RE: APPN config

First, create two controller descriptions on each system using crtctlappc
with the following parameters: 

                                                                      
        Controller description . . . . . . :            LINKSys1 or
whatever..   
        Option . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :            *BASIC     
        Category of controller . . . . . . :            *APPC        
                                                   
        Link type  . . . . . . . . . . . . :            *LAN              
        Online at IPL  . . . . . . . . . . :            *YES          
        Active switched line . . . . . . . :            Name of local
Ethernet Line desc.  
        Character code . . . . . . . . . . :            *EBCDIC            
        Maximum frame size . . . . . . . . :            16393            
        Current maximum frame size . . . . :            1496         
        Remote network identifier  . . . . :            *NETATR           
        Remote control point . . . . . . . :            Name of remote
System            
        Initial connection . . . . . . . . :            *DIAL        
        Dial initiation  . . . . . . . . . :            *LINKTYPE        
        Switched disconnect  . . . . . . . :            *YES          
        Data link role . . . . . . . . . . :            *NEG    
        LAN remote adapter address . . . . :            Adapter address of
the remote systems
        
Ethernet Card ( get using wrkcfgsts ) 

Repeat this step on the second system using the different parameters as
required ( different 
remote control point, remote lan adapter address etc.

Then you will need run cfgdstsrv. Take option 1 to add a distribution queue,
then F6 for a new entry. You can give the "queue name" and " remote location
name " the system name of the remote system. The rest of parameters you can
leave as default.

Back at the Config Distribution Services main menu, select 2 for a routing
table, F6 to add and enter the remote system name for " system Name / Group
" as well as for all the " Queue Name " fields. 

If both ethernet lines are up and running on your two systems you should be
able to vary on the controllers you created. If you get a " vary on pending
" status there is a problem with your configuration or ethernet lines.

Once you have the two controllers varied on, you will be able to use Snads
communications for 
Passthru, SNDNETF, RCVNETF,  SNDNETSPLF etc. However, I would recommend that
you use FTP for transferring files as it is a lot easier to manage and
doesn't have the size limitations of SNDNETF ( 2gb I think ).


Hope this helps,

I have a very simple question: what configuration steps are needed to
setting up APPN between two AS/400s in a LAN environment (Ethernet)? I set
up the line descriptions, and TCP/IP is working, but would like to use SNA
too.
