 » Index

The query_cn command returns information about adjacent connection networks. This command can be used to obtain information about a specific connection network or about multiple connection networks, depending on the options used.

The command is valid only at an end node; it is not valid at a LEN node.

Supplied Parameters

Parameter name      Type           Length      Default
[query_cn]
num_entries decimal 1
list_options constant LIST_INCLUSIVE
fqcn_name character 17 (null string)

Supplied parameters are:

num_entries

Maximum number of CNs for which data should be returned. You can specify 1 to return data for a specific CN, a number greater than 1 to return data for multiple CNs, or 0 (zero) to return data for all CNs.

list_options

The position in the list of CNs from which SNAplus2 begins to return data.

Possible values are:

FIRST_IN_LIST

Start at the first entry in the list

LIST_INCLUSIVE

Start at the entry specified by the fqcn_name parameter

LIST_FROM_NEXT

Start at the entry immediately following the entry specified by the fqcn_name parameter

fqcn_name

Fully qualified name of the CN for which information is required, or the name to be used as an index into the list of CNs. This value is ignored if list_options is set to FIRST_IN_LIST. Specify 3-17 type-A characters consisting of a 1-8 character network name, followed by a period, followed by a 1-8 character CN name.

Returned Parameters

Parameter name           Type           Length
fqcn_name character 17
num_act_ports decimal
description character 31
num_ports decimal
effect_cap decimal
connect_cost decimal
byte_cost decimal
security constant
prop_delay constant
user_def_parm_1 decimal
user_def_parm_2 decimal
user_def_parm_3 decimal

If the command executes successfully, the following parameters are returned:

fqcn_name

Fully qualified name of the CN.

num_act_ports

The number of active ports on the connection network.

description

A text string describing the CN, as specified in the definition of the CN.

num_ports

The total number of ports on the connection network.

effect_cap

A decimal value representing the line speed in bits per second.

connect_cost

Cost per connect time.

byte_cost

Cost per byte.

security

Security level of the network. Possible values are:

SEC_NONSECURE

No security.

SEC_PUBLIC_SWITCHED_NETWORK

Data is transmitted over a public switched network.

SEC_UNDERGROUND_CABLE

Data is transmitted over secure underground cable.

SEC_SECURE_CONDUIT

Data is transmitted over a line in a secure conduit that is not guarded.

SEC_GUARDED_CONDUIT

Data is transmitted over a line in a conduit that is protected against physical tapping.

SEC_ENCRYPTED

Data is encrypted before transmission over the line.

SEC_GUARDED_RADIATION

Data is transmitted over a line that is protected against physical and radiation tapping.

prop_delay

Propagation delay (the time that a signal takes to travel the length of the link). Specify one of the following values, according to the type of link:

PROP_DELAY_MINIMUM

Minimum propagation delay.

PROP_DELAY_LAN

Delay is less than .5 microseconds (typical for a LAN).

PROP_DELAY_TELEPHONE

Delay is in the range .5-50 microseconds (typical for a telephone network).

PROP_DELAY_PKT_SWITCHED_NET

Delay is in the range 50-250 microseconds (typical for a packet-switched network).

PROP_DELAY_SATELLITE

Delay is greater than 250 microseconds (typical for a satellite link).

PROP_DELAY_MAXIMUM

Maximum propagation delay.

user_def_parm_1 through user_def_parm_3

User-defined parameters that you can use to include other characteristics not covered by the above parameters. Each of these parameters has a value in the range 0-255.

Error Return Codes

If the command cannot be executed, SNAplus2 returns a primary return code to indicate the type of error and a secondary return code to provide specific details about the reason for unsuccessful execution.

Parameter Check

If the command does not execute because of a parameter error, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:

primary_rc

PARAMETER_CHECK

secondary_rc

Possible values are:

INVALID_CN_NAME

The list_options parameter was set to LIST_INCLUSIVE to list all entries starting from the supplied name, but the value specified in the fqcn_name parameter was not valid.

State Check

No specific state errors, other than those listed in Appendix A “Common Return Codes from snapadmin Commands” occur for this command.

Function Not Supported

If the command does not execute because the node's configuration does not support it, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:

primary_rc

FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED

The local node is a LEN node. This command is valid only at an end node.

secondary_rc

(This parameter is not used.)

Other Conditions

Appendix A “Common Return Codes from snapadmin Commands” lists combinations of primary and secondary return codes that are common to all commands.
