SNA IMF Session Startup and Shutdown

Stopping a Session

AN LU-LU session exists to allow two users to communicate in an SNA

network. Once that communication is completed, the LU-LU session

should be terminated to allow the LUs to participate in other LU-LU

sessions.

An SNA IMF session is stopped by sending a logoff message to the IBM

host. The logoff message is forwarded to the host by SNA Transport.

The host LU sends an UNBIND request to the HP 3000 LU. SNA IMF

sends a positive response to the host LU.

Figure 4-3 shows a typical SNA IMF LU-LU session termination.
