interfaces in the box. The number of XCA gateways required could be reduced to just 2 if
desired.
New VTAM XCA Definitions
XCA Gateway definitions for the CNA-8000 are required. These would appear similar to
the following:
ETH1XCA VBUILD TYPE=XCA
PORTE80 PORT MEDIUM=CSMACD, ETHERNET LLC CLIENTS
CUADDR=800,
SAPADDR=4,
ADAPNO=2
GRPE800 GROUP
ANSWER=ON,
CALL=IN,
AUTOGEN=(1,L,P),
ISTATUS=ACTIVE
ETH2XCA VBUILD
TYPE=XCA
PORTE81 PORT MEDIUM=CSMACD, TN3270 HOST CIRCUITS
CUADDR=801,
SAPADDR=8,
ADAPNO=2,
GRPE801 GROUP
ANSWER=ON,
CALL=IN,
AUTOGEN=(12,L,P),
ISTATUS=ACTIVE
TRC1XCA VBUILD
TYPE=XCA
PORTE82 PORT MEDIUM=RING, TOKEN RING LLC
CUADDR=802,
SAPADDR=4,
ADAPNO=3
GRPT83 GROUP ANSWER=ON,
CALL=IN,
AUTOGEN=(1,L,P),
ISTATUS=ACTIVE
Note the different MEDIUM values for Token Ring and Ethernet. Both Ethernet XCA
definitions are pointed at the same physical adapter, but since the Host Circuits are virtual
drops, they could have been defined to one of the other Ethernet interfaces or even the
Token Ring interface as long as the CNA-8000 is configured to support an XCA circuit
to it. The AUTOGEN parameter tells VTAM how many PUs are to be defined to come
through the XCA definition. A maximum of 255 can be defined.
