1 – INCOMING
Specifies whether the local node is willing to accept incoming requests directed to the alias node identifier specified for the local node. The alias node identifier is described under the ALIAS NODE parameter. There are two options for ALIAS INCOMING: ENABLED Specifies that the local node will accept incoming connect requests directed to the alias node identifier. This is the default if an alias node identifier has been specified. DISABLED Specifies that the local node will not accept the incoming connect requests directed to the alias node identifier.
2 – MAXIMUM LINKS
Specifies the maximum number of logical links for the local node that can use the alias node identifier. The alias node identifier is described under the ALIAS NODE parameter. The maximum value for ALIAS MAXIMUM LINKS is 200. The default value is 32.
3 – NODE
Establishes a cluster alias node identifier for use by the local node. The node-id is a DECnet node identifier that can be either a node-name or a node-address. This alias permits the local node to be associated with a cluster node identifier common to some or all the nodes in a cluster, in addition to its own unique node-id. If this parameter is not specified, the local node is not associated with a cluster alias node identifier. If a node-name is to be used as the alias node-id, the node-name must previously have been defined in the database.
