3.3.10 Selecting a Remote Node
Read this section for information about selecting a remote node, configuring a CP
network, and getting assistance for any problems you may have encountered
while configuring your system.
Use the
SHOW REMOTE command to select the remote node with which you want to
communicate via the command channel. For example:

3.3.10.1 Configuring a CP Network
This section presents the procedure required to configure a control processor
(CP) network. In addition to command and control functionality, the CP channel
provides software download capability between a local and remote node site or
sites. A CP channel is required for each node-to-node connection.
Table 13 provides required configuration data for the example CP topology shown
in Figure 19. Use the
UNIT ADDRESS < ip_address> command to configure the node
ID for each unit.
Table 13. CP Network Configuration Data
IBM recommends that you connect all CP channels on the same sub-DLCI
number.
