RE: Is this a need for Anynet?

Thanks to all that responded.  We are trying to avoid buying an Ethernet
card for the 5494 (we are trying to hook up some low volume plants to our
clients network, and would prefer not to buy the Ethernet cards).  We will
be using DLSw.  We have done many of these type of connections, but always
put a LAN card in the 5494 and configured the APPC controller as a *LAN
(rather than *SDLC) connection.  The part that was throwing me is when you
config the AS400 APPC controller, attached as *LAN, you need a MAC address
of the 5494.  We will use the MAC address of the E0 interface on the CISCO
and see how that works.

You have two choices for this configuration.

1) configure the Cisco to run DLSw eg encapsulate (is this word correct
english ?) SNA into IP. In this case, you do not need Anynet on the
AS/400. This configuration can be done, either with the 5494 connected
like you say (and the Ciscos "provide" a MAC address for the 5494), and
either with the 5494 connected with a LAN card

2) change your 5494 for a Perle compatible and use Anynet on the AS/400
side and the Perle side. The 5494 is unable to run Anynet. Perle is
able.
