AS/400 IBM Network Station: Techniques for Deployment in a WAN
Figure 1. Roaming User Example
• Figure 2 on page 9 shows how the separation of servers function might be
used to reduce network congestion if all IBM Network Stations are
powered on at 8:00 on Monday morning. In this case, separation of
servers is used to split the server functions across multiple systems. For
example, one AS/400 (10.1.1.2) provides both the authentication and
terminal configuration server functions and the PC server (10.2.1.2) is the
DHCP server. In addition, there are two AS/400s (10.3.1.2 and 10.4.1.2)
acting as base code servers. This distributes copies of the large
executable files (operating system and applications) across servers.
Although the PC server providing the DHCP server function only, does
not
require IBM Network Station Manager Release 3. It must be installed on
the other systems that are providing the base code, terminal configuration
and authentication server functions.
