Note: Link stations do not have to be defined on every port, only those over
which you want to initiate connections to adjacent nodes.
5. Enable the APPN network node.
6. Configure the following parameters for the APPN network node:
v
Network ID
v
Control point name
7. Define the XID number for subarea connections parameter for the APPN
network node (optional).
8. Accept all other defaults
9. Optionally do the following:
v
Modify High-Performance Routing parameters
v
Configure Dependent LU Requester
v
Define connection networks
v
Define new COS names or mode name mappings
v
Tune the performance of this node
v
Perform node service trace diagnostics
v
Collect statistics for this network node
Controlling Connections Configuration
This group of APPN configuration steps:
v
Allows the network node to accept requests only from nodes that you specify.
v
Enables the network node to initiate connections with other nodes that you
specify, including LEN end nodes.
This configuration provides a higher level of security because you explicitly define
which APPN nodes may communicate with this router network node. A connection
request from an adjacent node will be accepted only if its fully qualified CP name
parameter has been configured on this network node. This group of configuration
steps optionally enables you to have a secure link with each adjacent node by
configuring the session level security feature for each link.
Use the following procedure for the controlling connections configuration:
1. Select ports over which you desire to establish connections to adjacent nodes
from the following DLC port types supported by APPN:
v
Token-ring LAN port
v
Ethernet LAN port
v
Frame-relay serial port
v
PPP serial port
v
X.25
v
DLSw
v
SDLC
v
IP port
2. Define ports selected as direct APPN ports with the following parameters:
v
Enable
APPN routing on this port
v
Disable the
service any port parameter
3. If you are configuring APPN using a DLSw port:
v
Enable bridging on the node
