CL Command Reference - ADDIPSIFC
CL Command List > ADDIPSIFC Reference
Description:
The Add IP over SNA Interface (ADDIPSIFC) command is used to define AF_INET Sockets over SNA interfaces. An interface is an IP address by which this local host is known on the SNA transport. The interfaces defined by the ADDIPSIFC command are logical interfaces. They are not physical interfaces and they are not associated with any line description or network interface. There may be multiple AF_INET Sockets over SNA logical interfaces defined on a host.
Note: When an interface is added it is activated by default if AF_INET Sockets over SNA communications is active and the user issuing the ADDIPSIFC command is authorized to start AF_INET Sockets over SNA interfaces. A user must have authority to the Start IP over SNA Interface (STRIPSIFC) CL command to have the authority to start AF_INET Sockets over SNA interfaces. If the interface should not be active, use the End IP over SNA Interface (ENDIPSIFC) CL command to deactivate it.
Only eight (8) AF_INET sockets over SNA interfaces can be active on a single host. If the maximum number of interfaces are already active, the interface being added will not be started. If you want the interface started, you must first end one or more active interfaces using the End IP over SNA interfaces (ENDIPSIFC) CL command and then use the Start IP over SNA interfaces (STRIPSIFC) CL command to start the interface.
Restriction: The user must have *IOSYSCFG authority to use this command.
Examples:
ADDIPSIFC INTNETADR(กฏ9.5.1.248กฏ) SUBNETMASK(กฏ255.255.255.0กฏ)
This command designates an IP address for this local host on the SNA transport which is 9.5.1.248. The SUBNETMASK indicates that network 9 is subnetted using bytes 2 and 3 of the internet address as the subnetwork.
