Creates an instance of a routing circuit entity which represents a data link to another node, specified by the simple name circuit-name. create [node node-id] routing circuit circuit-name - type circuit-type The Type argument is required. Possible circuit-type values are: csma-cd - a broadcast circuit ddcmp - a DDCMP circuit fddi - an FDDI large packet circuit hdlc - an HDLC circuit x25 da - a dynamically allocated X.25 circuit x25 permanent - an X.25 permanent virtual circuit x25 static incoming - a static incoming X.25 circuit x25 static outgoing - a static outgoing X.25 circuit On OpenVMS for FDDI routing circuits, the type should only be fddi if large packet support is in use, otherwise the type should be csma-cd. Examples: create routing circuit fddi-1 type csma-cd create routing circuit fddi-1 type fddi ! for large packet support Select adjacency for information on creating routing circuit adjacency subentities. Select reachable_address for information on creating routing circuit reachable address subentities.
1 – Exception Messages
o invalid circuit type The specified circuit type is invalid. Argument: reason Reason why the circuit type is invalid. 1 A dynamically allocated X.25 circuit type is not permitted for a level 1 router. o maximum circuits exceeded An attempt has been made to create more than the maximum number of circuits allowed.
2 – adjacency
Creates an instance of a routing circuit adjacency. An adjacency describes a neighboring node that is accessible through a particular circuit. This create command is allowed only if the circuit is a csma-cd circuit and the type is L1router or L2router. create [node node-id] routing circuit circuit-name - adjacency adjacency-name, - endnode ids {id[,id...]}, - LAN address LAN-address [,data format string] The required Endnode IDs argument is a set of source system IDs. The required LAN Address argument is the Data Link address from which the adjacency receives end system hellos. The optional Data Format argument is the format of the reachable address.
3 – reachable_address
Creates a routing circuit reachable address entity instance which contains information about a manually entered address prefix accessible over that circuit. It exists only on L2 routers and end nodes. create [node node-id] routing circuit circuit-name - reachable address simple-name - address prefix address-prefix On an end system, the type may be "outbound" or (for a broadcast circuit only) "filter". A reachable address of type outbound behaves in a way similar to that on an L2 router except that the routing information is used to control the operation of the ES cache. A reachable address of type filter (for the broadcast circuit only) specifies the permitted LAN addresses of routers on the LAN that will be used by the reverse path cache algorithm. To switch between outbound and filter types, the reachable address must first be disabled. For either outbound or filter type, the mapping attribute should be set to manual because the default is X.121. The address prefix argument is required. It specifies the address prefix to which this reachable address corresponds. Example: create routing circuit csmacd-1 reachable address to-bulean - address prefix 49::4
3.1 – Exception Messages
o address prefix not unique A reachable address already exists with the specified address prefix. o invalid address prefix Specified address prefix has more than two digits, and does not correspond to a valid AFI. o non DA circuit A reachable address on an endnode can only be created on a DA circuit.
