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

If NATIVE is not specified on the ADJCP statement or on the PU definition statement, the two nodes negotiate their subnet 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 subnet 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.

For transmission groups (TGs) between nodes, the value specified or negotiated for NATIVE must match. If a 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 TG, then the SSCP-SSCP session will also fail.
