Host Gens
The technology used by the CIP/CPA for supporting SNA traffic is similar to that of the
CNA-8000, so normally there should not be a need to make any significant changes to the
host gen that currently supports the CIP/CPA.
You should find that your CIP/CPA host gen consists of one or more XCA definitions,
along with the necessary Switched PU definitions to support either downstream PU2
platforms or internal host circuits for the TN3270 gateway clients. These host gens
should be able to be used directly with the CNA-8000 assuming that the CNA-8000 is
configured appropriately. You may also create new XCA definitions for the CNA-8000
to allow it to operate alongside the CIP/CPA during migration.
Client Configurations
Configuration options on the CNA-8000 should permit you to make the CNA-8000 look
like the CIP product that it is replacing to the remote PU2 and TN3270 clients.
Exceptions to look for would be if the CIP is configured with more VLAN addresses than
the CNA-8000 can accommodate.
