Define SNA Switching Link Station
The following are CLI commands for defining the switched link station parameters.
CLI> define sna switching linkstation localMacAddress
| Parameter | Range of Values | Required Action |
|---|
| <IfIndex> | Integer (1..255) | Enter the IfIndex for the link station. |
| <Address> | Integer (1..254) | Enter the link station address (in decimal). |
| <LocalMacAddress> | MAC address (size 0 | 12) | Enter the MAC address for the local link station. The MAC address is used only by the Passport 4400 unit for transporting SNA traffic across the network. It has no relationship to IP or other network protocols. The MAC address entered must be unique within the network. |
CLI> define sna switching linkstation localSap
| Parameter | Range of Values | Required Action |
|---|
| <IfIndex> | Integer (1..255) | Enter the IfIndex for the link station. |
| <Address> | Integer (1..254) | Enter the link station address (in decimal). |
| <LocalSap> | SAP (0x0 | 0x00 - 0xFF) | Enter the SAP used to represent this link station. Default is 04 hexadecimal. |
CLI> define sna switching linkstation remoteMacAddress
| Parameter | Range of Values | Required Action |
|---|
| <IfIndex> | Integer (1..255) | Enter the IfIndex of the link station. |
| <Address> | Integer (1..254) | Enter the address of the link station (in decimal). |
| <RemoteMacAddress> | MAC address (size 0 | 12) | Enter the MAC address to which this link station is to be connected. The MAC address is used only by the Passport 4400 unit for transporting SNA traffic across the network. It has no relationship to IP or other network protocols. If this address is not available, enter 0. The remote MAC address must be configured only for the Passport 4400 unit that initiates the SNA session. The MAC address entered must be unique within the network. |
CLI> define sna switching linkstation remoteSap
| Parameter | Range of Values | Required Action |
|---|
| <IfIndex> | Integer (1..255) | Enter the IfIndex for the link station. |
| <Address> | Integer (1..254) | Enter the address of the link station (in decimal). |
| <RemoteSap> | SAP (0x0 | 0x00 - 0xFF) | Enter the SAP of the remote end to which this link station is to be connected. If the SAP is not available, enter 0. RemoteSap must be entered only if a RemoteMacAddress is entered. Default is 04 hexadecimal. |
CLI> define sna switching linkstation proxXID
| Parameter | Range of Values | Required Action |
|---|
| <IfIndex> | Integer (1..255) | Enter the IfIndex for the link station. |
| <Address> | Integer (1..254) | Enter the address of the link station (in decimal). |
| <Prox-XID> | PROX XID (size 8) | Enter the Proxy XID to be used for the secondary SDLC link station, in the form of a MAC address (nn:nn:nn:nn).
- Configure Proxy XID only at primary Passport 4400 units. Secondary units should be set to 00:00:00:00 (the default value).
- When Proxy XID is configured, the Passport 4400 unit will respond to XID requests from an SNA host. When Proxy XID is not configured, the Passport 4400 unit will poll the link station for the XID and pass on the response to the SNA host.
- To erase a previously configured Proxy XID, enter 00:00:00:00.
