SNA Link/iX Node Managers Guide (30291-90507)

18 Chapter1

SNA Links Overview

Other SNA Transport Functions Provided

Besides tracing, SNA Transport also provides these basic services

through the MPE command interpreter:

• Starting and stopping an SNA node (see Chapter 5 , “SNA Link

Troubleshooting,” and Chapter 6 , “MPE Commands.”)

• Session and link status (see Chapter 6 , “MPE Commands.”)

• Software version listing (see Chapter 6 , “MPE Commands.”)

These basic services are the responsibility of the node manager, and

node manager (NM) capability is required to use the MPE commands

for them.
