AS/400 to Two 5494 controllers using STUN

tholmes · ‎11-23-2004

Hello,

I've configured STUN between an AS/400 and 2 x 5494 controllers across a serial link using two 2621 routers

I've pretty much copied the configuration from the example web site which shows this exactly as we have it

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/tech/tk827/tk369/technologies_tech_note09186a00800b451e.shtml

The IBM engineer is saying the RTS lines never drop so he is not able to activate either controller.

Can you give the config a quick look and possibly tell me where I'm going wrong please

Many thanks

Tony

Hi,

not sure but my best guess would be that it makes not much sense to have local-ack on routera but not on routerb. Either on both or on none.

thanks...

Thanks Matthias, I think it's a locally significate configuration, might be worth looking at

Regards Tony

No, it is not only locally significant. It is either local-ack or not per stun group on both sides

Hi Tony,

The first thing is that this line has clock rate configured, which must mean it is DCE ( has a DCE cable attached ). This means RTS comes from the AS/400 and not the router. CTS would come from the router. If you want this to work as half duplex, add half-duplex to the serial interface configuration. Also, you should add the global command, "stun quick-response" on the AS/400 side router only. Local-ack is by STUN group, all of none. "Stun quick-response" is only valid with local-ack. It prevents the AS/400 from taking the line down if one of the remote controllers is down. This allows the other to stay up. The router will respond with DM for the controller that is down.

Best regards,

Jim
