Managing Your Access Server As a LAT Node Offering a
Service
Introduction
By default, once there is a service, the access server functions as a service node by
issuing multicast service announcements, which describe its available services to
access servers on the network. These announcements contain information about the
service node (such as its name and identification string) and about the available
services. A single multicast service announcement is entered at the interval indicated
by the multicast timer
Displaying Information About a Service
You can display information about services on the LAT network, including services
on your access server, using the SHOW/MONITOR/LIST SERVICES command.
To display information on the services offered by your access server, use the SHOW/
LIST SERVICES LOCAL command. To display information about a particular
service, use the SHOW/LIST SERVICE command followed by the service name. To
display information about all services, use the SHOW/LIST SERVICE ALL
command.
There are three types of information you can display about the service:
• Characteristics
The characteristics display is useful when you are changing operational and
permanent values with the SET/DEFINE/CHANGE SERVICE command.
• Status
You can obtain data on the operation of services by using the status display.
• Summary
The summary display gives you capsule data on the services offered on the
network or the local access server.
Displaying Services Characteristics
The LIST/SHOW/MONITOR SERVICES CHARACTERISTICS command
generates a display of information on values that you can modify with the SET/
DEFINE/CHANGE SERVICE command. With the LIST command, the
characteristics display is the default display for the SERVICES and the SERVICES
LOCAL entity specifications.
