difference between static and dynamic nsap address

[njia_1]

Hi everyone

I have been trying to find the answer for this for a while but no luck any help would be appreciated.

rx2660 in our model has OTS C.12 installed and here is the otsshownsaps command result
[mms32x /]# /opt/ots/bin/otsshownsaps

---------------------------------
Current local OTS NSaps:
---------------------------------
Nsap [ Alias ] [I/F Name ] Type
---------------------------------

CONS:
CLNS:
4700320080000000010100051001017316311401 lan2 static

rx2660 in our customer network, OTS C.12 installed as well and here is the otsshownsaps command result
esv30a /etc/opt/ots/conf]# /opt/ots/bin/otsshownsaps

---------------------------------
Current local OTS NSaps:
---------------------------------
Nsap [ Alias ] [I/F Name ] Type

CONS:
CLNS:
4700320080000000bb300f020000000000caed01 dynamic

and my question is why the hell the same command does not show the interface name on customer network and also it is dynamic, what is the difference between static and dynamic NSAP address ?

The only difference in the ots_subnet file is the subnet name and actual NSAP address

Hello,

There is actually a good reason:

Dynamic NSAPs are typically used for high
availability clusters running the ServiceGuard,
which automatically shares NSAPs when a node
or its network communications fail.
