FRSESET definition statement

The FRSESET (frame-relay switching equipment set) definition statement contains the pairings of the frame relay PUs for a frame relay line.

In a FRSESET statement, you specify the primary frame relay PU partners and their optional backups in the SUBPORTS operand. There are a minimum of two and a maximum of four PUs in a FRSESET definition statement. The FRELAY operand on the GROUP definition statement indicates the type of frame relay group.

The following FRSESET rules are validated by VTAM®:
  • The name on the FRSESET is required and unique in a domain. If not, a message is issued stating that a duplicate resource has been defined.
  • Each puname represents a PU type 1. If not, a message is issued stating the puname is defined incorrectly.
  • Each puname listed in SUBPORTS was defined in this NCP source prior to this FRSESET. If the puname has not been defined previously, a message is issued stating an undefined resource has been used in the FRSESET statement.
  • The required punames are coded. If not, a message is issued stating that a required parameter has been specified on the FRSESET statement.
  • Each puname coded on the SUBPORTS operand must be distinct within SUBPORTS and across FRSESET definition statements. If punames in SUBPORTS are not distinct, a message is issued stating a duplicate resource has been used. If a puname has been used in more than one FRSESET, a message is issued stating that a duplicate resource has been used.
  • None of the punames in SUBPORTS is owned by different VTAMs. If so, a message is issued stating that the resource is not owned by this VTAM.
  • None of the PUs in SUBPORTS is the first PU under a LINE. The first PU under a LINE is the local management interface (LMI). If a PU in SUBPORTS is the LMI, a message is issued stating that a resource used in the definition is not valid.
  • Each puname in the source is in a FRSESET. If the puname is defined as a frame-relay PU and is not in a FRSESET, a message is issued identifying that the PU cannot be processed.
The following rule is not validated by VTAM, but is validated by NCP, which sends a sense code if the rule is not followed:
  • Each puname in SUBPORTS is on a distinct frame-relay line.
