Chapter 7. SDLC Gateway
The CNA-8000 can be used to gateway SNA PU2 traffic across SDLC lines. First you
will need to define the SDLC line information and drops. Afterwards you must tie the
SDLC definitions back to the appropriate subchannel (XCA gateway) using a gateway
definition. You will also need to define at least one of the network interfaces (such as
Eth0 or Eth1) for LLC communications. The SDLC gateway must be assigned to appear
to be on a valid network adapter that is configured to support LLC. (Note that it is not
necessary to have the network adapter actually connected to a network unless there are
also network attached platforms making use of the network connection.) To configure the
SDLC lines select the [SDLC] button on the Connectivity Configuration menu.
