5505 FDDI connectivity to IBM mainframe

Level 1

hi,

I have the following:

1-IBM mainframe:

----------------------

- has two OSA cards (with FDDI ports)

- Each OSA has two IP address's one for TEST and one for Production

- The two OSA have different MAC address.(user defined MAC)

2- two Ciso 5505:

------------------------

-Each switch has FDDI module

The old setup:

-------------------

Before,I have 2 old hubs (not cisco) connecting to the two OSA through token ring,the mainframe OSAs are configured now for this setup.

The new setup (which I want to make)

----------------------------------------------------

to connect the two 5505 to the two OSA by FDDI ,in this case I'll get two dual ring ,one for each OSA.

I would like to know what is the correct connection between them?

Do I need to add additional configuration between the two OSA on the mainframe (since now I'll have Dual ring not single ring)?

please I need any information about this problem.
