Token Ring Drop Panel
Pressing the [Drops] button on the Token Ring Line panel causes the Token Ring Drop
panel to display. This panel allows you to define a Token Ring drop that will be
associated with an upstream Switched Node definition on the host. An example of this
panel appears below.
Field Definitions
Configure Token Ring Line: This option allows you to specify a different Token Ring
line, if the one that is currently selected is not the one that you wish to make changes to.
Drop: This field displays a list of names given to drops that have been defined thus far
by the administrator. As each new drop is defined, it will be added to the list.
Dynamic LLC Connection: When this box is checked, this definition will be used for
dynamic connections. Multiple remote stations may connect through a single Dynamic
LLC Drop. When a remote station connects, it will be challenged for its SNA XID
(PUID). This XID will be forwarded to VTAM through the specified XCA connection
and used to dynamically connect the station to an upstream VTAM Switched PU2
definition that is configured to match the XID (PUID). Selecting Dynamic LLC will force
the remote MAC address in the configuration to ’00:00:00:00:00:00’ and gray out the
‘Remote MAC Address’ and ‘Remote SAP’ since the CNA-8000 will not care what those
values are.
