APPN Configuration Commands

APPN Configuration Commands

This chapter describes the commands to configure and monitor the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) feature. For APPN configuration tasks and examples, refer to the "Configuring APPN" chapter of the Router Products Configuration Guide.

Note: This chapter introduces seven new command modes:

adjacent-cp-name

Use the adjacent-cp-name APPN link station configuration command to specify the name of the partner node for the link station. Use the no form of this command to delete the definition.

adjacent-cp-name netid.cpname
no adjacent-cp-name
Syntax Description

netid.cpname

Fully qualified network name of the remote control point.
A fully qualified name is a string of 1 to 8 characters, followed by a period, followed by a string of 1 to 8 characters. The following characters are acceptable:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @
The first character of either string must not be a number.

Default

The default state is no adjacent-cp-name.

Command Mode

APPN link station configuration

Usage Guidelines

If the name configured with this command does not match the remote node's CP name, the link will not come up. If the no form of the command is issues, or the command is not issued at all, no checking is done. This command must be specified if the adjacent node is LEN.

Example

The following example defines a link station that specifies the name of the partner node:

appn link-station APPN1
port TR0
lan-dest-address 1000.C4C1.E5C5
adjacent-cp-name CISCO.APPN1
complete
Related Commands

appn link-station
show appn link-station

appn class-of-service

Use the appn class-of-service global configuration command to define an APPN class of service that is not an IBM-supplied default. Use the no form of this command to delete the definition. This command begins the APPN class of service configuration command mode.

appn class-of-service cosname
no appn class-of-service cosname
Syntax Description

cosname

Class of service name not among IBM default names. Class of service names must be a Type A character string. A Type  A character string is a string of 1 to 8 of the following characters:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @

Default

There is no default class of service name.
If this command is not issued, an IBM default class of service can be used. The IBM supplied default classes of service are #CONNECT, #BATCH, #INTER, #BATCHSC, #INTERSC, CPSVCMG, and SNASVCMG.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

Class of Service (COS) is a definition of the transport network characteristics that should be used to establish a particular session. The COS definition assigns relative values to factors such as acceptable levels of security, cost per byte, cost per connect-time, propagation delay, and effective capacity. APPN network nodes use COS to select the best session routes between LUs.

If one of the IBM default classes of service does not meet the needs of a particular network, the appn class-of-service global configuration command can be used to create a user defined definition.

Example

The following example defines a COS with one node row and one tg row:

appn class-of-service #SECURE
node-row 1 weight 5 congestion no no route-additional-resistance 0 255
tg-row 1 weight 30 byte 0 255 time 0 255 capacity 0 255 delay 0 255 security 200 255 user1 
0 255 user2 0 255 user3 0 255
complete
Related Commands

node-row
show appn class-of-service
tg-row
transmission-priority

appn connection-network

Use the appn connection-network global configuration command to specify the fully qualified network name for the connection network. Use the no form of this command to delete the definition. This command begins the APPN connection network configuration command mode.

appn connection-network netid.cnname
no appn connection-network netid.cnname
Syntax Description

netid.cnname

Fully qualified network name for the connection network. cnname is the name of the virtual network node in the connection network.
A fully qualified name is a string of 1 to 8 characters, followed by a period, followed by a string of 1 to 8 characters. The following characters are acceptable:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @
The first character of either string must not be a number.

Default

No default connection network name is assigned.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Usage Guidelines

The connection network name must be the same on all nodes that define the connection network, and must be different from any other connection network, LU, or control point in the total network.

Example

The following example defines a connection network using APPN port TR0:

appn connection-network CISCO.CAPPN1
port TR0
complete
Related Commands

port (APPN connection network)
show appn connection-network

appn control-point

Use the appn control-point global configuration command to specify the fully qualified control point name for the node. Use the no form of this command to delete the name and clear all APPN definitions. This command begins the APPN control point configuration command mode.

appn control-point netid.cpname
no appn control point netid.cpname
Syntax Description

netid.cpname

Fully qualified control point name for the local node.
A fully qualified name is a string of 1 to 8 characters, followed by a period, followed by a string of 1 to 8 characters. The following characters are acceptable:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @
The first character of either string must not be a number.

Default

No default control point name is assigned.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

You must issue the appn control-point command to activate APPN routing. There can be only one control point definition in the system. The control point name must be unique in the network.

Example

The following example defines a control point named CISCO.APPN1:

appn control-point CISCO.APPN1

appn link-station

Use the appn link-station global configuration command to assign the name of an adjacent link station. Use the no form of this command to delete the link station name. This command begins the APPN link station configuration command mode.

appn link-station linkname
no appn link-station linkname
Syntax Description

linkname

Name that identifies the link station. The name must be a Type A string.
A Type  A character string is a string of 1 to 8 of the following characters:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @

Default

No default link station name is assigned.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

A link represents a connection between a local link station and a link station in an adjacent node. The link can be considered a direct connection between two distinct Type 2.1 or Type 2.0 nodes. The link station provides a route over which local sessions or intermediate sessions can pass. Two link stations are required to build a link: one on each node.

A link station can be pre-defined with the appn link-station command, or dynamically defined. If you specify service-any in the associated appn port command, link-stations can be dynamically defined when a connect request is received. In this case, the appn link-station command would not be required. You must define an APPN link station if you intend this node to initiate the connection to the adjacent node.

Example

The following example defines a link station using port TR0:

appn link-station CISCO1
port TR0
lan-destination-address 0200.0000.0001
complete

appn mode

Use the appn mode global configuration command to specify a new mode or to change an IBM defined mode and identify the class of service associated with the mode name. Use the no form of this command to delete the previous definition.This command begins the APPN mode configuration command mode.

appn mode [modename]
no appn mode [modename]
Syntax Description

modename

Name of the mode. A Type A character string.
A Type  A character string is a string of 1 to 8 of the following characters:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @

Default

IBM defined [blank]

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

The IBM defined modes are #BATCH, #BATCHSC, #INTER, #INTERSC, #CPSVCMG, #SNASVCMG, #CPSVRMG, and [blank]. These definitions can not be changed.

This command is required when LEN nodes are using this node for network services. The LEN node will issue a BIND containing this mode name; this command will be used to associate the mode name with a COS name.

Example

The following example changes the IBM defined mode #BATCH to use the #CONNECT class of service:

appn mode #BATCH
class-of-service #CONNECT
complete
Related Commands

class-of-service
show appn mode

appn partner-lu-location

Use the appn partner-lu-location global configuration command to specify an LU that would be the destination LU for an LU-LU session request from an LU using this node for network services. Use the no form of this command to delete the previous definition. This command begins the APPN partner LU configuration command mode.

appn partner-lu-location netid.luname
no appn partner-lu-location netid.luname
Syntax Description

NETID.LUNAME

Fully qualified name of the partner LU.
A fully qualified name is a string of 1 to 8 characters, followed by a period, followed by a string of 1 to 8 characters. The following characters are acceptable:
A - Z, a - z
0 - 9
$ # @
The first character of either string must not be a number.

Default

No default NETID.LUNAME is specified. You must supply a value; otherwise the configuration will fail.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to define an entry in the directory database. This command improves network performance by allowing directed LOCATE (because the partner name is known), instead of a broadcast. The disadvantage is that definitions must be created. Alternatively, partner names can be discovered dynamically and added to the database as they are learned. This process, however, requires either prior sessions to the node or broadcast traffic (which causes additional network traffic) sent to locate the node.

Example

The following example defines the location of an LU named CISCO.LU21:

appn partner-lu-location CISCO.LU21
owning-cp CISCO.CP2
complete
Related Commands

owning-cp
serving-nn
show appn directory
wildcard

appn port

Use the appn port global configuration command to define an APPN port and relate it to a previously defined interface.

appn port portname {type number | rsrb}
no appn port portname
Syntax Description

portname

Port name to be associated with the interface.

type number

Previously defined interface type and number with which the port name is to be associated.

rsrb

Specify rsrb instead of an interface if this port will utilize RSRB as a transport protocol.

Default

No default port name is specified. No default interface is provide. Both must be provided or the configuration will fail.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

At least one APPN port must be defined for each interface that will participate in APPN routing. If more that one service access point (SAP) will be used over a particular port, then a port must be defined for each SAP.

Example

The following example associates an APPN port named FDDI0 with FDDI interface 0:

appn port FDDI0 fddi0
complete

lan-dest-address 0200.0000.4321
no connect-at-startup
complete
Related Command

appn link-station

cost-per-byte (APPN link station)

Use the cost-per-byte APPN link station configuration command to specify the cost-per-byte of transmitting a byte of data over this connection. Use the no form of this command to delete the definition.

cost-per-byte cost
no cost-per-byte
Syntax Description

cost

Number in the range 0 to 255.

Default

The default value specified in the appn port command.

Command Mode

APPN link station configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify the relative cost to transmit a byte over the link. The relative cost per byte is used in route selection. Cost per byte may be specified at the port level, in which case it applies to all link stations that connect through the port. Cost per byte specified at the link station level overrides the cost per byte specified at the port level, and relates to the defined link station only. This value is compared to the values specified for a class of service to determine if this link can be used to support the class of service.

Example

The following example sets the cost per byte value to 10:

appn link-station CISCO1
port RSRB1
lan-dest-address 1000.2020.0211
cost-per-byte 10
complete
Related Commands

appn link-station
cost-per-byte (APPN port)

Syntax Description

cost

Number in the range 0 to 255.

Default

The default cost is 0.

Command Mode

APPN port configuration

Usage Guidelines

Specifying cost-per-byte at the port level applies to all link stations accessed through this port, unless cost-per-byte is specified on an individual appn link-station command. Specifying this on the appn link-station command overrides the port value. The cost is used in route selection for a particular class of service. Cost per byte specified at the link station level overrides the cost per byte specified at the port level, and relates to the defined link station only. This value is compared to the values specified for a class of service to determine if this link can be used to support the class of service.

Example

The following example sets the cost per byte value to 10:

appn port FR0 Serial0
cost-per-byte 100
complete
Related Commands

appn port

cost-per-connect-time (APPN link station)

Use the cost-per-connect-tine APPN link station configuration command to specify the relative cost of the link. Use the no form of this command to delete the definition.

cost-per-connect-tine cost
no cost-per-connect-tine
Syntax Description

cost

Number in the range 0 to 255.

Default

The default value specified in the appn port command.

Command Mode

APPN link station configuration

Usage Guidelines

The relative cost of the link, which typically reflects the tariff of the transmission facility, is used in route selection. Cost per connect time may be specified at the port level, in which case it applies to all link stations that connect through the port. Cost per connect time specified at the link station level overrides the cost per connect time specified at the port level, and relates to the defined link station only. This value is compared to the values specified for a class of service to determine if this link can be used to support the class of service.

Example

The following example sets the cost per connect time to 100:

appn link-station CISCO4
port FDDI0
cost-per-connect-time 100
complete
Related Commands

appn link-station
cost-per-connect-time (APPN port)

cost-per-connect-time (APPN port)

Use the cost-per-connect-time APPN port configuration command to specify the cost per connect time. Use the no form of this command to delete the definition.

cost-per-connect-time cost
no cost-per-connect-time
Syntax Description

cost

Number in the range 0 to 255.

Default

The default cost is 0.

Command Mode

APPN port configuration

Usage Guidelines

Specifying cost-per-connect-time at the port level applies to all link stations accessed through this port, unless cost-per-connect-time is specified on an individual appn link-station command. Specifying this on the appn link-station command overrides the port value. The cost is used in route selection for a particular class of service. Cost per connect time specified at the link station level overrides the cost per connect time specified at the port level, and relates to the defined link station only. This value is compared to the values specified for a class of service to determine if this link can be used to support the class of service.

Example

The following example sets the cost per connect time to 100:

appn port SDLC0 Serial1
cost-per-connect-time 100
complete

cp-cp-sessions-supported

Use the cp-cp-sessions-supported APPN link station configuration command to specify that a CP  -  CP session can be established over this connection. Use the no form of this command to specify that a CP  -  CP session can not be established over this link.

cp-cp-sessions-supported
no cp-cp-sessions-supported

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

CP - CP sessions are supported.

Command Mode

APPN link station configuration

Usage Guidelines

The no form of this command must be specified for a link to a LEN node.

CP sessions to additional NNs are optional. Having fewer CP - CP sessions reduces the number of topology update messages and memory required, while increasing convergence time (the time required to update all network nodes).

Example

The following example specifies that no CP - CP sessions are supported:

appn link-station FDDI41
port FDDI1
lan-dest-address 0400.0000.2323
no cp-cp-sessions-supported
complete

null-xid-poll

Use the null-xid-poll APPN port configuration command to specify that the null XID should be used to poll the remote node associated with this APPN port. Use the no form of the command to cancel the specification.

null-xid-poll
no null-xid-poll
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

XID3 negotiation is used to poll remote devices.

Command Mode

APPN port configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

The null-xid-poll command permits PU 2.0 devices that connect in with XID0 to build a dynamic link station. It is no longer necessary to configure a link definition. When this command is used, the router expects its partner to reveal its identity first by responding with either XID3 or XID0.

This feature works in a mixed environment of PU 2.0 and PU 2.1 devices where the same APPN port is shared by both types of devices. By default, XID3 is used to poll the devices. When a PU 2.0 device responds with XID0, the link is created and established dynamically. PU 2.1 devices are not affected by this change, and go through the XID3 negotiation as usual.

Some care must be exercised when configuring null-xid-poll: If two Cisco APPN network node routers connect across ports configured with null-xid-poll, the APPN connection will fail because both routers expect the other to respond first using either XID0 or XID3. Similar behavior may occur when a port configured with null-xid-poll attempts communication with a front-end processor configured for XID polling. You only need to configure null-xid-poll when dealing with a PU 2.0 device that does not respond gracefully to the XID3 poll.

Example

The following example specifies that null XID should be used to poll the remote nodes associated with the APPN port FDDI0.

appn port FDDI0 fddi 0
