Other SNA Transport Functions Provided

Besides tracing, SNA Transport also provides these basic services through the MPE command interpreter:

Starting and stopping an SNA node (see Chapter 5 "SNA Link Troubleshooting" and Chapter 6 "MPE Commands")
Session and link status (see Chapter 6 "MPE Commands")
Software version listing (see Chapter 6 "MPE Commands")

These basic services are the responsibility of the node manager, and node manager (NM) capability is required to use the MPE commands for them.
