SNA Node and Link Configuration
Data Required from the AS/400 Configuration
Data Required from the AS/400 Configuration
Data in an SNA node configuration file must correspond to information
from the remote AS/400 type 2.1 parameters. So, before using NMMGR,
you should have certain information from the AS/400 configuration.
The AS/400 information that corresponds to SNA node configuration
information for SNA/SDLC links, SNA/X.25 links, and SNA/Token Ring
links is described below.
SNA/SDLC Information
For the AS/400 and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate
the SNA/SDLC node configuration with the AS/400 configuration. The
HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide explains this
configuration.
Table 2-8 shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400
configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for an
SNA/SDLC link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this
chapter.
SNA/X.25 Information
For the AS/400 and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate
the SNA/X.25 node configuration with the AS/400 configuration. The
HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide explains this
configuration.
Table 2-9 shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400
configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for switched
virtual circuits (SVCs) of an SNA/X.25 link. Each NMMGR screen field
is described later in this chapter.
