SNA Node and Link Configuration
Data Required from the Host Configuration
Data Required from the Host Configuration
Data in an SNA node configuration file must correspond to information
from the host configuration. So, before using NMMGR, you should have
certain information from the host configuration.
The host 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 host and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the
SNA/SDLC node configuration with the ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM host
configurations. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration
Guide explains these configurations. Table 2-1 shows the relationships
between items from the host configuration and items in the SNA node
configuration file for an SNA/SDLC link. Each NMMGR screen field is
described later in this chapter.
