2.6 NOF Restrictions Based on Node Configuration

The DEFINE_NODE verb includes parameters that define the range of functions supported by a node. Several NOF verbs relate to optional functions that a node can or can not support; these verbs are valid only when issued to a node that supports the relevant functions.

This section summarizes the optional functions that affect which NOF verbs can be used. For more information about these functions, see DEFINE_NODE.

2.6.1 APPN End Node and LEN Node Restrictions

The SNAP-IX local node can be an APPN network node, an APPN branch network node, an APPN end node, or a LEN node.

The following NOF verbs are only valid at a network node, branch network node, or end node; the primary return code AP_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED is returned if you attempt to issue them at a LEN node.

The following NOF verbs are only valid at a network node or branch network node; the primary return code AP_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED is returned if you attempt to issue them at an end node or LEN node.

2.6.2 Multiple Domain Support (MDS) Restrictions

The local node can be run with or without Multiple Domain Support (MDS). The following NOF verbs are only valid at a node running with MDS; the primary return code AP_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED is returned if you attempt to issue them at a node without MDS.

2.6.3 PU Concentration and DLUR Restrictions

The local node can be run with or without support for PU concentration or DLUR or both.

The following NOF verbs are valid only if the node is running with PU concentration enabled; the primary return code AP_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED is returned if you attempt to issue them at a node without PU concentration.

The following NOF verbs are valid only if the node is running with DLUR enabled; the primary return code AP_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED is returned if you attempt to issue them at a node without DLUR.

The following NOF verbs are valid only if the node is running with PU concentration or DLUR or both enabled; the primary return code AP_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED is returned if you attempt to issue them at a node without either of these two functions.
