# Node Parameters

The following tables list parameters supported for the cfnode command.

## Required Node Parameters

Note: If any of the required parameters is not defined and the prompt parameter is set to No, the cfnode command fails.

The following table lists the required parameters for the cfnode command.

Parameter (Alternate Specification) | Description
--- | ---
HostName (h) | Defines the IP name or IP address of the node. This value can be either the IP address of the remote machine or a resolvable host name or DNS entry. Multiple IP names or IP address can be defined, separated by a comma. When more than one IP name or IP address is defined, the following rules apply: For initiator requests (i.e. cfsend/cfrecv), only the first IP Name or IP Address is used. For responder requests, when the Platform Server responder is checking for a match on the Node name, each IP name or IP address is checked for a match. This feature is typically used when you want to use the same node and responder profile for incoming request from multiple platform servers.
Node (n) | Defines the node name you want to add or update to the cfnode.cfg file. The maximum length of the defined value is 256 characters, and it cannot contain any spaces. Note: The node name is not case sensitive.
Port (p) | Defines the port number on which the remote node is listening for incoming transfer requests.
SystemType (s) | Defines the system type of the node. The valid values are SUNOS/SOLARIS, AIX, LINUX, Windows, IBMi, z/OS, Command_Center, and other system types.

## Optional Node Parameters

Note: The cfnode command does not require any of the optional parameters to be defined if the prompt parameter is set to No.

The following table lists the optional parameters for the cfnode command.

Parameter (Alternate Specification) | Description
--- | ---
Action (a) | Defines the action you want to take with the specified node. The valid values are Delete, List or Add.
CommandSupport (ccc) | Defines the actions that the TIBCO MFT Command Center can perform on this node. The valid values are: ALL: NODE, PROFILE, AUDIT, PING and TRANSFER are supported on this node. NONE: no Internet Server function is supported on this node. This is the default value. AUDIT: requests that access to the TIBCO MFT Platform Server audit file are supported on this node. NODE: node list and update functions are supported on this node. PING: the TIBCO MFT Platform Server fusping request is supported on this node. PROFILE: profile list and update functions are supported on this node. TRANSFER: TIBCO MFT Command Center transfer function that initiates file transfers is supported on this node.
Compression (c) | Defines the compression type for all transfers with this node. The valid values are: LZ: Limpel-Zev (LZ) compression. RLE: Run Length Encoding (RLE) compression. ZLIB: ZLIB1 through ZLIB9. NO: no default compression. NEVER: never uses compression. Note: NEVER is the only value that cannot be overridden by cfsend or cfrecv on the command line.
CRC | Defines whether a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is performed for transfers initiated to this node. The valid values are: Yes: performs CRC checking. No: bypasses CRC checking. The default value is No.
Description (d) | Defines a text description of the node. The maximum length of the defined value is 256 characters. If the description contains spaces, then the description must be encapsulated in double quotation marks.
Encrypt (e) | Defines the encryption type for all transfers with this node. The valid values are: DES: 56-bit encryption. 3DES: triple DES, 112-bit encryption. BF: Blow Fish encryption, 56-bit encryption. BFL: Blow Fish Long, 128-bit encryption. RIJN(AES): AES/Rijndael, 256-bit encryption. AES128: 128-bit encryption. NO: no encryption. NEVER: never uses encryption. Note: NEVER is the only value that cannot be overridden by cfsend or cfrecv on the command line. AES128 is not supported for products with earlier versions.
LocalCTFile (lct) | Defines the name of the local conversion table (local translation file). This parameter is used to translate data on the local side. The valid values are filename or No. The maximum length of the defined value is 16 characters.
NetMask (net) | Defines the netmask that is applied to the remote IP address. This parameter is defined so that you can use any IP in the specified subnet.
NetMask6 (net6) | Defines the netmask that is applied to the remote IPv6 address. The valid values are a number between 8 and 128 and a multiple of 8.
Prompt | Defines whether to activate the cfnode command to an interactive mode. The valid values are: Yes: cfnode prompts the user for all information required to create a node. This is the default value. No: cfnode does not prompt the user for all information required to create a node.
RemoteCTFile (rct) | Defines the name of the remote conversion table (remote translation file). This parameter is used to translate the data remotely. Valid values are filename and No. The maximum length of the defined value is 16 characters.
Responder (r) | Defines whether to use a responder profile for this node. The valid values are: Yes: Check the responder profiles and do not try to log on with the remote user ID and password that are sent with the transfer request. No: Not check the responder profiles at all and try to log on with the remote user ID and password that are sent with the transfer request. Dual | D: Substitute a real user ID when cfrprofile exists and a match is found. If there is no match found, TIBCO MFT Platform Server tries to log on with the remote user ID and password sent with the transfer request. Do not define:
Security (sl) | Defines the security policy this node complies with. The valid values are: Default: Follow what is defined for the Security Policy parameter in the $CFROOT/config/config.txt file. HIPAA: Comply with HIPAA standards. None: Not comply with any security policy.
SSL | Defines whether SSL is used for TCP/IP communications. The SSL parameter is not required if the prompt parameter is set to No. For more information, see SSL Certificates Setup.
Verify (v) | Defines whether a remote verified user can log on to TIBCO MFT Platform Server using only the remote user ID without a password. TIBCO MFT Platform Server recognizes the client as verified if the client sends an internal password inside the password field. To enable this feature, the user on the client side has to provide the following parameters: Userid: *VER Password: this field must be left blank.
/? or -? | Displays online help for the cfnode command.
