This chapter describes the commands to configure and monitor the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) feature. For APPN configuration tasks and examples, refer to the "Configuring Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking" chapter of the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide.

adjacent-cp-name

Use the adjacent-cp-name APPN link station configuration command to specify the name of the partner node for the link station. Use the no form of this command to delete the definition.

adjacent-cp-name netid.cpname
no adjacent-cp-name
Syntax Description
netid.cpname Fully qualified network name of the remote control point.
A fully qualified name is a string of 1 to 8 characters, a period, and another string of 1 to 8 characters. The following characters are acceptable:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @
The first character of either string must not be a number. The default is that no partner nodes are specified.
Default

No partner nodes are specified.

Command Mode

APPN link station configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

If the name configured with this command does not match the remote node's control point (CP) name, the link will not come up. If the no form of the command is issues, or the command is not issued at all, no checking is done. This command must be specified if the adjacent node is LEN.

Example

The following example defines a link station that specifies the name of the partner node:

appn link-station APPN1
port TR0
lan-dest-address 1000.C4C1.E5C5
adjacent-cp-name CISCO.APPN1
complete
Related Commands

show appn link-station

appn class-of-service

Use the appn class-of-service global configuration command to define an APPN class of service that is not an IBM-supplied default. Use the no form of this command to delete the definition. This command begins the APPN class of service configuration command mode.

appn class-of-service cosname
no appn class-of-service cosname
Syntax Description
cosname Class of service (COS) name not among IBM default names. COS names must be a Type A character string. A Type A character string contains 1 to 8 of the following characters:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @
Defaults

There is no default class of service name.

If this command is not issued, an IBM default COS can be used. The IBM supplied default classes of service are #CONNECT, #BATCH, #INTER, #BATCHSC, #INTERSC, CPSVCMG, and SNASVCMG.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

COS is a definition of the transport network characteristics that should be used to establish a particular session. The COS definition assigns relative values to factors such as acceptable levels of security, cost per byte, cost per connect-time, propagation delay, and effective capacity. APPN network nodes use COS to select the best session routes between LUs.

If one of the IBM default classes of service does not meet the needs of a particular network, the appn class-of-service global configuration command can be used to create a user defined definition.

Example

The following example defines a COS with one node row and one tg row:

appn class-of-service #SECURE
node-row 1 weight 5 congestion no no route-additional-resistance 0 255
tg-row 1 weight 30 byte 0 255 time 0 255 capacity 0 255 delay 0 255 security 200 255 user1 0 255 user2 0 255 user3 0 255

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

A link represents a connection between a local link station and a link station in an adjacent node. The link can be considered a direct connection between two distinct Type 2.1 or Type 2.0 nodes. The link station provides a route over which local sessions or intermediate sessions can pass. Two link stations are required to build a link: one on each node.

A link station can be predefined with the appn link-station command, or dynamically defined. If you specify service-any in the associated appn port command, link-stations can be dynamically defined when a connect request is received. In this case, the appn link-station command would not be required. You must define an APPN link station if you intend this node to initiate the connection to the adjacent node.

Example

The following example defines a link station using port TR0:

appn link-station CISCO1
port TR0
lan-destination-address 0200.0000.0001

appn mode modename
no appn mode modename
Syntax Description
modename Name of the mode. A Type A character string. A Type A character string contains 1 to 8 of the following characters:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @
Default

IBM-defined [blank] mode

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

The IBM-defined modes are #BATCH, #BATCHSC, #INTER, #INTERSC, #CPSVCMG, #SNASVCMG, #CPSVRMG, and [blank]. These definitions can not be changed.

This command is required when LEN nodes are using this node for network services. The LEN node will issue a BIND containing this mode name; this command will be used to associate the mode name with a COS name.

Example

The following example changes the IBM-defined mode #BATCH to use the #CONNECT class of service:

appn mode #BATCH
class-of-service #CONNECT
complete
Related Commands

appn partner-lu-location

Use the appn partner-lu-location global configuration command to specify an LU that would be the destination LU for an LU-LU session request from an LU using this node for network services. Use the no form of this command to delete the previous definition. This command begins the APPN partner LU configuration command mode.

appn partner-lu-location netid.luname
no appn partner-lu-location netid.luname
Syntax Description
netid.luname Fully qualified name of the partner LU. A fully qualified name is a string of 1 to 8 characters, a period, and another string of 1 to 8 characters. The following characters are acceptable:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @
The first character of either string must not be a number.
Default

No default netid.luname is specified. You must supply a value; otherwise, the configuration will fail.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Use this command to define an entry in the directory database. This command improves network performance by allowing directed LOCATE (because the partner name is known) instead of a broadcast. The disadvantage is that definitions must be created. Alternatively, partner names can be discovered dynamically and added to the database as they are learned. This process, however, requires either prior sessions to the node or broadcast traffic (which causes additional network traffic) sent to locate the node.

Example

The following example defines the location of an LU named CISCO.LU21:

appn partner-lu-location CISCO.LU21
owning-cp CISCO.CP2
complete
Related Commands

owning-cp
serving-nn
show appn directory

appn port

Use the appn port global configuration command to define an APPN port and relate it to a previously defined interface.

appn port portname {interface | rsrb | vdlc}
no appn port portname
Syntax Description
portname Port name to be associated with the interface.
interface Previously defined interface type and number with which the port name is to be associated.
rsrb Specify rsrb instead of an interface if this port will utilize RSRB as a transport protocol.
vdlc Specify vdlc to allow link stations using this virtual port to connect over DLSw+, or any other higher-layer protocol that is CLSI-compliant, using virtual data link control (VDLC).
Defaults

No default port name is specified. No default interface is provided. You must provide the port name and interface, or the configuration will fail.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

At least one APPN port must be defined for each interface that will participate in APPN routing. If more that one service access point (SAP) will be used over a particular port, then a port must be defined for each SAP.

If you configure APPN to run over DLSw+, you specify vdlc, and must also use the vdlc APPN port configuration command to identify which ring group the APPN VDLC port uses and, optionally, which virtual MAC address is used as the local MAC address identifying this APPN port.

Examples

The following example associates an APPN port named FDDI0 with FDDI interface 0:

appn port FDDI0 fddi0
complete

In the following example, the appn port vdlc command creates an APPN VDLC port named "vdlcport," and the vdlc APPN port configuration command identifies the ring group (100) and VDLC virtual MAC address (4000.3745.000):

appn port VDLCPORT vdlc
 vdlc 100 vmac 4000.3745.0000

cost-per-byte (APPN port)

Use the cost-per-byte APPN port configuration command to specify the cost per byte of transmitting a byte of data through this port. Use the no form of this command to delete the definition.

cost-per-byte cost
no cost-per-byte
Syntax Description
cost Number in the range 0 to 255. The default is 0.
Default

The default cost is 0.

Command Mode

APPN port configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Specifying cost-per-byte at the port level applies to all link stations accessed through this port, unless cost-per-byte is specified on an individual appn link-station command. Specifying this value on the appn link-station command overrides the port value. The cost is used in route selection for a particular class of service. Cost per byte specified at the link station level overrides the cost per byte specified at the port level, and relates to the defined link station only. This value is compared to the values specified for a class of service to determine if this link can be used to support the class of service.

Example

The following example sets the cost per byte value to 10:

appn port FR0 serial 0
cost-per-byte 100
complete
Related Commands

null-xid-poll

Use the null-xid-poll APPN port configuration command to specify that the null XID should be used to poll the remote node associated with this APPN port. Use the no form of the command to cancel the specification.

null-xid-poll
no null-xid-poll
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

XID3 negotiation is used to poll remote devices.

Command Mode

APPN port configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

The null-xid-poll command permits PU 2.0 devices that connect in with XID0 to build a dynamic link station. It is no longer necessary to configure a link definition. When this command is used, the router expects its partner to reveal its identity first by responding with either XID3 or XID0.

This feature works in a mixed environment of PU 2.0 and PU 2.1 devices where the same APPN port is shared by both types of devices. By default, XID3 is used to poll the devices. When a PU 2.0 device responds with XID0, the link is created and established dynamically. PU 2.1 devices are not affected by this change, and go through the XID3 negotiation as usual.

Some care must be exercised when configuring null-xid-poll: If two Cisco APPN network node routers connect across ports configured with null-xid-poll, the APPN connection will fail because both routers expect the other to respond first using either XID0 or XID3. Similar behavior may occur when a port configured with null-xid-poll attempts communication with a front-end processor configured for XID polling. You only need to configure null-xid-poll when dealing with a PU 2.0 device that does not respond gracefully to the XID3 poll.

Example

The following example specifies that null XID should be used to poll the remote nodes associated with the APPN port FDDI0.

appn port FDDI0 fddi 0
