Beneﬁts and Features

• Conﬁguring PCI Token Ring for SNA

SAM can be used to conﬁgure a PCI Token Ring adapter for use by SNA. When asked for

an IP address, enter any dummy IP address value from the private address space (for

example, 192.168.0.1) or any address in the following range can be used:

— 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

— 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

— 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

In future releases of SNAplus2, SAM may eliminate the need for entering these dummy

addresses while conﬁguring the Token Ring card on the system.

To remove the IP address conﬁgured on the Token Ring card, if necessary, edit the

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf ﬁle and comment out the section related to the lan interface

corresponding to the Token Ring adapter.

For example, if lan5 is the Token Ring adapter conﬁgured for SNA, edit the

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf ﬁle to comment out all entries related to lan5 as follows:

# IP_ADDRESS[5]=192.168.0.1

# SUBNET_MASK[5]=255.255.255.0

# INTERFACE_NAME[5]=lan5

# BROADCAST_ADDRESS[5]=192.168.0.255

# INTERFACE_STATE[5]=up

Then, as root, execute run the following command at the command line ensure that no IP

address is conﬁgured on Token Ring adapter used for SNAplus2:

# /usr/sbin/ifconfig lan<n> unplumb

where lan<n> is the Token Ring interface.
