TDC


Use the TDC subtab to view and manage the Target Address Resolution Protocol (TARP) data cache, known as the TDC. The TDC facilitates TARP processing by storing a list of TID-to-NSAP mappings.

Item

Description

TID

Displays the TID of the originating NE.

NSAP/NET

Displays the NSAP of the originating NE.

Type

Indicates how the TARP TDC entry was created:

  • Dynamic-The entry was created through the TARP propagation process.

  • Static-The entry was manually created. It is a static entry.

TID to NSAP

Displays the TID to NSAP dialog box, which allows you to query the network for an NSAP that matches a particular TID. If TARP finds the TID in its TDC it returns the matching NSAP. If not, TARP sends protocol data units (PDUs) across the network. Replies will return to the TDC later, and a check TDC later message is displayed. The TID to NSAP function is not available if the TARP data cache is not enabled on the Provisioning > OSI > TARP subtab.

Flush Dynamic Entries

Deletes all dynamically created TDC entries.

Refresh
