass is set to Y, the T1 engine is off-line and the T1 Network
Interface (T1NI) and the T1 Drop and Insert Interface (T1DII) are
physically isolated from the T1 engine. When bypass is set to Y, the T1
engine has no effect on the T1 circuit. When bypass is set to N, the T1
engine is attached to both the T1NI and the T1DII. The default is Y.

chap_auth_name

This Annex parameter defines the character string that is used as theName
field entry when issuing a CHAPchallenge o ver a PPP link. The minimum
string length is one character and the maximum string length is 16
characters; the default is chap.

Change the default value:

• If you want the remote end of the PPP link to pick a secret
token that depends on the received name.

• If you want to achieve the highest level of security.

char_erase

When this asynchronous port parameter is enabled, the Annex echoes
both the character erase and the word erase characters for a video
terminal; i.e., the previous character (or word) looks as if it has been
erased. A Y enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is Y.

When char_erase is disabled, the Annex echoes the erase characters for
a hard-copy terminal. It echoes the first erase character as a “\” followed
by the deleted character. Each additional use of the erase character deletes
and displays another character. The first character typed (other than the
erase character) echoes a “/” and the character, e.g., typing
“asdf<Delete><Delete>

This parameter has effect only at the CLI level.

g” echoes as “asdf\fd/g.”

circuit_timer

This Annex parameter defines the time interval in tens of milliseconds
between the transmission of LAT packets (e.g., if you enter

9, the time

interval will be 90 milliseconds). Allowable values range from 1 to 25.
The default value is 8 (80 milliseconds).

cli_imask7

When this asynchronous port parameter is enabled, the Annex masks CLI
input to seven bits. The Annex masks input only at the CLI. When
cli_imask7 is disabled, the Annex expects eight-bit ASCII input. A Y
enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is Y.

cli_inactivity

This asynchronous port parameter specifies the amount of time in minutes
that the Annex remains idle before disconnecting a CLI session from a
port. Unlike the inactivity_timer, this timer does not disconnect a CLI
session with active jobs. Allowable values range from 0 (or off)to255
minutes or immediate. The default is 0.

Entering0 disables the timer; entering255 causes the Annex to disconnect
as soon as it exits from its last job. Enteringimmediate causes the Annex
to hang up the port immediately after exiting the last job.

cli_interface

Book C

This asynchronous port parameter allows you to control the prompt that
appears for VMS or UNIX environments. Allowable values are vci and
uci. The default is uci.

When set to vci, the Local> prompt is displayed followed by the
Username> prompt; the uci setting pro vides a standard UNIX interface
(with prompts defined by the cli_prompt and prompt parameters).

cli_prompt

This Annex parameter defines the Annex prompt for all CLI users. This
parameter uses formatting codes consisting of the percent character (%)
and a single lowercase letter. You can combine up to 16 of these codes
(e.g., %a%c). You can also enter text that will appear in the prompt as
long as the entry as a whole does not exceed 32 characters. The default
prompt is %a%c (the string annex:). Table C-21 lists the formatting
codes.

see Dedicated Ports on page A-62.

default_zone_list

Book C

If port 5B (rlogin) is selected, the Annex uses BSD rlogin. If a port in
the 7000 to 7999 range is selected, the Annex uses TCP. Otherwise,
the Annex uses telnet.

This Annex parameter contains the zone list that is sent to AppleTalk
clients in case of an ACP failure. The string size ranges from 1 to 100
characters. You must use spaces to separate zone names (e.g., general
engineering lab). To escape embedded spaces within a zone name, use
the backslash (\) character. If you do not set this parameter, the Annex
provides the network zone list. The default is a null string ("").

default_session_mode

dhcp_broadcast

This Annex parameter enables and disables the use of DHCP broadcast
messages; a DHCP proxy client will use it to determine if it can generate
DHCP broadcast messages as a means of “discovering” a DHCP server.
The options for the parameter are Y or N, N being the default (i.e., the
broadcast of DHCP messages is disabled). dhcp_broadcast functions
consistently with all other broadcast parameters defined in the system.

disabled_modules

This Annex parameter allows you to disable indi vidual software modules
to free memory space. If you enter more than one module, separate
module names using commas. Valid options are admin, atalk, dialout,

edit,fingerd, ftpd, ipx,lat, nameserver, ppp,slip,snmp,tn3270,tstty ,
vci, all, ornone. The default is vci (disables the Annex VMS interface).

You should exercise extreme caution when disabling modules:

• Entering a null string ("") sets this parameter to its default
value.

•Ifdisabled_modules is set to a value other than none and
server_capability includes the operational image, no
modules are disabled; a syslog message announces this
override.

• The vci option disables the Annex interface for VMS
environments along with the following commands:

backwards, change, clear, crash, define, disconnect,
forwardlis, forward, list, logout, resume, set, show.

forwarding_count

This asynchronous port parameter controls Annex port behavior for
received characters. When set to a number other than zero, the port does
not forward characters until it receives the specified number of characters.
When set to zero, the port uses the value in the forwarding_timer
parameter. Allowable values range from 0 to 255. The default is 0.

forwarding_timer

Book C

If you use both forwarding_count and forwarding_timer, the
Annex uses the value that occurs first.

Setting forwarding_count to one or forwarding_timer to zero may
have a severe effect on the network when heavy serial input occurs.

This asynchronous port parameter sets the amount of time in ten
millisecond (ms) intervals that can elapse before an Annex forwards
received data. If new data arrives before the timer expires, the Annex
resets the timer. Allo wable values range from0to255 or off. The default
is 5 (50 ms); if you set the value to 0, the Annex uses 5.

If you use both forwarding_count and forwarding_timer, the

lat_queue_max

This Annex parameter limits the number of HIC requests that the Annex
can queue. This parameter affects only the operation of HIC requests
received after changing the parameter’ s value and setting LA T . Allowable
values range from1 to 255 ornone (enteringnone sets the value to 255).
The default value is 4.

latb_enable

This asynchronous port parameter enables the Annex to decode a LAT
hosts’ s data-b packet. Data-b packets change certain asynchronous port
parameters (see your LAT host’s documentation for more details). A Y
enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is N.

Book C

If latb_enable is set to Y and the LAT host sends a data-b slot
message requesting that flow control (XON/XOFF) be turned off, the
Annex turns off flo w control and passes XON/XOFF characters to the
host. This scenario can adversely affect both XON/XOFF and the
cursor keys on the terminal.

line_erase

This asynchronous port parameter allows an Annex to echo line erase for
a video terminal. When enabled, the Annex erases all characters on the
line and moves the cursor back to the beginning of the line. When
disabled, the Annex echoes the line erase character for hard-copy
terminals, making the deleted line visible and positioning the print head
at the beginning of the next line. The line erase occurs only at the CLI

required if the preferred load or dump host is on a different network or
subnet than the Annex. The default is 0.0.0.0 (no gateway).

load_dump_sequence

This Annex parameter specifies available network interfaces (Ethernet,
SLIP, or self) and the order in which they are used for a down-line load
or an up-line dump. Y ou can list more than one interface by using commas
to separate interface names. Table C-24 describes the valid options.

Table C-24. Valid Options for the load_dump_sequence Parameter

Option Description

net For use with a local area network. This is the default value.
slnn For use with a SLIP line, where nn is the number of the serial port.
self Instructs the Annex to boot its image from the Flash ROMs. Since

the Annex cannot dump back to itself, when booting via self, always
have a secondary load/dump interface by setting
load_dump_sequence to self,net or self,slnn.

local_address

This asynchronous port parameter defines the IP address for the
asynchronous port on the Annex side of a link. This IP address is used
whenever SLIP or PPP is in ef fect for the port (for example, because the

mode parameter is set to slip or ppp, or because the mode is set to
auto_detect and SLIP or PPP is detected). The default is 0.0.0.0.

location

This asynchronous port parameter defines an asynchronous port location
or description that displays with the CLI who command. The string size
ranges from 0 to 16 characters. The default is a null string ("").

long_break

This asynchronous port parameter enables an Annex to return a user to
the CLI prompt after receiving a break signal of more than two seconds.
When disabled, the Annex passes the break to the local application. A Y
enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is Y.

loose_source_route

This Annex parameter controls the Loose Source Routing protocol which
defines a sequence of IP addresses that a datagram must follow. A Y
enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is Y.

When enabled, The Annex forwards all IP packets that have the Loose
Source Routing and Recor doption set. The Annex forwards all IP packets
that have the Strict Sour ce Routing and Recordoption set only if the next
routing address is directly reachable by the Annex. Otherwise, the Annex
drops these packets and sends an ICMP type Destination Unreachable
message with a code of Source Route Failed.

Book C

Book C-72

When disabled, the Annex will not forward any IP packets that ha ve the
Strict Source Routing and Record or Loose Source Routing and Record
options set. The Annex accepts these packets only if the Annex itself is
the ultimate destination. If the packets are not addressed to the Annex,
they are dropped and the Annex sends an ICMP type Destination
Unreachable message with a code of Source Route Failed will to the
originator.

Loose source routing can pose a security risk if you use filters on your
network router. If you are concerned with security, set this parameter
to N.

max_vcli

This Annex parameter determines the maximum number of virtual CLI
connections the Annex can create at a time. Allowable values are the
stringunlimited or a decimal number from0 to254. A value of0 prevents
any virtual CLI connections. The default is unlimited.

metric

This asynchronous port parameter defines the hop count to the remote
end of the asynchronous line when the mode parameter is set to slip or
ppp. Modify this parameter only if you want the Annex to use a route
other than the SLIP or PPP interfaces to the remote end. Allowable v alues
are 1 to 15. The default is 1.

min_unique_hostnames

This Annex parameter determines whether or not you can identify a host
in the host table by entering a minimal string rather than the full host
name. A Y enables minimum uniqueness, an N disables it. The default
is Y.

name_server_1

This Annex parameter defines the type of name service used with the
primary name server . When using this parameter, you must specify a host
using thepref_name1_addr . The options aredns, ien_116, ornone. The
default is none.

name_server_2

This Annex parameter defines the type of name service used with the
secondary name server . The service type specified with this parameter is
queried if the type specified with name_server_1 is not available. When
using this parameter, you must specify a host using pref_name2_addr.
The options are dns, ien_116, or none. The default is none.

nameserver_broadcast

This Annex parameter defines whether or not the Annex broadcasts a
name server request if the preferred name servers do not respond. A Y
enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is N.

need_dsr

This asynchronous port parameter allows an Annex to use the DSR (Data
Set Ready) signal to determine whether a device is attached to the
corresponding asynchronous line. The Annex will not allow connection
to a slave port and will not acti vate the CLI until the DSR signal is active.
If DSR is deactivated, the connection to a sla ve line is terminated and the
CLI is deactivated.

Remote Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIX

Book C-79

Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters

When disabled, the DSR signal is not required to connect to a slave line,
and DSR is not required to activate a CLI line (see Modem Signals on
page A-99 for details on using need_dsr in conjunction with modem
control). DSR is always considered active on ports that do not ha ve a DSR
signal (ports with partial modem control lines). A Y enables this
parameter, an N disables it. The default is N.

net_inactivity

This asynchronous port parameter defines the amount of time that
network protocols (e.g., SLIP, PPP , ARAP) running on the serial line can
remain inactive before the port is reset. Valid options are 0 to255; a zero
value indicates off. The default is 0 (off).

Book C

Use this parameter in conjunction with net_inactivity_units.

Since the accuracy of the inactivity timer is within five seconds, if
net_inactivity_units is set to seconds, we recommend using a value
for net_inactivity that is a multiple of five.

net_inactivity_units

This asynchronous port parameter defines the units of time used for the
port’ s inactivity timer . V alid options areminutes orseconds. The default
is minutes.

Use this parameter in conjunction with net_inactivity.

If you are using an ISDN line, it is important to set net_inactivity to a
small value, such as 30, and net_inactivity_units to seconds;
otherwise, you may incur high costs from your ISDN service
provider.

Book C-80

Remote Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIX

Book C

Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters

To set an inactivity timer of two minutes, set:

net_inactivity_units=minutes
net_inactivity=2

To set an inactivity timer of 30 seconds, set:

net_inactivity_units=seconds
net_inactivity=30

An inactivity timer can be set to the following combinations:
0 to 4 minutes 15 seconds (= 255 seconds) in 1 second intervals

0 to 4 hours 15 minutes (= 255 minutes) in 1 minute intervals

network_turnaround

This Annex parameter defines the approximate number of seconds that
an Annex waits for a response from a security server (an algorithm defines
the actual time which typically is longer than the defined value). This
parameter works only when the enable_security parameter is set to Y.
Allowable values range from 1 to 255. The default is 2.

Setting this parameter to a high number is not recommended unless a
large timeout value is required for contacting (for security) slo w hosts or
waiting for a slow host’s response to a security request.

newline_terminal

This asynchronous port parameter interprets carriage returns and line
feeds at the CLI level. When enabled, a line feed terminates both the input
and the output lines. When disabled, a carriage return or a line feed
terminates the input line and a carriage return followed by a line feed
terminates output lines. A Y enables this parameter, anN disables it. The
default is N.
