<h3 id="rzahjcnsup">Connection network support</h3>
|
|
<p>A connection network allows APPN support to find addressing information
|
|
about another system on a LAN when a connection needs to be established. The
|
|
connection network is an enhancement of automatic configuration since the iSeries system
|
|
determines addressing information for outgoing calls and automatically creates
|
|
the associated controller description. Without connection network support,
|
|
one of the two systems making a connection would be required to have the other
|
|
system's LAN address and other controller information manually configured.
|
|
The main benefits for using connection network support are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>It requires less manual definition of controller descriptions.</li>
|
|
<li>It provides direct, any-to-any connectivity with other systems that are
|
|
defined to the same connection network instead of using intermediate routing.</li>
|
|
<li>It reduces the amount of information in the APPN topology database and
|
|
decreases the number of topology updates sent to other systems.</li></ul>
