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 Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide.

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

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 Number in the range 0 to 17 that uniquely identifies the relative adapter number (ADAPNO) on this interface. This value must correspond to the ADAPNO parameter configured in the corresponding virtual telecommunications access method (VTAM) XCA definition.
mac-address Media access control (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

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Before you can configure an internal adapter interface, you must use the bridge-group internal LAN configuration command or the source-bridge internal LAN configuration command to configure the bridging type. The only way to get packets to the Channel Interface Processor (CIP) Systems Network Architecture (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 Guideline

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

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 Hexadecimal value in the range 0x0000 to 0xFFFF. This value 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 Hexadecimal value in the range 0x00 to 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 IP address specified in the HOME statement of the host TCP/IP application configuration file.
host-name Host name specified in the device statement in the host TCP/IP application configuration file.
device-name CLAW workstation name specified in the device statement in the host TCP/IP application configuration file.
host-app 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 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) Enables broadcast processing for this subchannel.
Default

This command has no defaults.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guideline

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

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 Four-digit hexadecimal value in the range 0x0000 to 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 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) Maximum packet size in bytes that will be transmitted on the interface. The range is 4096 to 65535. The default is 20470 bytes.
time-delay value (Optional) Number of milliseconds to delay before transmitting a received packet on the interface. The range is 0 to 100. The default is 10 ms.
length-delay value (Optional) Amount of data to accumulate, in bytes, before transmitting on the interface. The range is 0 to 65535. The default is 20470 bytes.
Defaults

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

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

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. A length-delay value of 0 sends the packet as soon as possible.

Using the no csna command terminates all subchannels (path and devices) configured on the channel and all Logical Link Control, type 2 (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

dlur

Use the dlur TN3270 configuration command to enable the Systems Network Architecture (SNA) session switch function on the CIP, or to enter dependent logical unit requester (DLUR) configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to disable the SNA session switch function and discard all parameter values associated with the SNA session switch.

dlur
dlur
fq-cpname fq-dlusname
no dlur
Syntax Description
fq-cpname Fully qualified control point (CP) name used by the SNA session switch and the logical unit (LU) name for the DLUR function. This name must be unique among APPN nodes in the network including other fq-cpname values specified on all other TN3270 servers running under the Cisco IOS software.
fq-dlusname Fully qualified name of the primary choice for the dependent LU server (DLUS). This is the name of an LU, usually a CP, in an APPN host. The fq-dlusname value can be repeated and shared across servers.
Default

No DLUR function is enabled.

Command Mode

TN3270 configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

If the SNA session switch function is already enabled, the dlur command with no arguments puts you in DLUR configuration mode.

Several parameters in the DLUR configuration mode consist of fully qualified names, as defined by the APPN architecture. Fully qualified names consist of two case-insensitive alphanumeric strings, separated by a period. However, for compatibility with existing APPN products, including VTAM, the characters "#" (pound), "@" (at), and "$" (dollar) are allowed in the fully qualified name strings. Each string is from one to eight characters long; for example, RA12.NODM1PP. The portion of the name before the period is the NETID and is shared between entities in the same logical network.

The no dlur command hierarchically deletes all resources defined beneath it.

Example

The following command performs two functions: It enters DLUR configuration mode; and it enables the DLUR function and defines the LU name for the DLUR as SYD.TN3020 and the primary choice for DLUS as SYD.VMG. Note that the NETID portion of both names is the same:

dlur SYD.TN3020 SYD.VMG

dlus-backup

Use the dlus-backup DLUR configuration command to specify a backup DLUS for the DLUR function. Use the no form of this command to remove a backup DLUS name.

dlus-backup dlusname2
no dlus-backup
Syntax Description
dlusname2 Fully qualified name of the backup DLUS for the DLUR.
Default

No backup DLUS is specified.

Command Mode

DLUR configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

Only one backup DLUS can be specified per CIP. If the backup DLUS specified in the dlus-backup command is in use when a no dlus-backup is issued, the connection is not torn down.

Several parameters in the DLUR configuration mode consist of fully qualified names, as defined by the APPN architecture. Fully qualified names consist of two case-insensitive alphanumeric strings, separated by a period. However, for compatibility with existing APPN products, including VTAM, the characters "#" (pound), "@" (at), and "$" (dollar) are allowed in the fully qualified name strings. Each string is from one to eight characters long; for example, RA12.NODM1PP. The portion of the name before the period is the NETID and is shared between entities in the same logical network.

Example

The following command specifies SYD.VMX as the backup DLUS:

dlus-backup SYD.VMX

generic-pool

Use the generic-pool TN3270 configuration command to specify whether or not left-over LUs will be made available to TN3270 sessions that do not request a specific LU or LU pool through TN3270E. Use the no form of this command to selectively remove the permit or deny condition of generic pool use.

generic-pool {permit | deny}
no generic-pool
Syntax Description
permit Left-over LUs should be made available to TN3270 users wanting generic sessions. This value is the default.
deny Left-over LUs should not be given to a generic pool. The physical unit (PU) is not automatically fully populated with 255 LOCADDR definitions. The default is the value configured in TN3270 configuration mode.
Defaults

In TN3270 configuration mode, generic pool use is permitted.

In PU configuration mode, the default is the value currently configured in TN3270 configuration mode.

Command Modes

TN3270 configuration

PU configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

A left-over LU is defined as one for which all of the following conditions are true:

All LUs in the generic pool are, by definition, DDDLU capable.

Values entered for generic-pool in TN3270 configuration mode apply to all PUs for that TN3270 server but can be changed in PU configuration mode.

In PU configuration mode, a no generic-pool command will restore the generic-pool value entered in TN3270 command mode.

In TN3270 configuration mode, the no generic-pool command reverts to the default, which permits generic pool use.

The command takes effect immediately. If generic-pool deny is specified on a PU, no further dynamic connections to it will be allowed. Existing sessions are unaffected, but as they terminate the LUs will not become available for dynamic connections.

Similarly, if generic-pool permit is specified, any inactive LUs are immediately available for dynamic connections. Moreover, any active LUs that were dynamic previously (before generic-pool deny was issued) return to being dynamic.

Example

The following command permits generic LU pool use:

generic-pool permit

idle-time

Use the idle-time TN3270 configuration command to specify how many seconds of LU inactivity, from both host and client, before the TN3270 session is disconnected. Use the no form of this command to cancel the idle time period and return to the default.

idle-time seconds
no idle-time
Syntax Description
seconds Number of seconds, from 0 to 65535. A value of 0 means the session is never disconnected.
Defaults

The default in TN3270 configuration mode is that the session is never disconnected (0).

The default in PU configuration mode is the value currently configured in TN3270 configuration mode.

Command Modes

TN3270 configuration

PU configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

The idle-time command can be entered in either TN3270 configuration mode or PU configuration mode. A value entered in TN3270 mode applies to all PUs for that TN3270 server, except as overridden by values entered in PU configuration mode.

A no idle-time command entered in PU configuration mode will restore the idle-time value entered in TN3270 command mode.

The idle-time command affects currently active and future TN3270 sessions. For example, if the idle-time value is reduced from 900 seconds to 600 seconds, sessions that have been idle for between 600 and 900 seconds are immediately disconnected.


Note For the purposes of idle-time logic, TIMING-MARKs generated by the keepalive logic do not constitute "activity."
Examples

The following command sets an idle-time disconnect value of 10 minutes:

idle-time 600

The following command entered in TN3270 configuration mode sets the default idle-time disconnect value to 0, or never disconnect:

no idle-time 

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 is in the range 0 to 5.
port Specifies the port number where the CIP is located. The value is in the range 0 to 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 configuration

Usage Guideline

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0. It 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

keepalive

Use the keepalive TN3270 configuration command to specify how many seconds of inactivity elapse before transmission of a DO TIMING-MARK to the TN3270 client. Use the no form of this command to cancel the keepalive period and return to the default.

keepalive seconds
no keepalive
Syntax Description
seconds Number of seconds, from 0 to 65535. A value of 0 means no keepalive signals are sent. The default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
Defaults

The default in TN3270 configuration mode is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).

The default in PU configuration mode is the value currently configured in TN3270 configuration mode.

Command Modes

TN3270 configuration

PU configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

The keepalive command can be entered in either TN3270 configuration mode or PU configuration mode. A value entered in TN3270 mode applies to all PUs for that TN3270 server, except as overridden by values entered in PU configuration mode. A no keepalive command entered in PU configuration mode will restore the keepalive value entered in TN3270 command mode.

If the client does not reply within 30 minutes of the transmission of the DO TIMING-MARK, the TN3270 server disconnects the TN3270 session. The DO TIMING-MARK is a Telnet protocol operation that does not affect the client operation.

If the IP path to the client is broken, the TCP layer will detect the failure to acknowledge the DO TIMING-MARK and initiate disconnection. This action will usually take much less than 30 minutes.

The keepalive command affects currently active and future TN3270 sessions. For example, reducing the value to a smaller nonzero value will cause an immediate burst of DO TIMING-MARKs on those sessions that have been inactive for a period of time greater than the new, smaller value.

Examples

The following command sets an keepalive disconnect value of 15 minutes (900 seconds):

keepalive 900

The following command entered in TN3270 configuration mode sets the keepalive disconnect value to 1800 seconds, the default:

no keepalive 

lan

Use the lan interface configuration command to configure an internal LAN on a CIP interface. Use the no form of the command to remove an internal LAN interface.

lan type lan-id
no lan type lan-id
Syntax Description
type Interface type for this internal LAN: ethernet, tokenring, or fddi.
lan-id A number 0 to 31 that uniquely identifies this internal LAN on this CIP. This value must be unique between all internal LANs of the same interface type on a CIP.
Default

This command has no defaults.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

An internal LAN can be configured only on CIP interface port 2. Interface port 2 represents an internal port on the CIP. You receive an error message if you attempt to configure an internal LAN on any CIP port other than port 2.

Example

The following example shows how to configure an internal LAN Ethernet with a LAN ID of 20 on the CIP in slot 1, port 2:

interface channel 1/2
 lan ethernet 20

link

Use the link DLUR SAP configuration command to define and activate a link to a host. Use the no form of this command to delete the link definition.

link name [rmac rmac] [rsap rsap]
no link name
Syntax Description
name Link name, from one to eight alphanumeric characters. The first character must be alphabetic. The name must be unique within the DLUR function.
rmac (Optional) Remote MAC address of the form xxxx.xxxx.xxxx in hexadecimal. If not specified, a loopback link to another SAP on the same internal LAN adapter is assumed.
rsap (Optional) Remote SAP address, 04 to FC in hexadecimal. The rsap value must be even and should be a multiple of 4, but this requirement is not enforced. The rsap value default is 04.
Defaults

No DLUR link is defined.

The default remote SAP address is 04 (hexadecimal).

Command Mode

DLUR SAP configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

The combination of rmac and rsap must be unique within the DLUR SAP function. These values can only be changed by deleting the link definition, using the no link command, and recreating the link definition.

For a link via a channel on this CIP, the TN3270 server and the hosts should open different adapters in the same internal LAN. Using different adapters avoids any contention for SAP numbers, and is also necessary if you configure duplicate MAC addresses for fallback CSNA access to the host. By configuring the adapters in the same internal LAN, you achieve the same performance--bypassing the DLC stacks--as looping back on a single adapter.

Examples

The following command defines a link name and a remote SAP address:

link LINK5 rsap 08

The following example shows different adapter numbers configured on the same internal LAN to avoid SAP contention. The host uses SAP 4 on token ring adapter 0.

lan tokenring 0
 adapter 0 4000.0000.0001
 adapter 1 4000.0000.0002
tn3270-server
 dlur ...
 lsap token-adapter 1
 link HOST rmac 4000.0000.0001 rsap 4

lsap

Use the lsap DLUR configuration command to create a SAP in the SNA session switch, or to enter DLUR SAP configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to delete a SAP and all SNA session switch links using the internal LAN interface.

lsap
lsap
type adapter-number [lsap]
no lsap type adapter-number [lsap]
Syntax Description
type Internal adapter type on the CIP card, which corresponds to the value specified in the lan internal LAN configuration command. The currently supported type is token-adapter.
adapter-number Internal adapter interface on the CIP card, which is the same value specified in the adapter internal LAN configuration command.
lsap (Optional) Local SAP number, 04 to FC, in hex. The value must be even and should normally be a multiple of four. It must be unique within the internal adapter in that no other 802.2 clients of that adapter, in the router or in a host, should be allocated the same SAP. The default value is C0.
Default

The default value for lsap is hexadecimal C0.

Command Mode

DLUR configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

If the SAP in the SNA session switch function is already created, the lsap command with no arguments puts you in DLUR SAP configuration mode.

The lsap command can be entered only in DLUR configuration mode.

The lsap command uses values that are defined in two other commands: the lan internal LAN configuration command and the adapter internal LAN configuration command. The lan type and adapter adapter-number values configured on the CIP internal LAN interface are used in the lsap command.

However, the lan type keyword is a little different. Where the type on the lan command is tokenring, the corresponding type on lsap is token-adapter. This emphasizes that the number that follows is an adapter number, not a lan number.

The no lsap command hierarchically deletes any links using it. Any sessions using those links are lost.

Example

The following command defines an adapter type, an adapter number, and a local SAP:

lsap token 0 B0

max-llc2-sessions

Use the max-llc2-sessions internal adapter configuration command to specify the number of concurrent LLC2 sessions that will be supported on the CIP interface. Use the no form of this command to remove a value.

max-llc2-sessions number
no max-llc2-sessions number

Syntax Description

number A value in the range 0 to 4000. If no value is specified, the default is 256.
Default

The default number of sessions is 256.

Command Mode

Internal adapter configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

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

maximum-lus

Use the maximum-lus TN3270 configuration command to limit the number of LU control blocks that will be allocated for TN3270 server use. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value.

maximum-lus number
no maximum-lus
Syntax Description
number Maximum number of LU control blocks allowed. The allowed range is 0 to 32000. However, the practical upper limit for concurrently operating TN3270 sessions depends on the hardware and usage characteristics. The default is 2100.
Default

Because of the license structure, the default is 2100, which represents the limit of the lower-priced license (2000) plus a five percent buffer. If you configure a value greater than the default, a license reminder is displayed.

Command Mode

TN3270 configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

Although the value may be varied at any time, reducing it below the current number of LU control blocks will not release those blocks until a PU is inactivated by DACTPU or by using the no pu command.

If the number of LUs in use reaches 94% of the current setting of maximum-lus, a warning message is displayed on the console. To prevent annoyance, the threshold for generating such messages is raised for a period.

The TN3270 server attempts to allocate one LU control block for each LU activated by the hosts. In the case of dynamic definition of dependent LU (DDDLU) the control block is allocated when the client requests the LU, in anticipation of an ACTLU from the SSCP host.

By limiting the number of LU control blocks allocated, you can make sure enough memory is available to support other CIP functions. The control blocks themselves take about 1K bytes per LU. During session activity, a further 2K per LU may be needed for data. On a CIP, 32 MB of memory will support 4000 LUs. To support more than 4000 LUs, we recommend 64 MB of memory.

Example

The following command allows 5000 LU control blocks to be allocated:

maximum-lus 5000

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.

name name
no name name
Syntax Description
name Name that identifies this internal adapter. Consists of up to 8 characters that does not include blanks.
Default

This command has no defaults.

Command Mode

Internal adapter configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Example

The following example assigns a name to an internal adapter interface:

offload

Use the offload interface configuration command to configure an offload task on the CIP. Use the no form of this command to cancel the offload task on the CIP.

offload path device-address ip-address host-name device-name host-app device-app host-link
device-link
[broadcast]
no offload path device-address
Syntax Description
path Hexadecimal value in the range 0x0000 to 0xFFFF. This value 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 address, and one digit for the channel logical address. If not specified in the IOCP, the control unit address and channel logical address default to 0.
device-address Hexadecimal value in the range 0x00 to 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 IP address specified in the host TCP/IP application configuration file.
host-name Host name specified in the device statement in the host TCP/IP application configuration file.
device-name CLAW workstation name specified in the device statement in the host TCP/IP application configuration file.
host-app 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 CLAW workstation application specified in the host TCP/IP 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.
host-link Host application name providing the CLAW API link. For IBM compatible offload software, this will always be tcpip.
device-link CLAW workstation application name providing the CLAW API link. For IBM compatible offload software, this will always be api.
broadcast (Optional) Enables broadcast processing for this subchannel.
Default

This command has no defaults.

Command Mode

preferred-nnserver

Use the preferred-nnserver DLUR configuration command to specify a preferred network node (NN) as server. Use the no form of this command to remove the preference.

preferred-nnserver name
no preferred-nnserver
Syntax Description
name A fully qualified name of a NN.
Default

This command has no defaults.

Command Mode

DLUR configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

Fully qualified names consist of two case-insensitive alphanumeric strings, separated by a period. However, for compatibility with existing APPN products, including VTAM, the characters "#" (pound), "@" (at), and "$" (dollar) are allowed in the fully qualified name strings. Each string is from one to eight characters long; for example, RA12.NODM1PP. The portion of the name before the period is the NETID and is shared between entities in the same logical network.

When no preferred server is specified, the DLUR will request NN server support from the first suitable node with which it makes contact. If refused, it will try the next one, and so on.

If a preferred server is specified, then DLUR will wait a short time to allow a link to the preferred server to materialize. If the preferred server is not found in that time, any suitable node can be used, as above.

DLUR will not relinquish the current NN server merely because the preferred server becomes available.

Example

The following command selects SYD.VMX as the preferred NN server:

preferred-nnserver SYD.VMX

pu (DLUR)

Use the pu DLUR configuration command to create a PU entity that has no direct link to a host or to enter PU configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove the PU entity.

pu pu-name
pu pu-name idblk-idnum ip-address
no pu pu-name
Syntax Description
pu-name Name that uniquely identifies this PU.
idblk-idnum This value must match the idblk-idnum value defined at the host. The value must be unique within the subarea; however, the TN3270 server generally cannot tell which remote hosts are in which subareas, so the server only enforces uniqueness within the set of DLUR PUs.
ip-address IP address that the clients should use as host IP address to map to LU sessions under this PU.
Default

No PU is defined.

Command Mode

DLUR configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

If the PU is already created, the pu pu-name command with no arguments puts you in PU configuration mode. In this mode you can modify an existing PU DLUR entity.

A typical usage for the IP address is to reserve an IP address per host application. For example, clients wanting to connect to TSO specify an IP address that will be defined with PUs that have LOGAPPL=TSO.

Example

The following sequence of commands define three PUs. Two of the PUs share the same IP address and the third PU has a separate IP address:

pu p0  05D99001 192.195.80.40
pu p1  05D99002 192.195.80.40
pu p2  05D99003 192.195.80.41

pu (direct)

Use the pu TN3270 configuration command to create a PU entity that has its own direct link to a host, or to enter PU configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove the PU entity.

pu pu-name idblk-idnum ip-address type adapter-number lsap [rmac rmac] [rsap rsap]
[lu-seed lu-name-stem]
no pu
pu-name
Syntax Description
pu-name Name that uniquely identifies this PU.
idblk-idnum This value must match the IDBLK-IDNUM value defined at the host. The value must be unique within the subarea; however, the TN3270 Server cannot tell which remote hosts are in which subareas and does not enforce the unique value requirement.
ip-address IP address that the clients should use as host IP address to map to LU sessions under this PU.
type Internal adapter type on the CIP card, which corresponds to the value specified in the lan internal LAN configuration command. The currently supported type is token-adapter.
adapter-number Internal adapter interface on the CIP card, which is the same value specified in the adapter internal LAN configuration command.
lsap Local SAP number in hexadecimal, ranging from 04 to FC. The value must be even, and must be unique within the internal adapter so that no other 802.2 clients of that adapter, in the router or in a host, should be allocated the same SAP. Other direct links from TN3270 server direct PUs may use the same value on the internal adapter as long as the remote MAC or SAP is different.
rmac rmac (Optional) Remote MAC address. The remote MAC address of the form xxxx.xxxx.xxxx hexadecimal, specifying the MAC address of the remote host. If not specified, a loopback link to another SAP on the same internal LAN adapter is assumed.
rsap rsap (Optional) Remote SAP address. The remote SAP address is a one- or two-character hexadecimal string, ranging from 04 to FC, specifying the SAP address of the remote host. The default is 04.
lu-seed lu-name-stem (Optional) Provides an LU name that the client can use when a specific LU name request is needed. The format can be x...x## or x...x### where x..x is an alphanumeric string. When ## is specified, it is replaced with the LU LOCADDR in hexadecimal digits to form the complete LU name. When ### is specified, decimal digits are used, padded with leading zeroes to make three characters. The first x must be alphabetic and the entire string, including the # symbols, must not exceed 8 characters.
Defaults

No PU is defined.

The default remote SAP address is 04 (hexadecimal).

Command Mode

TN3270 configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

If the PU is already created, the pu pu-name command with no arguments puts you in PU configuration mode, where you can modify an existing PU entity.

The pu (direct) command uses values that are defined in two other commands: the lan internal LAN configuration command and the adapter internal LAN configuration command. The lan type and adapter adapter-number values configured on the CIP internal LAN interface are used in the pu command.

For a link via a channel on this CIP, the TN3270 server and the hosts should open different adapters in the same internal LAN. Using different adapters avoids any contention for SAP numbers, and is also necessary if you configure duplicate MAC addresses for fallback CSNA access to the host. By configuring the adapters in the same internal LAN, you achieve the same performance--bypassing the DLC stacks--as looping back on a single adapter.

Examples

The following commands configure the TN3270 server to be active, and has one PU, CAPPU1, trying to connect in. An LU seed using hexadecimal digits is defined.

tn3270-server
pu CAPPU1 05D18101 10.14.20.34 token-adapter 3 rmac 4000.0501.0001 lu-seed CAP01L##

The following example shows different adapter numbers configured on the same internal LAN to avoid SAP contention. The host uses SAP 4 on token ring adapter 0.

lan tokenring 0
 adapter 0 4000.0000.0001
 adapter 1 4000.0000.0002
tn3270-server
 pu PU1 05d00001 10.0.0.1 token-adapter 1 8 rmac 4000.0000.0001 rsap 4

Table 62 describes the fields shown in the display.


Table 62: 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 Initial program load (IPL) command was issued. The command is always issued when the ECA is initialized, and 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. The memd information does not apply to CSNA devices.
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. For CSNA devices, a value of Y is displayed when the CSNA device status becomes setupComplete. For all other states, the Con shows a value of N.

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
    implicit 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 off-line sequence (OLS) 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 classification 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 route processor (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. Because 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 69 describes the fields shown in the display.


Table 69: Show Interfaces Channel Field Descriptions (Continued)
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.

shutdown

Use the shutdown interface configuration command to shutdown a physical interface or the internal LAN interface on the CIP when you are in interface configuration mode. The shutdown command also shuts down TN3270 entities, such as PU, DLUR, and DLUR SAP, depending on which configuration mode you are in when the command is issued. Use the no form of this command to restart the interface or entity. The entity affected depends on the mode in which the command is issued.

shutdown
no shutdown
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

The interface or entity is enabled.

Command Modes

CIP interface configuration

TN3270 configuration

PU configuration

DLUR configuration

DLUR SAP configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

In CIP interface configuration mode, the command applies to the entire CIP.

In TN3270 configuration mode, the command applies to the whole TN3270 Server.

In PU configuration mode, the command applies to the DLUR or direct PU.

In DLUR configuration mode, the command applies to the whole DLUR subsystem.

In DLUR SAP configuration, mode the command applies to the local SAP.

Example

The following command issued in TN3270 configuration mode shuts down the entire TN3270 server:

shutdown

tcp-port

Use the tcp-port TN3270 configuration command to override the default TCP port setting of 23. Use the no form of this command to restore the default.

tcp-port port-number
no tcp-port
Syntax Description
port-number A valid TCP port number in the range of 0 to 65534. The default is 23, which is the IETF standard. The value 65535 is reserved by the TN3270 server.
Defaults

In TN3270 configuration mode, the default is 23.

In PU configuration mode the default is the value currently configured in TN3270 configuration mode.

Command Modes

TN3270 configuration

PU configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

The tcp-port command can be entered in either TN3270 configuration mode or PU configuration mode. A value entered in TN3270 mode applies to all PUs for that TN3270 server, except as overridden by values entered in PU configuration mode. The tcp-port command affects only future TN3270 sessions.

The no tcp-port command entered in PU configuration mode removes the override.

Example

The following command entered in TN3270 configuration mode returns the TCP port value to 23:

no tcp-port

tn3270-server

Use the tn3270-server interface configuration command to start the TN3270 server on a CIP or to enter TN3270 configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to disable all TN3270 server activity on a CIP.

tn3270-server
no tn3270-server
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

No TN3270 server function is enabled.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

Only one TN3270 server can run on a CIP. It will always be configured on port 2, which is the internal LAN interface port.

The no tn3270-server command shuts down TN3270 server immediately. All active sessions will be disconnected and all DLUR and PU definitions deleted from the router configuration. To restart a TN3270 server, you must reconfigure all parameters.

Example

The following command starts the TN3270 server and enters TN3270 configuration mode:

tn3270-server

timing-mark

Use the timing-mark TN3270 configuration mode command to select whether a WILL TIMING-MARK is transmitted when the host application needs an SNA response (definite or pacing response). Use the no form of the command to turn off WILL TIMING-MARK transmission except as used by the keepalive function.

timing-mark
no timing-mark
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or key words.

Default

No WILL TIMING-MARKS are transmitted except by keepalive.

Command Mode

TN3270 configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

If timing-mark is configured the TN3270 server will send WILL TIMING-MARK as necessary to achieve an end-to-end response protocol. Specifically, TIMING-MARK will be sent if any of the following are true:

The use of the timing-mark command can degrade performance. Some clients do not support timing-mark used in this way. Therefore, timing-mark should only be configured where both of the following are true:

Example

The following command enables TIMING-MARK transmission:

keepalive

unbind-action

Use the unbind-action TN3270 configuration command to select what action to take when the TN3270 server receives an UNBIND. Use the no form of this command to restore the default.

unbind-action {keep | disconnect}
no unbind-action
Syntax Description
keep No automatic disconnect will be made by the server upon receipt of an UNBIND.
disconnect Session will be disconnected upon receipt of an UNBIND.
Defaults

In TN3270 configuration mode, the default is disconnect.

In PU configuration mode the default is the value currently configured in TN3270 configuration mode.

Command Modes

TN3270 configuration

PU configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

The unbind-action command can be entered in either TN3270 configuration mode or PU configuration mode. A value entered in TN3270 mode applies to all PUs for that TN3270 server, except as overridden by values entered in PU configuration mode. The unbind-action command affects currently active and future TN3270 sessions.

The no unbind-action command entered in PU configuration mode removes the override.

The unbind-action command affects currently active and future TN3270 sessions.

Example

The following command prevents automatic disconnect:

unbind-action keep

vrn

Use the vrn DLUR SAP configuration command to tell the SNA session switch which connection network the internal adapter interface on the CIP card belongs to. Use the no form of this command to remove a network name.

vrn vrn-name
no vrn
Syntax Description
vrn-name Fully qualified name.
Default

The adapter is not considered to be part of a connection network.

Command Mode

DLUR SAP configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

The vrn command is used to discover routes without having to configure all possible links.

A connection network is also known as a shared-access transport facility (SATF). This means, at the MAC level, that all nodes in the network can reach each other using the same addressing scheme and without requiring the services of SNA session routing. A bridged LAN (whether source-route or transparent) is an example. Such a network is represented in the APPN topology as a kind of node, termed a virtual routing node (VRN).

To make use of this function, all APPN nodes must use the same VRN name for the SATF.

Refer to the VTAM operating system documentation for your host system for additional information regarding the VTAM VNGROUP and VNNAME parameters on the PORT statement of an XCA major node.

Several parameters in the DLUR configuration mode consist of fully qualified names, as defined by the APPN architecture. Fully qualified names consist of two case-insensitive alphanumeric strings, separated by a period. However, for compatibility with existing APPN products, including VTAM, the characters "#" (pound), "@" (at), and "$" (dollar) are allowed in the fully qualified name strings. Each string is from one to eight characters long; for example, RA12.NODM1PP. The portion of the name before the period is the NETID and is shared between entities in the same logical network.

Example

The following command sets a VRN name for the TN3270 internal adapter on the CIP:

vrn SYD.BLAN25
