RE: SNA (Yes SNA) setup - will it autoconfig?

Bob,

So do I understand you correctly that you basically gave up on the ethernet
attach and are talking to the library via serial? Is this a stop-gap or your
final solution?

Walden,
We had problems attempting to connect two 820s via ethernet to on 3494. One
gotcha is that the 3494 is 10M NIC, not 100!! I did not do initial ethernet
setup, but I could not get it to work, plus it would have required a
dedicated NIC in each 820 because our network is pure 100M.  We went with
serial connections from the modem/serial card (9447?) to the 3494. Those
connections are used for BRMS to communicate to the 3494 tape library. For
the SNA communications between the 820s for synchronization, we use SNA over
IP through Gigabit NICs that are also used for our Domino replication. Bob
