Create the controller description (Chicago to Minneapolis, nonswitched)
Because this is an APPN environment (iSeries system to iSeries system), the controller
is an APPC controller, and the CRTCTLAPPC command defines the attributes of
the controller. The example command defines the following attributes:
- CTLD(MPLSL)
- The name assigned to the controller description is MPLSL.
- LINKTYPE(*SDLC)
- Because this controller is attached through an SDLC communications line,
the value specified is *SDLC. This value must correspond to the type of line
that is defined by a create line description command.
- LINE(MPLSL)
- The name of the line description to which this controller is attached
is MPLSL. This value must match a name that is specified by the LIND parameter
in a line description.
- RMTNETID(APPN)
- The name of the network in which the remote control point resides is
APPN.
- RMTCPNAME(MPLS)
- The remote control-point name is MPLS. The name specified here must
match the name that is specified at the remote system for the local control-point
name. In the example, the LCLCPNAME parameter on the Change Network Attributes
(CHGNETA) command specifies the name at the remote system (NEWYORK).
- STNADR(01)
- The address assigned to the remote controller is hex 01.
- NODETYPE(*NETNODE)
- The remote system (MPLS) is an APPN network node.
