Applies only to an executor node whose type is AREA. Specifies the maximum number of routing hops allowable from the executor to any other level 2 routing node. You can specify a decimal value in the range 1 to 30. The default is 30.

Specifies the maximum amount of time allowed between routing updates on Ethernet circuits. When the timer expires before a routing update occurs, a routing update is forced. The routing update produces a routing configuration message for each adjacent node. You can specify a number in the range 1 to 65,535. The default is 40.

Specifies in bytes the size of the receive buffers, thereby controlling the maximum size of NSP message segments that can be received and forwarded. (The size includes protocol overhead down to and including the End Communication layer, but does not include the Data Link layer overhead.) This buffer size applies to all circuits known to the executor. Use a value up to a maximum of 65,535. The default value is equal to the value of the SEGMENT BUFFER SIZE, if specified; otherwise the default is 576.

Specifies a timer whose expiration causes a node counter logging event.

If you have OPER privilege on the local system, you can override the default access restriction specified in this parameter.

Specifies the number by which to multiply one-sixteenth of the estimated round trip delay to a node to set the retransmission timer to that node. Use a number up to a maximum of 255. If you do not set this parameter,the default value is 80.

Specifies the weight to apply to a new round-trip delay data point when updating the estimated round-trip delay to a node. Use a number in the range up to a maximum of 255. If you do not set this parameter, the default value is 5.

Specifies a text string that describes the executor node (for example, “VMS Host System”). The string can be a maximum of 32 characters. If it contains blanks or tabs, you must enclose the string in quotation marks. If you do not set this parameter, the default value is DECnet–VAX V5.n VMSV5.n.

Specifies the maximum duration of inactivity (no data in either direction) on a logical link before the node checks to see if the logical link still works. If you do not set this parameter, the default value is 60.

Note that proxy access characteristics established in the object database take preference over the proxy access characteristics established in the executor database.

Specifies the maximum amount of elapsed time between the time a connection is received for a process and the time that process accepts or rejects the connection. For very busy systems, use a value in the range of 45 to 60 seconds. Otherwise use a value of 30 seconds. The default value is 45.

Defines the largest node address and, consequently, the greatest number of nodes that can be addressed by the local node. Use as small a number as possible. The default value is 1023.

If you receive an “invalid value” error, you probably have not allocated enough nonpaged pool space. You must lower the MAXIMUM ADDRESS value or increase the VMS NPAGEDYN value. (Use the System Generation Utility to change the NPAGEDYN parameter.)

Applies only to an executor node whose type is AREA. Specifies the largest area number and, therefore, the greatest number of areas that can be known about by the executor node's Routing layer. You can specify a decimal value up to a maximum of 63. The default is 63.

Specifies the maximum total number of nonrouting nodes (end nodes) the executor node can have on its Ethernet circuits. Use a number up to a maximum of 65,535. The default value is 64.

Specifies the maximum total number of routers the executor node can have on its Ethernet circuits. Use a number up to a maximum of 65,535. The default value is 32.

Specifies the maximum number of buffers in the transmit buffer pool. DECnet normally allocates only what it needs. At minimum, use a value that is 15 times the square root of the number of lines. Increase this value if you experience congestion loss. The default value is 100.

Defines the maximum number of routing circuits that the local node can use. The number must be in the range 1 to 127. The default value is 16.

Specifies the maximum total path cost allowed from the local node to any node. The path cost is the sum of the circuit costs along a path between two nodes. Use as small a number as possible in the range of 1 to 1022. The default is 1022.

Specifies the maximum routing hops from the local node to any other reachable node. A hop is the logical distance over a circuit between two adjacent nodes. Use as small a number as possible in the range of 1 to 30, and be sure that this value is less than or equal to the MAXIMUM VISITS parameter. The default value is 30.

Specifies the maximum logical link count for the local node. A reasonable range for most networks is 25 to 50. The maximum value for MAXIMUMLINKS is 3885. The default value of MAXIMUM LINKS is 32.

Indicates the maximum number of equal cost paths to a given destination node among which the packet load may be split. The default value is 1.

Specifies the maximum number of nodes a message can visit before it is received by the destination node. Use a number in the range of the value of the MAXIMUM HOPS parameter to 63. You should specify a number that is twice the MAXIMUM HOPS value. The default value is 63.

Specifies the node name to be associated with the executor node identification. You can assign only one name to a node address or node identification.

Note that proxy access characteristics established in the object database take preference over the proxy access characteristics established in the executor database.

Specifies the timeout value for the elapsed time between the moment a connection is requested and the moment that connection is acknowledged by the destination node. A value in the range of 30 to 60 seconds is recommended. The default is 45.

Specifies the maximum number of bytes of nonpaged pool that DECnet will use for transmission over logical links. Use this parameter for multibuffering at the NSP level. The default value is 10000 bytes. For satellite communications, a value of 6000 or greater is recommended.

These parameters are not needed unless the PRIVILEGES parameter is used explicitly in the object database.

Defines the maximum number of times any given message (except a connect initiate message) will be retransmitted before the logical link is disconnected. If you do not set this parameter, the default value is 10.

Specifies the maximum amount of elapsed time before a routing update is forced on non-Ethernet circuits. The routing update produces a routing configuration message for each adjacent node. You can use a number up to a maximum of 65,535. If you do not set this parameter, the default value is 600.

Specifies in bytes the maximum size of transmit buffers, thereby controlling the maximum size NSP message segment that can be transmitted.(This value is the maximum size message the End Communications layer can transmit; it does not include Data Link layer overhead.) Use a value up to a maximum of 65,535. The default value is equal to the value of BUFFER SIZE, if specified; otherwise, the default is 576.

The SEGMENT BUFFER SIZE is always less than or equal to the BUFFER SIZE. The two values are normally equal but may differ to permit the network manager to alter buffer sizes on all nodes without interruption of service.

If you have OPER privilege, you can override the state value specified in this parameter.

Applies only to DLM circuits. Specifies a range of local DTE subaddresses that the Routing layer accepts as X.25 DLM calls. VAX P.S.I. routes all incoming X.25 calls within the specified subaddress range to the Routing layer to be handled as DLM calls.

The default depends upon the DECnet–VAX license registered. If the full function kit is installed, the default is ROUTING IV; if the end node kit is installed, the default (and only possible value) is NONROUTING IV.

A routing node has full routing capability. A nonrouting node (or end node) can deliver packets to or receive them from any node, but cannot route packets from other source nodes through to destination nodes.

An area node is a level 2 router that can route packets between areas.

Description

You can use the SET and DEFINE EXECUTOR commands to create or modify local node parameters, including certain parameters common to both the local and remote nodes. Refer to the VSI OpenVMS DECnet Networking Manual for a table of node parameters that indicates those used for the local node only and those common to the local and remote nodes.

Example

Format

Command Parameter

node-idnode-id"user password account"

The node-spec may be a logical name. You can override access control in a logical name by specifying access control information explicitly in the command.

Description

For this command, you must enter the command verb SET EXECUTOR followed by the NODE node-spec parameter. You can then enter the optional access control parameters in any order.

Also, if you have implemented area routing on your node and you specify a node address, you must use the area-number prefix with the node address. Refer to the following examples.

If the SET EXECUTOR NODE command fails, you must explicitly use the CLEAREXECUTOR NODE or the SET EXECUTOR NODE command with a different nodename or address; otherwise, NCP continues to try to establish a logical link to NML running on the first executor node named.

Command Parameters

Specifies in bytes the size of receive buffers for the specified line, thereby controlling the maximum size of NSP message segments that can be received from or forwarded to an adjacent node that has accepted the line buffer size. Use a value up to a maximum of 65,535. For Ethernet lines, a default value of 1498 bytes is provided. For all other types of line, the default is the executor BUFFER SIZE value (as specified in the SET EXECUTOR command).

You can use the line parameter BUFFER SIZE to increase the size of NSP messages for logical links over this line.

Specifies a timer whose expiration causes a line counter logging event. Specify a decimal integer up to a maximum of 65,535.

Applies only to DDCMP CONTROL lines. Specifies the number of milliseconds between polls of one of the sets of dead tributaries. The milliseconds value must be a decimal integer up to a maximum of 65,535. The default is 10,000 (10 seconds).

Applies only to DDCMP CONTROL lines. Defines the minimum number of milliseconds to delay between polls. This timer limits the effect of a very fast control station on slower tributaries. The milliseconds value must be a decimal integer up to a maximum of 65,535. If you do not set this parameter, there is no delay.

This parameter is supplied automatically for dynamic asynchronous DDCMP lines. The default is HANGUP ENABLED if the /HANGUP qualifier was specified for the DCL command SET TERMINAL, and HANGUP DISABLED if /NOHANGUP was specified.

Applies only to X.25 lines. Specifies the maximum delay before the X.25 software acknowledges successful receipt of data. If you do not specify this parameter, then the acknowledgment is sent immediately. If you specify a holdback timer, performance may be improved by allowing the acknowledgment to be included with a subsequent data message transmitted. This parameter cannot be set to a value larger than one half the value of the RETRANSMIT TIMER parameter.

The default code is DTE.

Applies only to asynchronous DDCMP lines. Specifies the speed of the line in baud. This parameter must be set to the same value on both sides of an asynchronous DDCMP connection.

Applies only to X.25 lines. Specifies the maximum size in bytes of the frame for the line. This value must be at least 5 bytes larger than the maximum packet size you specify in the SET CIRCUIT (for PVCs) or SET MODULE X25-PROTOCOL (for SVCs) command. Specify a value in the range 21 to 4103. By default, the size of the frame takes the value specified by the PROFILE parameter of SET MODULE X25-PROTOCOL commands. See the Public Network Information Guide manual for the network value of this parameter.

Applies only to X.25 lines. Specifies the maximum number of retransmissions of a frame on the specified line. Specify a value up to a maximum of 255.

See the Public Network Information Guide for the network value of this parameter.

Applies only to X.25 lines. Specifies the maximum number of frames for which outstanding acknowledgments are allowed. Specify a value up to a maximum of 127. By default, the outstanding frame value takes the value specified by the PROFILE parameter of the SET MODULE X25-PROTOCOL command. See the Public Network Information Guide for the network value of this parameter.

Applies only to X.25 lines. Specifies the network to which the line is connected. If only one network is set up, that network is the default. Otherwise, the NETWORK parameter is mandatory.

Specifies the length of the line's receive queue. Use a value in the range 1 to 32. A value in the range 2 to 4 is adequate for line speeds of less than 56 kilobits/second. Line speeds of 1 megabit/second may require eight or more buffers depending on the observed error rate. For X.25 lines, specify a value in the range 2 to 32. The default is 4, which is normally adequate for DUP, DPV, and DMF lines. However, note that KMX, KMY,and KMV lines can use 8 buffers.

Does not apply to Ethernet lines. For a DDCMP multipoint line,specifies the maximum amount of time allowed to elapse before a retransmission is necessary. This is the amount of time a control station will wait for a tributary to respond. The number of milliseconds must be a decimal integer up to a maximum of 65,535. The default value is the network default.

For an X.25 line, this parameter specifies the time before a frame is retransmitted. By default, the time takes the value specified in the PROFILE parameter of the SET MODULE X25-PROTOCOL command. See the Public Network Information Guide for the network value of this parameter. The RETRANSMIT TIMER cannot be set to a value smaller than twice the value of the HOLDBACK TIMER parameter (if specified).

Applies only to DDCMP CONTROL lines. Specifies the number of milliseconds between recalculation of tributary polling priorities. The number of milliseconds must be a decimal integer up to a maximum of 65,535. The default is 50.

Does not apply to X.25 lines. Specifies the maximum amount of time allowed to elapse before a receive request completes while performing service operations on a line. The default value is 4000 (4 seconds).

Applies only to DDCMP CONTROL lines. Defines the number of milliseconds that a tributary or half-duplex remote station is allowed to hold the line. The number of milliseconds must be a decimal integer up to a maximum of 65,535. The default is 1000 (1 second).

Applies only to DMR11 lines. Specifies the maximum number of DDCMP messages for which outstanding acknowledgments are allowed. Specify a value in the range 1 to 32. By default, the value for outstanding DDCMP messages is 7. To avoid excessive use of system memory, do not arbitrarily set this value higher than necessary.
