APPN with 2210 x 7200.

[wmatta]

How to make APPN of a MF for the other using interface OSA? I have in a side to router 2210 IBM and in the other a Cisco 7200.

Thanks

Hello,

please provide more information so that I can understand your question. A diagram showing how the devices are interconnected would be a good start. Also, what level of OS do you have on the MF, which boxes will participate as APPN nodes, etc.

We are wanting to establish connection two Maiframes saw wan. However all the configurations that we have the customer today possess a controller 37X. In this case the customer do not possess a controller to make APPC. Then we have two options to make APPN or to establish connection way TCP/IP, certain? I can send the diagram for email for vc? We verify that the MF of the customer is not prepared to trafagar way TCP/IP. Then we have that to make APPC. It forgives me for the bad English.

Hi Wagner,

yes, please send the diagram to romney@cisco.com and we'll see if that helps clarify what you're trying to do.

Hi Wagner,

I received the diagram ... thanks! Here it is simplified:

VM osa--fe 7200 ser--sdlc--ser 2210 eth--osa Z/OS

In order to get appn working between these two main frames you will need to first configure them as APPN capable (NODETYPE=, CPNAME=, NETID=, etc.) if they aren't already. You can find some details at http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ISTH3201/CCONTENTS?SHELF=IST0BK13&DN=SC31-6494-01&DT=19950104102256

You will need to determine if they both should be Network Nodes or if one of them can be an End Node (they will need to be Network Nodes if the LU-LU sessions will go beyond the M/Fs). If they are both NNs and the NETIDs are not the same then you will also need to specify BN=YES.

For the connection between the two you will need XCA and switched major nodes in each M/F and then you must run the OSA adapters in non-Express mode.

You should use dlsw to transport the SNA traffic between the 7200 and 2210.

If you have further questions or want sample configurations I'd be glad to try and help, but you also might find your local Cisco account team or SE to be a good resource.

Hi Ray,

you have examples of same configuration with routers Cisco x 2210? I configure dlsw in the two eth? as example below?
