problems with an sna-server which wants to connect over cip-router

[rabeder]

hi,

my question:

i have a cisco7513 router which is connected to an ibm host over a cip-card.

there is the following configuration on the card:

.

.

lan TokenRing 7

source-bridge 1127 1 1120

adapter 15 4000.1090.0002

name Geos_Tir

and so on.

there is a sna-server which has a connection to the host over this adapter - everything is fine.

now they want to install a new sna-session (lu6.2) from that server to the same adapter.

but it is not possible to configure the new session on the server with the same sap-value (04) as the first session has.

so we tried with a sap of 08 but it does not work - i think my cip-router only "hears" to sap 04.

is there a possibility to configure a second sap value ?

must this new sap-value also match with the config on the ibm-host ??

any idea ???

thanks a lot !

You do not configure the SAP value anywhere on the router. It is only specified in the XCA major node so you need to set up a second XCA major node with a different SAP value.

Alternatively you could set up an second adapter with a different mac address as well.

Alternatively, you can use a different sap value on the sna-server while you keep the sap value of CIP. This will save you a lot of configuration on CIP and XCA.

You will probably need to add a CSNA statement on your physical channel connection, which will match the XCA definition.
