3.5 Integrating an Existing TCP/IP Network

To further expand its services, Global Bank takes over a smaller bank that has an existing TCP/IP network. As a

result, the bank needs to integrate that TCP/IP network into Global Bank’s corporate network, as shown in Figure

3–5,

Mixed SNA and TCP/IP Network.

The SNAplus2 TN server functionality enables multiple TN3270 users to share a single link to the host. Existing

applications can run unchanged on the TCP/IP network, while the TN3270 product enables users to access cor-

porate 3270 applications over the existing TCP/IP network. Thus, the SNAplus2 TN server functionality (or TN

server functionality available on the host) enables SNA and TCP/IP applications to co-exist in the same network.

3.6 Integrating a Windows-Based PC Network

Global Bank acquires a subsidiary that has an existing Windows-based PC network. As a result, the Windows-based

PC network needs to be integrated into Global Bank’s corporate network.
