tnadvert

This command gives you the ability to manage transport advertisements for the IPX/SPX transport. You can list, read the attribute values of, create, modify, and delete advertisements.

For special cases, the IPX/SPX transport tnipx allows you to specify a static set of services for the IPX Service Advertisement Protocol (SAP) to advertise, regardless of whether you have enabled or disabled the NetWare realm.

Advertisement names, similar to service names, consist of two parts separated by a colon (:). A valid service name for the NetWare realm precedes the colon. A hexadecimal number--made up of digits and lowercase letters a through f, with no leading zeroes--that specifies the physical service type follows the colon. It has the same meaning as the type attribute of a service type object (see "tnstype""tnstype).

Usage:

tnadvert -M -n transport -d service:type -a fixed-socket=number
