Table C2-10. Valid Options for the mode Parameter

Option Description
adaptive Allows a port to have both slave and cli capabilities. If a
connection is initiated on the serial side, the port enters cli
mode; if a connection is initiated via a port server, the port
enters slave mode.
arap Allows a port to perform as a network interface
using ARAP.
auto_adapt Allows a port to detect whether packets are incoming or
outgoing. For incoming packets, the port behaves as if it
were in auto_detect mode. For outgoing packets, it
operates in slave mode.
auto_detect Allows a port to identify an incoming packet's protocol
and to convert to IPX, PPP, ARAP or CLI.
cli Allows a port connected to a terminal or incoming modem
access to the CLI. The CLI provides access to the network
and connections to other hosts via the telnet, connect,
rlogin and tn3270 commands.
The tn3270 command is available only if the option_key
parameter is set to the correct value for the Model 5390
server.
connect Allows a port to communicate with a LAT host via the
connect command. This option works with the
dedicated_arguments parameter.
dedicated Allows a port to communicate only with one specific host
defined using the dedicated_address and dedicated_port
parameters. Communication can be via telnet or rlogin,
but not via tn3270 or connect.
ipx Allows dial-in Novell access.
ndp Allows Novell dial-in, dial-out, and routing.
ppp Allows a port to perform as a network interface using PPP.
IP packets are encapsulated by PPP.
