The following commands enable you to configure, modify, and inquire on OSI-TCP/IP address pairs:
-
ADD NETWORK ADDRESS PAIR
-
DELETE NETWORK ADDRESS PAIR
-
NETWORK ADDRESS PAIR
-
OSITCP CONNECTION
For a complete description of each command, refer to the Networking Commands and Inquiries Help.
For more information about basic OSI commands, refer to the OSI Software Operations Guide.
| Note: | If you make any changes to your network using these commands, those changes are only in effect until the next initialization of your network. |
Mapping a TCP/IP Host's IP Address to Its OSI NSAP Address
For a local or remote TCP/IP host to run OSI applications, you must identify a pairing between the host's IP address (when configuring a destination host you can use a domain name in place of, or with, the destination host's IP address) and its NSAP address. To do so, issue the following commands:
-
When configuring a local host, enter one of the following commands at the system console:
NW ADD NETWORKADDRESSPAIR NSAPADDRESS = <NSAP address> TO IPADDRESS = <IP address>
NW ADD NETWORKADDRESSPAIR NSAPADDRESS = <NSAP address> TO IPADDRESS = <IP address> DOMAINNAME = <domain name>
The variables are described as follows.
|
Variable |
Description |
|---|---|
|
<NSAP address> |
The OSI NSAP address configured for the local host. |
|
<IP address> |
The TCP/IP IP address configured for the local host. |
|
<domain name> Optional |
The TCP/IP domain name configured for the local host. This value must be entered enclosed in double quotation marks (") when entered as part of the command syntax. |
-
When configuring a remote host, enter one of the following commands at the system console:
NW ADD NETWORKADDRESSPAIR NSAPADDRESS = <NSAP address> TO IPADDRESS = <IP address>
NW ADD NETWORKADDRESSPAIR NSAPADDRESS = <NSAP address> TO IPADDRESS = <IP address> DOMAINNAME = <domain name>
NW ADD NETWORKADDRESSPAIR NSAPADDRESS = <NSAP address> TO DOMAINNAME = <domain name>
| Note: | If the local TCP/IP host in your network is configured with multiple network paths (multiple IP addresses), you might want to issue one of the following commands as a means of controlling the specific outbound connection (network path) that will be used by the local host when communicating with the remote host. |
NW ADD NETWORKADDRESSPAIR NSAPADDRESS = <NSAP address> TO IPADDRESS = <IP address> DOMAINNAME = <domain name> LOCALIPADDRESS = <local IP address>
NW ADD NETWORKADDRESSPAIR NSAPADDRESS = <NSAP address> TO DOMAINNAME = <domain name> LOCALIPADDRESS = <local IP address>
The variables are described as follows.
|
Variable |
Description |
|---|---|
|
<NSAP address> |
The OSI NSAP address configured for the remote host. |
|
<IP address> |
The TCP/IP IP address configured for the remote host. |
|
<domain name> |
The TCP/IP domain name configured for the remote host. This value must be entered enclosed in double quotation marks (") when entered as part of the command syntax. |
|
<local IP address> |
The TCP/IP IP address of the local host that identifies the outbound connection you want the local host to use in communication with the remote host. |
If the command is successful, the system responds with the following response:
NETWORK ADDRESS PAIRING ADDED
Deleting the Mapping Between an OSI-TCP/IP Address Pair
Use the DELETE NETWORK ADDRESS PAIR command to delete a previously configured OSI‑TCP/IP address pair. To delete an OSI-TCP/IP address pair, issue one of the following commands at the system console:
-
To delete all the OSI-TCP/IP address pairs configured in your network, issue the following command at the system console:
NW DELETE NETWORKADDRESSPAIR *ALL
-
There are many variations of the command syntax that are acceptable when you have a specific OSI-TCP/IP address pair that you want to delete from the network. For a complete syntax diagram illustrating all of your options, refer to the Networking Commands and Inquiries Help.
The following table lists several command syntax options that are available for deleting a specific OSI-TCP/IP address pair.
|

Issue this command at the system console . . . |
|---|---|
|
All OSI-TCP/IP address pairings associated with a specific NSAP address |
NW DELETE NETWORKADDRESSPAIR NSAPA = <NSAP address> TO *ALL |
|
An OSI-TCP/IP address pair associated with a specific NSAP address and domain name |
NW DELETE NETWORKADDRESSPAIR NSAPA = <NSAP address> TO DOMAINNAME = <domain name> |
|
All OSI-TCP/IP address pairings associated with a specific IP address |
NW DELETE NETWORKADDRESSPAIR IPADDRESS = <IP address> TO *ALL |
