Marc, Al got the 3476 question. As for IP over SNA. Imagine you are a large, maybe global, company with a huge investment in an SNA backbone (can you say IBM?) and you want to connect two IP LANs over this SNA backbone. IP over SNA would allow you to do exactly that. It is the mirror of SNA over IP and allows you to bundle IP packets into SNA packets and route them over an SNA backbone. -Walden -----Original Message----- From: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com [mailto:owner-midrange-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Marc Zylka Sent: Sunday, May 31, 1998 10:00 AM To: Midrange List Subject: After IPL questions I performed an IPL this morning on our 620, which took about 10 minutes, and I have 2 questions. 1) I received the following message twice: * *Attention* Device *N on resource *N failed. Looking at the details, I see: Reporting device type . . . . . . : 3476 Model . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 0EA Feature . . . . . . . . . . . . : Serial number . . . . . . . . . : 00-******* EC level . . . . . . . . . . . : Symptom string . . . . . . . . . : 5769 SRCB0700006 Anyone know what a 3476 device is? I could not find it by looking at the hardware resources. Where would I find this information? 2) This message appeared: IP over SNA not activated. This is caused by having *YES on the parameter Allow Anynet support under the network attributes. Why would I want IP over SNA? I think this setting was set because we're using NetSoft software to connect using Anynet over TCP/IP. For this, though, I don't think we need to have *YES on this option. Is this correct? Any pointers on this subject to the manuals would be great.
