4.282 ent-as
Use this command to create an Application Server (AS) as a logical entity to serve a specific routing key. This command enters a new AS into the AS table and assigns an M3UA or SUA SCTP association to it, or assigns an M3UA or SUA SCTP association to an existing AS.
Example
ent-as:asname=asx:aname=asxp1
Dependencies
The specified aname must exist in the IPAPSOCK table.
The adapter layer for each association assigned to the AS must be defined.
SUA Application Servers must have routing keys with assigned routing contexts.
The service indicator must be si=3 for routing keys that are associated with SUA Application Servers.
The adapter layer must be the same for all M3UA/SUA associations assigned to the AS.
The value specified for the aname parameter cannot refer to an IPLIMx or IPSG association.
The asname=default parameter cannot be specified.
An association can be assigned to a maximum of 50 application servers.
Notes
The DCM card has 16 MB of memory. Socket/association limits are based on card memory as is the ratio of associations to sockets. This ratio, known as the trade ratio, defines the number of sockets that are equivalent to one association with respect to memory consumption.
By default the AS recovery timer value is set to 200 ms when an AS is entered. This value can be changed at any time using the chg-as command. The new timer value will be used the next time the AS enters the AS-Pending state.
The trade ratio states the quantity of associations to sockets that may be provisioned on a certain card, as follows:
Trade Ratio = a:s
Where:
a=association : s=socket
The maximum sockets/associations per DCM card are:
- Socket to Association Ratio—8:1
- Max Sockets—50
- Max Associations—4
Output
ent-as:asame=asx:aname=asxp1
