Term | Definition |
Ports | Isis requires a set of three TCP/IP ports for communication. These are defined in the sites file. These ports may also be defined in the /etc/services file. The port definitions in the /etc/services file may be overridden through the use of the ISISPORT and ISISREMOTE environment variables. ISISPORT defines the UDP port that isis backbone sites use to communicate with each other and the TCP port that processes use to connect to the isis backbone. Thus ISISPORT defines two out of the three TCP/IP ports for running isis. Default value for ISISPORT is 2042, as registered by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). ISISREMOTE defines the UDP port used by processes to communicate to the isis backbone when no TCP ports are available. Specifying this field is necessary even though it is generally not used by Oracle Utilities Network Management System. Default value for ISISREMOTE is 2043, as registered with IANA. If ISISREMOTE is NOT provided it will default to $ISISPORT+1 via the nms-isis start startup script. |
Site | Each server node that runs the isis protocol for a given $ISISPORT is an isis backbone site. NMS only supports one site configurations, typically site = 00 |
protos | Protos is the name of the isis protocol process. |
