Configuring LLC2 Hosts
Each SNA/LLC2 host device that will connect to a SmartSwitch 1800 running LLC2
must be configured in the database.
To display any LLC2 hos ts already config ured for th is nod e, pres s [C] at the Con figur e
IP/LLC2/BRIDGE/IPX Default Parameters Menu (or [A], [A], [E], [C] from the M ai n
Menu). This will list the hosts' MAC addresses and identify each LLC2 session as
Originated or Terminated. (In an Orig inated session, the h ost initiates LLC 2 sessions;
in a Terminated session, the host accepts sessions destined for the address.)
A host-to-terminal connection is always initiated by the terminal.
To configure a host, press [D] at the Configure IP/LLC2/BRIDGE/IPX Default Pa ram-
eters Menu. When prompted, enter:
●Host Number: 0–128. (Default is 0.)
●Any other requested information (if this is a new host), noting Tabl e 9-4 (on
page 9-21).The resulting display will depend on the configured session type:
Figur e 9-6 = Originated, Figure 9-7 = Terminated.
