Specifies whether this link station represents a connection to a native node.

Note: If the TRLE operand is coded, NATIVE is ignored. See TRLE for more information.

If NATIVE is not specified on either the ADJCP definition statement or on the PU definition statement, the two nodes negotiate their subnetwork affiliation during connection establishment.

If the NETIDs match, the connection defaults to a native connection.
If the NETIDs are different, the connection defaults to a nonnative connection.

No subnetwork negotiations will occur if NATIVE has been specified; in this case the value between the two nodes must match for connection to occur.

If you code NATIVE on both the ADJCP and PU definition statements, the values must match. If a transmission group (TG) is already active, subsequent TG activations must not have a specified or negotiated value for NATIVE that conflicts with the value of NATIVE for the active TG. If there is a conflict, the TG attempting activation is not allowed to become active. If the activation is for a virtual-route-based transmission group then the SSCP-SSCP session will also fail.
