SNAX/CNM Manual

PREFACE
SNAX is Tandem's implementation of SNA, IBM's Systems Network
Architecture. As with most implementations, SNAX is a partial
implementation of the architecture.
This manual is directed to system managers and system program-
mers. It provides information about Communications Network
Management (CNM), a programmatic interface to Tandem's Service
Manager ($SSCP) that allows a program residing on a Tandem system
to perform network-management functions.
• Section 1 is an introduction to CNM.
• Section 2 consists of a verb directory; it provides a layout
of the header format for each verb that a CNM program can send
to the Tandem SSCP.
• Section 3 consists of a reply directory; it provides a layout
of the header format for each reply that Tandem's SSCP can
return to a CNM program.
• Appendix A consists of a sample CNM program that sends REQMS
RUs and receives RECFMS RUs
• Appendix B consists of a sample program that sends and
receives Network Vector Transport (NMVT) RUs.
In order to fulfill their configuration and network-management
tasks, system programmers and managers should be familiar with
the Tandem and IBM manuals listed below.
Tandem manuals include:
• Introduction to SNAX
• SNAX Device-Access Methods Programming Manual
