Step 3: Start the SNAX/APN Line

Before you can start the Expand-over-SNA line, the SNAX/APN line (and its associated

PUs and LUs) must be started. To start a SNAX/APN line, use the SNAX/APN

subsystem SCF START LINE command. The following command starts a SNAX/APN

line named $SNAPA and its associated PUs and LUs:

-> START LINE $SNAPA, SUB ALL

For details about starting SNAX/APN lines, refer to the SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN

Configuration and Management Manual.

Step 4: Create a Profile for the Expand-Over-

SNA Line-Handler Process

You can create a profile for a single-line Expand-over-SNA line-handler process using

the PEXQSNAM profile. This profile is provided in the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume.

You can also create a new profile from an existing profile, or you can create your own

profile. For complete information about profiles, refer to the WAN Subsystem

Configuration and Management Manual.

This subsection shows you how to create a profile using PEXQSNAM.

ADD Profile Command

To create a profile from the PEXQSNAM profile template, use the WAN subsystem

SCF ADD PROFILE command. The command syntax is as follows:

$ZZWAN.profile_name

specifies, via the WAN subsystem, a user-defined name of up to eight

alphanumeric characters that will be used to identify the new profile. You will

reference this profile_name when you create a device for the line-handler

process in Step 5: Create the Expand-Over-SNA Line-Handler Process.

FILE

$SYSTEM.SYSnn.profile_filename

specifies the name of an existing disk file that will be used to create the new

profile. PEXQSNAM is the disk filename of the profile provided for Expand-over-

NAM line-handler processes.

Note. Different profiles are provided for Expand-over-SNA lines that are part of a multi-line

path; these profiles are described in Section 14, Configuring Multi-Line Paths.
