LLC Drop Panel
When you select the [LLC Drop] button, the LLC Drop Panel appears similar to the
picture below:
Field Definitions
Configure Ethernet Line: This is a dropdown control listing the available Ethernet
lines. You may select a different Ethernet Line to configure drops on.
Drop: This dropdown control lists the Ethernet Drops already defined for the selected
Ethernet interface. You can display a different drop by selecting the desired drop from
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.
Drop ID: This field allows you to assign a name for this drop that will be used in other
panels to reference this drop. A default name is generated by the CNA-8000 when you
define a new drop.
