Configuring the Node

Configuring the Node

The first step in configuring SNAplus2 on a system is to configure the local node. Node configuration provides the basic information that the node needs in order to participate in an APPN network. You must configure the node before you can define connectivity or other resources for the node.

If the node has already been configured, you must stop the node before changing the node configuration.

To configure the node, use one of the following methods:

Motif administration program

Select Configure node parameters from the Services menu on the Node window.

Command-line administration program

Issue the define_node command.

Advanced parameters for node configuration provide control over sessions with undefined partner LUs, reporting of security failures, SNMP support, and limited resource timeouts.

Node Configuration Parameters

You need the following information for node configuration:

APPN support

Level of APPN support for the node:

•If your network is not an APPN network, configure the node as a LEN node.

•To participate in an APPN network in which another node provides session routing services, or to use DLUR only on the local node, configure the node as an end node.

Control point name

Fully qualified control point name for the local node. Because this name may need to be configured on other nodes in the network, consult with your SNA network planner to determine the name.
