Introduction to SNAplus2

Example Configurations

 

Example Configurations

 

SNAplus2 can be used as a standalone system to support direct

 

communication with a host or another SNA node, within a LAN to

 

support SNA communications across the LAN, or as a gateway to support

 

communication between a host and systems in a LAN.

 

A computer running SNAplus2 configured as a standalone system that

 

communicates directly with a host computer is shown in Figure 2-1,

 

“Standalone SNAplus2 Node That Communicates Directly with a Host.”

Several SNAplus2 nodes configured as an APPN network are shown in Figure 2-2, “SNAplus2 Nodes in an APPN Network.” SNA is used for peer communication within the LAN as well as over the SDLC link.
