The LANRMTADDR attribute has been introduced to accept Token-Ring addressing
information and is valid only for SNAX/XF in Token-Ring configurations. This
attribute is used to indicate the SAP and MAC addresses of the remote station that will
be connected to the local PU—a point-to-point connection. The value of
LANRMTADDR is 14 hexadecimal digits, where the first two digits represent the SAP
of the remote station and the subsequent 12 digits represent the MAC station address
of the remote station. The LANRMTADDR attribute is optional for Token-Ring lines
managed by SNAX/CM; LANRMTADDR is required for all other configurations. If
using SNAX/CM and this call attribute is specified, then the address must match the
LANRMTADDR value.
Changes to the configuration are made primarily using SCF. For details about the
syntax of each attribute and for further information about the use of attributes or the
use of SCF with SNAX/XF, see the SCF Reference Manual for SNAX/XF.
Token-Ring Configuration Example
Figure 2-2 illustrates using SNAX/CM in a Token-Ring environment. Although both
sides of the loopback configuration in this figure are shown as Tandem systems, one
could also be IBM-compatible equipment (such as an IBM host as the primary or a
3174 as a secondary station).
