Supplied parameters are:

description

A text string describing the default parameters. SNAP-IX uses this string for information only. It is stored in the node's configuration file and returned on the query_defaults command.

mode_name

Name of the default mode. If an application specifies an unrecognized mode name when attempting to start a session, the parameters from this mode are used as a default definition for the unrecognized mode.

This mode must be either an SNA-defined mode or a mode defined by a previous define_mode command. For more information about SNA-defined modes, refer to the SNAP-IX Administration Guide. The name is a type-A character string starting with a letter.

implicit_plu_forbidden

Specifies whether SNAP-IX puts implicit definitions in place for unknown partner LUs. Possible values are:

YES

SNAP-IX puts implicit definitions in place for unknown partner LUs.

NO

SNAP-IX does not put implicit definitions in place for unknown partner LUs.

specific_security_codes

Specifies whether SNAP-IX uses specific sense codes on a security authentication or authorization failure. Specific sense codes are only returned to those partner LUs which have reported support for them on the session. Possible values are:

YES

SNAP-IX uses specific sense codes.

NO

SNAP-IX does not use specific sense codes.

limited_timeout

Specifies the timeout after which free limited-resource conwinner sessions are deactivated. Specify a value in the range 0- 65,535 seconds.

2.18.2 Returned Parameters

No parameters are returned by SNAP-IX when this command executes successfully.

2.18.3 Error Return Codes

If the command cannot be executed, SNAP-IX returns a primary return code to indicate the type of error and a secondary return code to provide specific details about the reason for unsuccessful execution.
