SNAplus2 Node Types
SNAplus2 R7 supports the following additional node types:
• Network Node
SNAplus2 can now operate as a Network Node, End Node or, a Len
Node depending on its configuration. It takes full advantage of the
APPN facilities including dynamic configuration and resource
location.
• Branch Network Node (uses Branch Extender)
SNAplus2 combines the functions of both Network Node and End
Node. The Branch Network Node helps subdivide a network into a
backbone network and attached branch networks.
