adjacent node. The names and locations of these parameters vary by IBM system
type.
Configuring SNAX/APN
You should have performed Tasks 1 through 3 of Configuration Quick Start on
page 1-1. You now use SCF to configure and start the SUBSYS, LINE, PU, and LU
objects (no APPL objects).
SNAX/APN APPC Using an SDLC Line
Figure 6-3 on page 6-5 shows how to configure local and remote LUs for APPC on an
SDLC line. Two example configurations are shown. On the left is the configuration
required to use LEN, on the right the same configuration using end node services. The
extra definitions to use end node are shown in bold face.
Note. If multiple service managers are defined in the same HP LEN node, each SNAX
subsystem has the same SNANETID (since they are in the same network). Then:

When the CPNAME values are the same, the subsystems are viewed from the network as
one node, with two ways to access the node.

When the CPNAME values are different, they are viewed from the network as two
separate nodes. Attempting to add the same LU to both nodes could cause problems.
Notes.
1. A SNAX/APN line is configured as primary and nonswitched by default.
2. On SNAX/APN lines, the PU and LU objects are distinguished into local and remote.
3. For details of the SCF attributes for SNAX/APN, see the SCF Reference Manual for
SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN.
