SNA Status and Conﬁguration

Remote Subscriber Id

This is the subscriber address of the remote end of a SNA connection. It is used by the local device to identify where a call is going. Enter a Subscriber ID of up to 15 digits. A Subscriber ID record must also be conÞgured for this address (see Chapter 4, ConÞguring the Subscriber Table for Subscriber ID conventions).

If the PU is one end of a connection to a logical port in the FRX or SmartSwitch 1800, this ID must match a Subscriber ID conÞgured for the logical port.

LPDA Resource Id

LPDA requires both a PU name and an LU (logical unit) ID. This Þeld identiÞes a LU on the PU. The Resource ID value must match the NetView LOCADDR. The default value for this parameter is 0.

LLC2 Connection

This Þeld speciÞes whether SDLC-LLC2 conversion will be done on the PU connection, either locally or at a remote node via a logical or physical port. If the PU will be used for SDLC-LLC2 conversion, this Þeld must be set to Yes. The default value for this parameter is No.

Auto Call Enabled

This parameter enables automatic calling between SNA ports when the controller (identiÞed by Link Address) becomes active. If Yes is selected on an SNA port, an X.25 call will be made from the local port to the remote subscriber port.

The default value for this parameter is No. If you have conÞgured the SNA port with a PAD Type of TPAD, you should set Autocall to Yes. If you have conÞgured the SNA port with a PAD Type of HPAD, set Autocall to No.

Retry Time

The amount of time (in seconds) between Auto Call retries (see above). If Auto Call is disabled, (if No was selected), this Þeld will be grayed out. The default value for this parameter is 60.

Retry Count

The maximum number of times an Auto Call (see above) will be sent. If Auto Call is disabled, (if No was selected), this Þeld will be grayed out. The default value for this parameter is 0 (indeÞnite).

L2 Data Mode

This Þeld determines whether transmission will be in one or two directions at the same time. If you select Two Way Alternate it will be in one direction at a time; if you select Two Way Simultaneous, it will be in two directions at the same time.

The default value for this parameter is Two Way Alternate.

It supported extensive routing capabilities, allowing organizations to manage traffic efficiently even under heavy loads. The FRX6000 boasted high throughput rates and low latency, making it suitable for demanding applications. With support for various network protocols, including IP, IPX, and AppleTalk, its adaptability made it a versatile choice for diverse networking needs. Moreover, security features like VLAN support and Access Control Lists (ACLs) provided enhanced protection against potential threats.

Moving to the FRX4000, this model offered a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. The FRX4000 maintained many of the essential features of its larger counterpart while catering to medium-sized enterprises. It provided Layer 3 routing and could handle multiple simultaneous connections, ensuring seamless communication across departments. The modular design allowed for easy upgrades, enabling businesses to expand their network infrastructure without significant overhauls. This made the FRX4000 an attractive option for organizations looking to optimize their network investments.

Lastly, the FRX1800, designed for small to medium businesses, focused on simplicity and ease of use while still incorporating powerful network management capabilities. Its user-friendly interface made it accessible for organizations lacking extensive IT resources. The FRX1800 provided essential functionalities such as Integrated Layer 2 switching and routing, network monitoring, and basic security features, ensuring that even smaller companies could maintain efficient, reliable networking without overwhelming complexity.

All three models utilized advanced technologies, including a high bandwidth backbone and state-of-the-art switching architecture, to enable fast and reliable data transfer. They also supported Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, allowing businesses to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance across the network.

In summary, the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and FRX1800 were pivotal in enhancing network capabilities, providing organizations with scalable, secure, and high-performance options tailored to their specific needs.
