This appendix provides worksheets for configuring specific functions of SNAP-IX. The worksheets summarize the basic configuration parameters needed to enable each function; for information about advanced configuration parameters, see the appropriate section in the body of this book, or refer to SNAP-IX Administration Command Reference.
To gather all of the information needed to configure a node, you must complete worksheets in the following categories:
Complete one of the worksheets contained in Node Worksheets, depending on the capabilities of the node and the characteristics of the network in which it operates.
Complete one or more of the worksheets contained in Connectivity Worksheets, depending on the link protocols used to communicate with the other systems in your network.
Complete the worksheets in Passthrough Services Worksheets, for any passthrough services to be supported by the node.
Complete one or more of the worksheets contained in User Application Support Worksheets, depending on the types of user applications to be supported by the node.
Complete only one of the following worksheets:
Complete this worksheet if the local node is an APPN network node (a node that provides routing services in an APPN network).
| Motif Field | Valid Entry/Notes | Your Implementation Value |
| Node Parameters Dialog | ||
| APPN support | Network node | |
| Control point name | NETNAME .CPNAME (each 1-8 type A EBCDIC characters) To connect to a VTAM host, this name must match the NETID= and CPNAME= entries in the VTAM PU statement. |
|
| Control point alias | Up to 8 characters | |
| Node ID | 8 hexadecimal digits | |
Connectivity Configuration: See Connectivity Worksheets. | ||
Client/Server Configuration: Not required for a standalone node. | ||
| Configuration server? | Should the node act as a configuration server, to store information about domain resources in the SNAP-IX LAN? | |
Application Configuration: See User Application Support Worksheets. | ||
Complete this worksheet if the local node is an APPN end node (a node that can use dynamic routing information but does not provide routing services for other nodes).
| Motif Field | Valid Entry/Notes | Your Implementation Value |
| Node Parameters Dialog | ||
| APPN support | End node | |
| Control point name | NETNAME .CPNAME (each 1-8 type A EBCDIC characters) To connect to a VTAM host, this name must match the NETID= and CPNAME= entries in the VTAM PU statement. |
|
| Control point alias | Up to 8 characters | |
| Node ID | 8 hexadecimal digits | |
Connectivity Configuration: See Connectivity Worksheets. | ||
Client/Server Configuration: Not required for a standalone node. | ||
| Configuration server? | Should the node act as a configuration server, to store information about domain resources in the SNAP-IX LAN? | |
Application Configuration: See User Application Support Worksheets. | ||
Complete this worksheet if the local node is an APPN branch network node (a node that provides network node functions to end nodes in a branch separated from the main APPN network, while acting as an end node in the main network itself).
| Motif Field | Valid Entry/Notes | Your Implementation Value |
| Node Parameters Dialog | ||
| APPN support | Branch network node | |
| Control point name | NETNAME .CPNAME (each 1-8 type A EBCDIC characters) To connect to a VTAM host, this name must match the NETID= and CPNAME= entries in the VTAM PU statement. |
|
| Control point alias | Up to 8 characters | |
| Node ID | 8 hexadecimal digits | |
Connectivity Configuration: See Connectivity Worksheets. | ||
Client/Server Configuration: Not required for a standalone node. | ||
| Configuration server? | Should the node act as a configuration server, to store information about domain resources in the SNAP-IX LAN? | |
Application Configuration: See User Application Support Worksheets. | ||
Complete this worksheet if the local node is a LEN node (a node that does not support APPN functions or a standalone system that communicates only with a host computer).
| Motif Field | Valid Entry/Notes | Your Implementation Value |
| Node Parameters Dialog | ||
| APPN support | LEN node | |
| Control point name | NETNAME .CPNAME (each 1-8 type A EBCDIC characters) To connect to a VTAM host, this name must match the NETID= and CPNAME= entries in the VTAM PU statement. |
|
| Control point alias | Up to 8 characters | |
| Node ID | 8 hexadecimal digits | |

Client/Server Configuration: Not required for a standalone node. | ||
| Configuration server? | Should the node act as a configuration server, to store information about domain resources in the SNAP-IX LAN? | |
