Network Management Connection
Chapter 4 57
Network Management Connection
In SNAplus, the configuration included a Network Management
connection, which was used to identify the NetView host to which
network management data was sent. This connection was used to route
network management data from all nodes on the SNAplus LAN.
SNAplus2 no longer has a concept of a LAN-wide default connection for
this data. Instead, each server is responsible for routing network
management data (either from applications on the server, or from
applications on clients that route the data to this server) to a NetView
host; if different servers on the SNAplus2 LAN are in different NetView
administration domains, this may not be the same host for all servers.
The define_default_pu administration command can be used to define
the default PU (and hence the default host LS) on which this data is sent
from a specific node.
To reproduce the SNAplus behavior, in which the data from all servers is
sent to the same NetView host, you need to ensure that each node has an
LS defined to this host, and use define_default_pu on each node to
route the data over this LS.
