RE: After IPL questions

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.

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.

Thanks in advance,
