Use the following commands to configure the iSeries™ connection
to a remote token-ring network through a 6611 Network Processor:

Notes: - By creating a token-ring line (CRTLINTRN), you indicate that the data
link connection identifier (DLCI) for which you are configuring connects to
a token-ring bridge. The bridge provides RFC 1490 bridging and performs source-route
bridging.
- The DLCI configured for the line must match the DLCI that
is supplied by the network provider. At administration time, the network provider
must establish a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) connection to the location
of the bridge. If you connect more than one bridge, you need to configure
multiple DLCIs and token-ring line descriptions.
- The MAXFRAME values for each line might be different. When selecting values,
you must take into account the maximum sizes that the network
and bridge support. For information about determining a frame size to configure
in your line descriptions, see maximum
frame size parameter requirements for frame relay.
- You must generate an adapter address (ADPTADR) for each line description
that you configure for bridging over frame relay. The frame-relay adapter
does not have a preset address.
- Configure AUTOCRTCTL so that any devices that dial in
to the iSeries system
have controller and device descriptions automatically created.
- Use the ADDTCPIFC command to define a new interface to the TCP/IP configuration.
This configuration lets you communicate by
using either Systems Network Architecture (SNA) or TCP/IP data.
Note: If the 6611 Network Processor passes TCP/IP data from a frame-relay
network to a token-ring or Ethernet network, you must ensure that the 6611
does not filter data for service access point (SAP) AA. You must turn off
filtering for SAP AA on both the frame-relay port and the token-ring or Ethernet
port.
