RE: SNA over TCP/IP

["Mike Shaw" <mhshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carl,

I am doing an 830 - 870 upgrade this weekend and have been told I will need
AnyNet to do SNA over 1 GB Ethernet.........We are moving from 100 Mb to 1
GB as part of the upgrade process.

Regards,

Mike Shaw

Werner:
You do not need to configure anynet to use SNADS over Ethernet.  If your
AS400s are on the same LAN, then you just configure the APPC controller
(type *LAN).  SNA over Ethernet requires you use the MAC address of the
Ethernet card.  That is how the addressing is done.  

If it is over a WAN and you are using CISCO routers, you can use dlsw to
route the SNA over the IP network.  Again, ANYNET is not required.

Hi All,

I'll have a discussion with a customer about the best methods of data
transfer between two iSeries systems. The systems are already connected by
TCP/IP. The issue is to transfer periodically files from one system to the
other. In the past we already used SNADS functions as well as FTP. I
personally prefer SNADS, which would require the Anynet-Support. In previous
postings I read something about a slow down when Anynet is used (in
comparison with pure SNA or pure TCP/IP). Would this be remarkable? Does
Anynet realy slow down also the interactive traffic on a TCP/IP line? Many
thanks for any arguments pros and cons.
