Change the network attributes (Distribution)
The Change Network Attributes (CHGNETA) command is used to set the attributes
for the system within the network. The following attributes are defined for
DISTRIB and these attributes apply to all connections in the network for this
end node.
- LCLNETID(APPN)
- Specifies that the name of the local network is APPN. The remote locations
(MPLS in the example, NN2 in Figure 8 must specify this name
as the remote network identifier (RMTNETID) on the CRTCTLAPPC command.
- LCLCPNAME(DISTRIB)
- Specifies that the name assigned to the local control point is DISTRIB.
The remote systems specify this name as the remote control point name (RMTCPNAME)
on the CRTCTLAPPC command.
- LCLLOCNAME(DISTRIB)
- The default local location name is DISTRIB. This name will be used for
the device description that is created by the APPN support.
- NODETYPE(*ENDNODE)
- Specifies that the local system (DISTRIB) is an APPN end node.
- NETSERVER((APPN MPLS))
- Specifies that network node MPLS (NN2 in Figure 8) is the
network node server for this end point. The MPLS node is in the same (APPN)
network.
