Configuring The Node; Node Configuration Parameters - HP -UX SNAplus2 Administration Manual

Configuring the Node
The first step in configuring SNAplus2 on a system is to configure the
local node. Node configuration provides the basic information that the
node needs in order to participate in an APPN network. You must
configure the node before you can define connectivity or other resources
for the node.
If the node has already been configured, you must stop the node before
changing the node configuration.
To configure the node, use one of the following methods:
Motif administration program
Select Configure node parameters from the
Services menu on the Node window.
Command-line administration program
Issue the define_node command.
Advanced parameters for node configuration provide control over
sessions with undefined partner LUs, reporting of security failures,
SNMP support, and limited resource timeouts.
