In Figure 88:
1 Shows the connection to the MPS in the MSS.
2 Shows that the MPC in the 8270 MSS client is known and established.
With the show mpoa client command shown in Figure 88, we verified that the
Cisco MPC has discovered and is aware of the MPS and the 8270’sMPC.
Although it is not shown, the command show mpoa client cache verified that
a shortcut route to the 8270 MPC client was established after we started
pinging between the workstations.
4.3.4.3 MPC - IBM 8270 MSS Client
Now we will take a closer look at the MSS client in the 8270 switch. At the
moment the shortcut is established, it will be the MPC function in the MSS
client that has to do the fragmentation of the token frames. As can be seen
starting from Figure 89, the MPC is up and running. We are again using TALK
5, but this time at the MSS client. Using the commands MPC-BASE -> STATE
-> LIST-CONFIG, we can see:
