IBM Channel Attach Commands

IBM Channel Attach Commands

Use the commands in this chapter to configure IBM channel attach interface features. For hardware technical descriptions and for information about installing the router interfaces, refer to the hardware installation and maintenance publication for your particular product.

For interface configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring IBM Channel Attach" chapter of the Router Products Configuration Guide.

For a conversion table of the modular products and Cisco 7000 series processors, refer to the "Platform Support" appendix.

adapter

Use the adapter internal LAN configuration command to configure an internal adapter interface on an internal LAN. Use the no form of this command to remove an internal adapter configuration.

adapter adapter-number mac-address
no adapter
adapter-number mac-address
Syntax Description
adapter-number A number in the range of 0 to 31 that uniquely identifies the relative adapter number (ADAPNO) on this interface. This value must correspond to the ADAPNO parameter configured in the corresponding VTAM XCA definition.
mac-address The MAC address of this relative adapter. This is a hexadecimal value in the form of XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.
Default

This command has no defaults.

Command Mode

Internal LAN configuration

Usage Guidelines

Before you can configure an internal adapter interface, you must use the bridge-group internal LAN configuration command or the the source-bridge internal LAN configuration command to configure the bridging type. The only way to get packets to the CIP SNA feature is through bridging. These two commands are identical to their interface configuration forms.

For transparent bridging, the bridge-group statements identify the interfaces in the same bridge group. Frames are sent only to the interface in the same bridge group.

For source route bridging, the source bridge statements identify the interfaces in the same ring group. Frames are sent only to interfaces in the same ring group.

An Ethernet internal LAN can have a bridge-group command.

A Token Ring or FDDI internal LAN can have either a bridge-group or a source-bridge command, but not both.


Note If the source-bridge command is changed while adapters have active sessions, those sessions will be terminated.
Example

The following example configures an Ethernet internal LAN adapter on relative adapter 12 and MAC address 87AD.0462.3FDE:

interface channel 1/2
 lan ethernet 20
  bridge-group 1
  adapter 12 87AD.0462.3FDE

channel-protocol

Use the channel-protocol interface configuration command to define a data rate of either 3 megabytes per second or 4.5 megabytes per second for the Parallel Channel Adapter (PCA) card.

channel-protocol [ s | s4 ]
Syntax Description
s (Optional) Specifies a data rate of 3 megabytes per second.
s4 (Optional) Specifies a data rate of 4.5 megabytes per second.
Default

If no value is specified, the default data rate for the PCA is 3 megabytes per second.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is valid for a PCA adapter card configured on a CIP on the Cisco 7000 series.

Example

The following command specifies a data rate of 4.5 megabytes per second for the interface:

channel-protocol s4

claw

Use the claw interface configuration command to establish the IBM channel attach configuration for an ESCON Channel Adapter (ECA) interface or bus-and-tag Parallel Channel Adapter (PCA) interface on the Cisco 7000 series.

claw path device-address ip-address host-name device-name host-app device-app [broadcast]
Syntax Description
path A hexadecimal value in the range of 0x0000 - 0xFFFF. This specifies the data path and consists of two digits for the physical connection (either on the host or on the ESCON director switch), one digit for the control unit logical address, and one digit for the channel logical address. If not specified in the IOCP, the control unit logical address and channel logical address default to 0.
device-address A hexadecimal value in the range of 0x00 - 0xFE. This is the unit address associated with the control unit number and path as specified in the host IOCP file. The device address must have an even value.
ip-address The IP address specified in the HOME statement of the host TCPIP application configuration file.
host-name The host name specified in the device statement in the host TCPIP application configuration file.
device-name The CLAW workstation name specified in the device statement in the host TCPIP application configuration file.
host-app The host application name as specified in the host application file. When connected to the IBM TCP host offerings, this value will be TCPIP, which is the constant specified in the host TCP/IP application file. When attached to other applications, this value must match the value hard coded in the host application.
device-app The CLAW workstation application specified in the host TCPIP application. When connected to the IBM TCP host offerings, this value will be TCPIP, which is the constant specified in the host TCP/IP application file. When attached to other applications, this value must match the value hard coded in the host application.
broadcast (Optional) Enable broadcast processing for this subchannel.
Default

This command has no defaults.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command defines information that is specific to the interface hardware and the IBM channels supported on the interface.

Example

The following example shows how to enable IBM channel attach routing on the CIP port 0, which is supporting a directly connected ESCON channel:

interface channel 3/0
ip address 198.92.0.1 255.255.255.0
claw 0100 00 198.92.0.21 CISCOVM EVAL TCPIP TCPIP

csna

Use the csna interface configuration command to specify the path and device/subchannel on a physical channel of the Cisco 7000 series router to communicate with an attached mainframe. Use the no form of this command to delete the CIP SNA (CSNA) path.

csna path device [maxpiu value] [time-delay value] [length-delay value]
no csna path device
Syntax Description
path A 4-digit hexadecimal value in the range of 0x0000 through 0xFFFF. This value specifies the data path and consists of two digits for the physical connection (either on the mainframe or on the ESCON director switch), one digit for the control unit address, and one digit for the channel logical address. The control unit address and channel logical address must be specified. For PCA, use the value 0x0100.
device The device address transmitted on the channel path to select the channel-attached device. For PCA (bus-and-tag), this value refers to the subchannel defined in the XCA major node on the host system.
maxpiu value (Optional) 4096 through 65535. The maximum packet size in bytes that will be transmitted on the interface.
time-delay value (Optional) 0 through 100. The number of milliseconds to delay before transmitting a received packet on the interface.
length-delay value (Optional) 4096 through 65535. The amount of data to accumulate, in bytes, before transmitting on the interface.
Defaults

maxpiu value--20470 (0x4ff6)
time-delay value--10 ms
length-delay value--20470 (0x4ff6)

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is valid for an ESCON or PCA card configured on a CIP on the Cisco 7000 series. This command is required for CSNA support over a physical channel.

Use the maxpiu, time-delay, and length-delay keywords to adjust the CIP interface transmission characteristics. You can set the maximum size of packet that the interface will transmit to match the packet size accepted by the host system. You can adjust the delay between the time a packet is received on one of the CIP internal interfaces and transmitted to the host. You can also adjust the transmit-to-host delay by changing the amount of data the CIP accumulates before transmitting to the host.

Changes to the delay values take effect immediately. Any change to the maximum packet size will take effect after the channel is reinitialized.

Using the no csna command terminates all subchannels (path and devices) configured on the channel and all LLC2 sessions established over the subchannels.

Example

The following example shows CSNA, offload, and CLAW configured on the CIP in slot 1, port 0. CSNA can be configured by itself, without dependency on offload or CLAW:

interface channel 1/0
 no ip address
 no keepalive
 offload c700 c0 172.18.1.217 TCPIP OS2TCP TCPIP TCPIP TCPIP API
 claw C700 A0 192.18.1.219 EVAL CISCOVM AAA BBB
 csna 0100 10
 csna 0100 11
 csna 0100 12

interface channel

Use the interface channel global configuration command to specify a channel attach interface and enter interface configuration mode.

interface channel slot/port
Syntax Description
slot Specifies the slot number where the CIP is located. The value can be in the range of 0-5.
port Specifies the port number where the CIP is located. The value can be in the range of 0-2. Port 0 and 1 are for physical interfaces. Port 2 is for configuring an internal LAN interface on the CIP.
Default

This command has no defaults.

Command Mode

Global configuatrion

Usage Guidelines

This command is used only on the Cisco 7000 series.

Example

The following example shows how to enter interface configuration mode for a CIP in slot 2 and begin configuring port 0:

interface channel 2/0

Default

This command has no defaults.

Command Mode

Internal adapter configuration

Usage Guidelines

The the maximum number of LLC2 sessions can be configured only on CIP interface port 2. To specify an unlimited number of LLC2 sessions, either omit this command from the adapter configuration on CIP interface port 2, or use a value of 0.

When configured for an unlimited number of LLC2 sessions, the actual number of sessions is determined by the available memory on the CIP.

Example

The following example limits the maximum number of LLC2 sessions to 212.

max-llc2-sessions 212

name

Use the name internal adapter configuration command to give a name to the internal adapter. Use the no form of the command to remove the name assigned to an internal adapter.

Table 33-1 describes the fields shown in the display.


Table  33-1: Show Extended Channel Statistics Field Descriptions
Field Description
Path The path from the CLAW, offload, or CSNA configuration. It tells which port on the switch is used by the channel side of the configuration.
Dev The device address for each device. For CLAW you get two device addresses. In the configuration statement, you only specify the even address. Both CLAW and offload get two devices and CSNA gets 1.
Connects The number of times the channel started a channel program on the device.
Command Retries The number of times the CIP either had no data to send to the channel (for the read subchannel) or the number of times the CIP had no buffers to hold data from the channel (for the write subchannel). Every command retry that is resumed results in a connect. A command retry may be ended via a cancel.
Cancels The host requested any outstanding operation to be terminated. It is a measure of the number of times the host program was started.
Selective Reset Selective reset affects only one device, whereas a system reset affects all devices on the given channel. It is a reset of the device. On VM this will occur whenever you have a device attached and issue a CP IPL command.
System Reset The number of times the system IPL command was issued. the command is always issued when the ECA is initialized, and one when the channel is taken off line.
Device Errors Errors detected by the ECA or PCA due to problems on the link. This value should always be 0.
CU Busy The number of times the adapter returned a control unit busy indication to the host. This occurs after a cancel or reset if the host requests an operation before the CIP has finished processing the cancel or reset.
Dev-Lnk The first number is the device address. The second number is the logical link. Link 0 is always used for CLAW control messages. For IP datagram mode, link 1 is for actual datagram traffic.

For offload, link 2 is for API traffic. For CSNA, the Dev-Lnk is not relevant.

Blocks Read/Blocks Write CLAW uses the even subchannel for reads and the odd subchannel for writes. Each count is one IP datagram or one control message.
Bytes Read/Bytes Write Bytes is the sum of the bytes in the blocks.
Dropped Blk Read/Write If the router switch processor sends data to the CIP faster than it can send it to the channel, then the block is dropped. High values mean the host is not running fast enough. There are drops on write too. A write drop will occur if the CIP fails to get a MEMD buffer n times for a given block. See Failed memd counter.
Failed memd The number of times the CIP could not obtain a MEMD buffer on the first try. If this value is high, try allocating more large buffers.
Con For link 0, connect of Y means the system validation has completed. For all other links, it means the connection request sequence has completed. Con is an abbreviation for connected.

The first line describes the status of the specified CIP and port. The status can be up, down, or administratively down:

Channel3/0: state up

The next line describes the flags on the CIP:

Flags: VALID ESCON LOADED RQC_PEND MEMD_ENABLED

The next line displays Link Incident Reports:

  Link Incident Reports
    inplicit 0, bit-error 0, link failed 0,
    NOS 0, sequence timeout 0, invalid sequence 0

Link Incidents are errors on an ESCON channel. These errors are reported to the host operating system and are recorded here for additional information.

Implicit incidents indicate a recoverable error occurred in the ECA.

Bit errors indicate the bit error rate threshold was reached. The bit error rate threshold is 15 error bursts within 5 minutes. An error burst is defined as a time period of 1.5+/-.5 seconds during which one or more code violations occurred. A code violation error is caused by an incorrect sequence of 10 bit characters.

Link failed means a loss of synchronization or light has occurred.

NOS means the channel or switch transmitted the Not Operational Sequence.

Sequence timeout occurs when a connection recovery timeout occurs or when waiting for the appropriate response while in the transmit OLS (off-line sequence) state.

Invalid Sequence occurs when a UD or UDR is recognized in the wait for offline sequence state. UD is an unconditional disconnect and UDR is an unconditional disconnect response.

The neighbor node describes the channel or switch. The local node describes the router. The VALID flag shows information has been exchanged between the router and channel or switch.

The information displayed under Neighbor Node is as follows:

  Neighbor Node - VALID
    Class: Switch          Type Number : 009033        Tag: C4
    Model: 001             Manufacturer: IBM
    Plant: 51              Sequence    : 000000010067

Class will be switch or channel depending on whether the connection is a switched point-to-point connection or a point-to-point connection. The type number describes the model of switch or processor. The TAG describes the physical location of the connector. Model is a further classificiation of type. Manufacturer describes who made switch or processor. Plant and sequence are manufacturer specific information to uniquely define this one device.

The information displayed under Local Node is as follows:

  Local Node - VALID
    Class: CTCA-standalone Type Number : C7000         Tag: 30
    Model: 0               Manufacturer: CSC
    Plant: 17              Sequence    : 00000C04953F

The class will be CTCA. The type number and model define the router. The tag is the slot and port where the channel interface processor resides. Manufacturer will always be CSC (for Cisco Systems). Plant is the location where the CIP was manufactured. Sequence is the base ethernet address assigned to the RP.

The last three lines show currently configured information for the inbound and outbound channel connections:

                                                                           Last

  CLAW     C300   61   198.92.1.58 CISCOVM AUBURN TCPIP TCPIP              0080

Mode can be CLAW, offload, or CSNA. Path, device, ip address, and names are from the CLAW command. Since CLAW and offload commands define two devices, both devices are shown. Last sense is the two bytes of sense data transmitted to the host at the time of the last unit exception. Normally the value will be 0000 if no unit exception has occurred, or 0080 to indicate that a resetting event has occurred. Resetting events occur whenever an ESCON device starts unless the first command is a 0x02 read command. The CLAW read subchannel always starts with a 0x02 read command so a resetting event will not occur.

Table 33-2 describes the fields shown in the display.


Table  33-2: Show Interfaces Channel Field Descriptions
Field Description
Channel... is {up | down |
administratively down}
Indicates whether the interface hardware is currently active (whether synchronization is achieved on an ESCON channel, or whether operational out is enabled on a parallel channel) and whether it has been taken down by an administrator.
line protocol
is {up | down |
administratively down}
Indicates whether the software processes that handle the line protocol think the line is usable (that is, whether keepalives are successful).
Hardware is Hardware type.
Internet address is IP address and subnet mask.
MTU Maximum transmission unit of the interface.
BW Bandwidth of the interface in kilobits per second.
DLY Delay of the interface in microseconds.
rely Reliability of the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is 100% reliability), calculated as an exponential average over 5 minutes.
load Load on the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is completely saturated), calculated as an exponential average over 5 minutes. The calculation uses the value from the bandwidth interface configuration command.
Encapsulation Encapsulation method assigned to interface.
loopback Indicates whether loopbacks are set or not.
keepalive Indicates whether keepalives are set or not.
daughter card Type of adapter card.
Data transfer rate Rate of data transfer.
Number of subchannels Number of subchannels.
Last input Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully received by an interface. Useful for knowing when a dead interface failed.
Last output Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully transmitted by an interface.
output hang Number of hours, minutes, and seconds (or never) since the interface was last reset because of a transmission that took too long. When the number of hours in any of the "last" fields exceeds
24 hours, the number of days and hours is printed. If that field overflows, asterisks are printed.
Last clearing The time at which the counters that measure cumulative statistics (such as number of bytes transmitted and received) shown in this report were last reset to zero. Note that variables that might affect routing (for example, load and reliability) are not cleared when the counters are cleared. These asterisks (***) indicate the elapsed time is too large to be displayed. 0:00:00 indicates the counters were cleared more than 231ms (and less than 232ms) ago.
Output queue, drops
input queue, drops
Number of packets in output and input queues. Each number is followed by a slash, the maximum size of the queue, and the number of packets dropped due to a full queue.
Five minute input rate,
Five minute output rate
Average number of bits and packets transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes.
packets input Total number of error-free packets received by the system.
bytes input Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, in the error free packets received by the system.
no buffer Number of received packets discarded because there was no buffer space in the main system. Compare with ignored count. Broadcast storms on Ethernets and bursts of noise on serial lines are often responsible for no input buffer events.
broadcasts Total number of broadcast or multicast packets received by the interface.
runts Number of packets that are discarded because they are smaller than the medium's minimum packet size.
giants Number of packets that are discarded because they exceed the medium's maximum packet size.
input errors Total number of no buffer, runts, giants, CRCs, frame, overrun, ignored, and abort counts. Other input-related errors can also increment the count, so that this sum may not balance with the other counts.
CRC Number of code violation errors seen on the ESCON interface, where a received transmission character is recognized as invalid. On a parallel interface, the number of parity errors seen.
frame Number of packets received incorrectly having a CRC error and a noninteger number of octets. This value is always 0.
overrun Number of times the serial receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded the receiver's ability to handle the data. This value is always 0.
ignored Number of received packets ignored by the interface because the interface hardware ran low on internal buffers. These buffers are different than the system buffers mentioned previously in the buffer description. Broadcast storms and bursts of noise can cause the ignored count to be incremented.
abort Illegal sequence of one bits on a serial interface. This usually indicates a clocking problem between the serial interface and the data link equipment. This value is always 0.
packets output Total number of messages transmitted by the system.
bytes Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, transmitted by the system.
underruns Sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission of datagrams out of the interface being examined. Note that this may not balance with the sum of the enumerated output errors, as some datagrams may have more than one error, and others may have errors that do not fall into any of the specifically tabulated categories.
output errors Number of output errors.
collisions Number of collisions detected. This value is always 0.
interface resets Number of times an interface has been completely reset. This can happen if packets queued for transmission were not sent within several seconds. On a serial line, this can be caused by a malfunctioning modem that is not supplying the transmit clock signal, or by a cable problem. If the system notices that the carrier detect line of a serial interface is up, but the line protocol is down, it periodically resets the interface in an effort to restart it. Interface resets can also occur when an interface is looped back or shut down.

On the Channel Interface Processor, (CIP) this may occur if the host software is not requesting data

restarts Number of times the controller was restarted because of errors.
