Features

Perform these optional tasks to configure miscellaneous features of an
ISO CLNS network:

dresses

Specify Shortcut NSAP Addresses

You can define a name-to-NSAP address mapping. This name can
then be used in place of typing the long set of numbers associated with
an NSAP address.

In global configuration mode, define a name-to-NSAP address map-
ping:

clns host

name nsap

The assigned NSAP name is displayed, where applicable, in

show

and

debug

EXEC commands. However, some effects and requirements

are associated with using names to represent NETs and NSAP ad
dresses.

The

clns host

global configuration command is generated after all

other CLNS commands when the configuration file is parsed. As a re-
sult, you cannot edit the nonvolatile random access memory
(NVRAM) version of the configuration to specifically change the ad-
dress defined in the original

clns host

command. You must spe-

cifically change any commands that refer to the original address. This
affects all commands that accept names.

The commands that are affected by these requirements include:

z

net

(router configuration command

z

clns is-neighbor

(interface configuration command)

z

clns es-neighbor

(interface configuration command)

z

clns route

(global configuration command)
