Scenario details: Configure the iSeries connection to a remote token-ring network through the 6611 Network Processor

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

Notes:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Configure AUTOCRTCTL so that any devices that dial in to the iSeries system have controller and device descriptions automatically created.
  6. 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.
