Figure 145. LMS Port Menu Panel

The parameters shown in this panel are each applicable to certain environments as described below:

Physical Port List

This option is applicable to all the WAN and LAN ports. Note that at the time of writing this book, IBM was not offering any I/O card for WAN connection.

Physical Port Protocol Parameters

This option is applicable to WAN and token-ring ports. It does not apply to Ethernet ports.

Physical Port Interface Parameters

This option is applicable to WAN ports only; therefore, we will not cover it in the remainder of this book.

Logical Port Parameters

This option allows you to configure logical ports for the Multiprotocol Interconnect module. LAN logical ports are created automatically (one per physical port) and take the number of the physical port on which they reside. When using a Multiprotocol Interconnect module with LAN only attachments, you do not need to perform any action using this panel.

WAN logical ports can be created by entering a port number in the range

(13-253) and attaching it to a WAN physical port. As WAN I/O cards are not currently available for the Multiprotocol Interconnect module, this process will not be discussed in this book.

Logical Port Multilink Parameters

This option allows you to provide load sharing over a number of WAN logical ports to the same destination. Therefore, Logical Multilink Ports are not
