interfaces in the box. The number of XCA gateways required could be reduced to just 2 if
desired.

New VTAM XCA Definitions

XCA Gateway definitions for the CNA-8000 are required. These would appear similar to
the following:

ETH1XCA VBUILD

TYPE=XCA

PORTE80

PORT

MEDIUM=CSMACD,

ETHERNET LLC CLIENTS

CUADDR=800,
SAPADDR=4,
ADAPNO=2
GRPE800 GROUP

ANSWER=ON,

CALL=IN,
AUTOGEN=(1,L,P),
ISTATUS=ACTIVE

ETH2XCA VBUILD

TYPE=XCA

PORTE81

PORT

MEDIUM=CSMACD,

TN3270 HOST CIRCUITS

CUADDR=801,
SAPADDR=8,
ADAPNO=2,
GRPE801 GROUP

ANSWER=ON,

CALL=IN,
AUTOGEN=(12,L,P),
ISTATUS=ACTIVE

TRC1XCA VBUILD

TYPE=XCA

PORTE82 PORT

MEDIUM=RING,

TOKEN

RING

LLC

CUADDR=802,
SAPADDR=4,
ADAPNO=3
GRPT83 GROUP ANSWER=ON,
CALL=IN,
AUTOGEN=(1,L,P),
ISTATUS=ACTIVE


Note the different MEDIUM values for Token Ring and Ethernet. Both Ethernet XCA
definitions are pointed at the same physical adapter, but since the Host Circuits are virtual
drops, they could have been defined to one of the other Ethernet interfaces or even the
Token Ring interface as long as the CNA-8000 is configured to support an XCA circuit
to it. The AUTOGEN parameter tells VTAM how many PUs are to be defined to come
through the XCA definition. A maximum of 255 can be defined.
