Creates an instance of an HDLC link entity, which is associated with a port of the supporting physical layer module. It contains attributes common to local HDLC operations for all logical stations on that line. create [node node-id] hdlc - link link-name [linktype link-type] [,profile latin1string] Link-name is a simplename that identifies this HDLC link instance. The Linktype and Profile arguments are optional. Example: create hdlc link hdlc-0 Select logical_station for information on creating hdlc link logical station subentities.
1 – linktype
The optional Linktype argument specifies the operational mode of the HDLC link, determining how the logical station operates. This value is negotiated with the remote station. This argument determines the value of the link type characteristic. balanced The logical station operates in asynchronous response balanced mode. This is the default value of the argument. primary The logical station is the primary and operates in normal response mode. secondary The logical station is a secondary and operates in normal response mode. Example: create hdlc link hdlc-0 linktype primary
2 – profile
The optional Profile argument specifies a string of information that can be used when the HDLC protocol is dependent on network subscription time commitments pertinent to the Data Link layer. When specified, the values of some link characteristics may be overridden. This argument determines the value of the profile characteristic. The default value of this argument is a null string, meaning that no profile is used.
3 – logical_station
Creates an instance of the HDLC link logical station entity, which controls the characteristics of an HDLC logical station. create [node node-id] hdlc link link-name - logical station station-name There is one station for each remote termination of a line associated with the HDLC link. The station-name is a simplename that identifies this HDLC link logical station instance. Example: create hdlc link hdlc-0 logical station hdlc-0
