TN3270 Configuration Task List
TN3270 Configuration Task List
The following sections describe how to configure TN3270 server support on the CIP. Not all tasks are required. Refer to “TN3270 Configuration Example” for configuration examples.
Note The TN3270 server is configured on an internal LAN interface in the CIP, which is port 2 of a CIP. Port 0 and port 1 represent physical interface ports; port 2 is a “virtual” port and is always reserved for the internal LAN interface.
Task List for Multiple APPN Hosts
When the host site uses APPN and the TN3270 server can reach multiple hosts, we recommend you use the SNA Session Switch feature and configure your PUs under DLUR. In this instance, perform the following tasks:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Configure SNA Support
Configure TN3270 Server
Configure DLUR
Configure SAPs under DLUR
Configure PUs under DLUR
Monitor the TN3270 Server
Note You can also use DLUR to reach a mix of APPN and
Task List for Non-APPN Hosts
When the host site does not use APPN, or you have a single APPN host, you configure your PU parameters for a directly connected host. In this instance, perform the following tasks:
•
•
•
•
Configure SNA Support
Configure TN3270 Server
Configure PU Parameters on the TN3270 Server
Monitor the TN3270 Server
Configure SNA Support
CIP SNA support (CSNA) must be configured prior to configuring TN3270 support. Refer to the section “Configure IBM Channel Attach for CSNA Support,” in the “Configuring IBM Channel Attach” chapter of Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide .
After you have configured CSNA support, proceed with TN3270 configuration.
