Chapter 9 Error Codes

This chapter contains a summary of error codes returned by the NLI programming interface.

9.1 Originator and Reason Tables

The following tables list the OSI error codes defined in <netx25/x25_proto.h>.

To identify the originator in N_RI and N_DI messages:

NS_USER 1

NS_PROVIDER 2

To specify the reason when the originator is the Network Service provider in N_DI messages:

Table 9-1 Reason when Originator is NS Provider

Code	Value
NS_GENERIC	0xE0
NS_DTRANSIENT	0xE1
NS_DPERMANENT	0xE2
NS_TUNSPECIFIED	0xE3
NS_PUNSPECIFIED	0xE4
NS_QOSNATRANSIENT	0xE5
NS_QOSNAPERMANENT	0xE6
NS_NSAPTUNREACHABLE	0xE7
NS_NSAPPUNREACHABLE	0xE8
NS_NSAPPUNKNOWN	0xEB

To specify the reason when the originator is the Network Service user in N_DI messages:

Table 9-2 Reason when Originator is NS User

Code	Value
NU_GENERIC	0xF0
NU_DNORMAL	0xF1
NU_DABNORMAL	0xF2
NU_DINCOMPUSERDATA	0xF3
NU_TRANSIENT	0xF4
NU_PERMANENT	0xF5
NU_QOSNATRANSIENT	0xF6
NU_QOSNAPERMANENT	0xF7
NU_INCOMPUSERDATA	0xF8
NU_BADPROTID	0xF9

To specify the reason when the originator is the Network Service provider in N_RI messages:

NS_RUNSPECIFIED 0xE9

NS_RCONGESTION 0xEA

To specify the reason when the originator is the Network Service user in N_RI messages:

NU_RESYNC 0xFA

Note -

These codes are defined in ISO 8208 and are mapped from X.25 cause and diagnostic codes as described in ISO 8878.

9.2 Decoding Error Codes

You can decode the error codes listed in this chapter using the /opt/SUNWconn/x25/bin/x25diags utility. Enter x25diags followed by the hexadecimal value returned. For example:

hostname% x25diags E4
diag is 228 (decimal),  E4 (hexa) :

OSI Network service problem :                                             
 Connection rejection -- reason unspecified (permanent condition)
