This chapter describes SNA Switching Services (SNASw), which supersedes all functionality previously available in the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) feature in the Cisco IOS software. SNASw configuration will not accept the previous APPN configuration commands. Previous APPN users should use this chapter to configure APPN functionality using the new SNASw commands.
For a complete description of the SNASw commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the "SNA Switching Services Commands" chapter of the Cisco IOS Bridging and IBM Networking Command Reference, Volume II. To locate documentation of other commands that appear in this chapter, use the command reference master index or search online.
This chapter contains the following sections:
SNASw provides an easier way to design and implement networks with Systems Network Architecture (SNA) routing requirements. Previously, this network design was accomplished using APPN with full network node (NN) support in the Cisco router. This type of support provided the SNA routing functionality needed, but was inconsistent with the trends in Enterprise networks today. The corporate intranet is replacing the SNA WAN. Enterprises are replacing their traditional SNA network with an IP infrastructure that supports traffic from a variety of clients, using a variety of protocols, requiring access to applications on a variety of platforms, including SNA applications on enterprise servers.
While SNA routing is still required when multiple servers must be accessed, the number of nodes required to perform this function is decreasing as the IP infrastructure grows and as the amount of native SNA traffic in the network decreases.
SNASw enables an enterprise to develop their IP infrastructure, while meeting SNA routing requirements.
SNASw provides the following SNA routing functions:
The Branch Extender (BEX) function enhances scalability and reliability of SNA routing nodes by eliminating topology updates and broadcast directory storms that can cause network instability. BEX appears as an NN to downstream end node (EN), low-entry networking (LEN) node, and PU 2.0 devices, while also appearing as an EN to upstream devices. The BEX function eliminates APPN topology and APPN broadcast search flows between SNASw nodes and the SNA data hosts in the network. This feature is key to providing a reliable turn-key installation because the network administrator no longer needs to develop in-depth knowledge of the level and characteristics of broadcast directory search and topology update traffic in the network. Such knowledge and analysis was commonly required to build successful networks utilizing NN technology without BEX.
SNASw enables BEX functionality by default. SNASw treats all defined links as BEX "uplinks" and all dynamic links created by stations connecting into SNASw as Branch Extender "downlinks." No specific configuration is necessary to enable BEX functionality.
Figure 222 illustrates the BEX functionality.
SNASw also supports the Enterprise Extender (EE) function. EE offers SNA HPR support directly over IP networks. EE also uses connectionless User Datagram Protocol (UDP) transport. SNA COS and transmission priority are maintained by mapping the transmission priority to the IP precedence and by mapping transmission priority to separate UDP port numbers, allowing the IP network to be configured based on these elements. Cisco's IP prioritization technologies, such as weighted fair queuing (WFQ), prioritize the traffic through the IP network. EE support on the IBM Communications Server for S/390 allows users to build highly reliable SNA routed networks that run natively over an IP infrastructure directly to the Enterprise servers. These network designs reduce points of failure in the network and provide reliable SNA networks.
Figure 223 illustrates the EE functionality.
SNASw contains the following usability features designed to make SNA networks easier to design and maintain:
When scaling the SNASw function to hundreds or thousands of nodes, many network administrators find that defining a unique control point (CP) name on each node generates unnecessary configuration overhead. Dynamic CP name generation offers the ability to use the Cisco IOS hostname as the SNA CP name or to generate a CP name from an IP address. These facilities reuse one SNASw configuration across many routers and eliminate the specific configuration coordination previously required to configure a unique CP name for each SNA node in the network. Administrators can still explicitly configure the CPname within the SNASw configuration.
Most SNA node implementations require specific tuning of the SNA basic transmit unit (BTU) in the configuration. SNASw analyzes the interface maximum transfer units (MTUs) of the interfaces it uses and dynamically assigns the best MTU values for that specific port. For served dependent PU 2.0 devices, SNASw uses the downstream MAXDATA value from the host and dynamically sets the SNA BTU for that device to the MAXDATA value.
SNASw can receive connect-out instructions from the IBM Communications Server for S/390. This function allows the system to dynamically connect-out to devices that are configured on the host with the appropriate connect-out definitions. This feature allows connectivity to SNA devices in the network that were traditionally configured for connect-out from the host.
 |
Note DLUR connect-out can be performed over any supported data-link type. |
Early HPR implementations failed to perform well in environments subject to packet loss (for example, Frame Relay, IP transport) and performed poorly when combined with other protocols in multiprotocol networks. SNASw implements the second-generation HPR flow-control architecture, called Responsive Mode Adaptive Rate-Based (ARB) architecture. Responsive Mode ARB addresses all the drawbacks of the earlier ARB implementation, providing faster ramp-up, better tolerance of lost frames, and better tolerance of multiprotocol traffic.
SNASw offers full control over the number of devices supported by a specific port. The max-links configuration on the SNASw port controls the number of devices that are served by this port. When the max-links limit is reached, SNASw no longer responds to test frames attempting to establish new connections. SNASw allows load sharing among different SNASw nodes that offer service to the same SNA MAC addresses.
SNASw contains the following enhanced tools for managing SNA networks:
Messages issued by SNASw are archived in a buffer log that is queried and searched at the console or transferred to a file server for analysis. Each message has a single line that identifies the nature of the event that occurred. The buffer log also maintains more detailed information about the message issued.
SNA frames entering or leaving SNASw are traced to the console or to a cyclic buffer. These frames are analyzed at the router or transferred to a file server for analysis. The trace is sent to a file server in a SNA-formatted text file or in binary format readable by existing traffic analysis applications.
The SNASw internal information is traced in binary form, offering valuable detailed internal information to Cisco support personnel. This information helps diagnose suspected defects in SNASw.
SNASw supports the APPN Trap Management Information Base (MIB), which proactively sends traps with information about changes in SNA resource status. This implementation reduces the frequency of SNMP polling necessary to manage SNA devices in the network.
SNASw supports several connection types to serve all SNA connectivity options, including the following types:
SNASw natively supports connectivity to Token Ring, Ethernet, and FDDI networks. In this configuration mode, the MAC address used by SNASw is the locally configured or default MAC address of the interface.
Using virtual Token Ring allows SNASw access to a source-route bridging (SRB) network, which allows the following configuration:
Virtual Token Ring allows you to connect to local LAN media through SRB technology. Virtual Token Ring and SRB allow SNASw to respond to multiple MAC addresses over the same physical interface. Because there is no limit to the number of virtual Token Ring interfaces that can connect to a specific LAN, you can configure multiple MAC addresses, which respond to SNA requests over the same LAN. When using native LAN support, SNASw responds only to requests that target the MAC address configured on the local interface.
Virtual Token Ring and SRB connect SNASw to a SNA Frame Relay infrastructure. FRAS host and SRB Frame Relay are configured to connect virtual Token Ring interfaces that offer SNASw support for Frame Relay boundary access node (BAN) or boundary network node (BNN) technology.
Virtual Token Ring and SRB can be used to connect SNASw to the Channel Interface Processor (CIP) or Channel Port Adapter (CPA) in routers that support those interfaces.
SNASw uses Virtual Data-Link Control (VDLC) to connect to data-link switching plus (DLSw+) transport and local switching technologies. VDLC is used for a number of connectivity options, including the following two:
Using VDLC, SNASw gains full access to the DLSw+ transport facilities, including DLSw+ transport over IP networks, DLSw+ transport over direct interfaces, and DLSw+ support of direct Frame Relay encapsulation (without using IP).
Through VDLC, SNASw gains access to devices connecting through synchronous data link control (SDLC) and qualified logical link control (QLLC). This access allows devices connecting through SDLC and QLLC access to SNASw.
SNASw provides the following benefits:
With the BEX function, the number of network nodes and the amount of broadcast traffic are reduced.
Limiting SNASw routers to the data center and using the BEX function eliminates SNA broadcasts from the IP network. With EE, SNA traffic is routed using the IP routing infrastructure while maintaining end-to-end SNA services.
By eliminating NNs and using the BEX function, configuration tasks are minimized. Additionally, Cisco has enhanced its auto-configuration capability to eliminate previously required commands.
By placing all SNA routers in the data center, fewer SNA routers are required, and they can be easily configured using virtually identical configurations.
By adding Cisco-unique capabilities to connect-out and distribute traffic across multiple ports, access to resources is improved. Additionally, by supporting the newest HPR ARB flow control algorithm, bandwidth management for SNA traffic is improved.
Two new traces, interprocess and data-link, provide an easier way to view SNASw activity. The APPN Trap MIB allows the user to notify the operator in event of a debilitating problem. Console message archiving provides better tracking of network activity. The ability to format traces so that they are readable by other management products simplifies network management because results are more readily available.
SNASw interfaces with SNA implementations on the market: upstream NNs, ENs, LENs and PU 2.0. It also provides full DLUR support to allow dependent PU and LU traffic to flow over the APPN network to SNA data hosts.
To define an SNASw CP name, use the following command in global configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
Router#snasw cpname netid.cpname [hostname] | Defines an SNASw CP name. |
|
NoteConfiguring a CP name activates SNASw. Conversely, removing a CP name definition deactivates it. |
If you plan to provide services to dependent LUs connecting to this SNASw node, you will be using the DLUR functionality within SNASw. SNASw defaults to using its current active upstream Network Node Server (NNS) as the preferred Dependent LU Server (DLUS) for the node. To override this default and explicitly configure the DLUS name, configure the snasw dlus command. In addition, you can configure node-wide defaults for the DLUS and backup DLUS that this node contacts.
To specify DLUR or DLUS services for this CP name, use the following command in SNASw control point configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
Router#snasw dlus primary-dlus-name [backup backup-dlus-name] [prefer-active] [retry interval count] | Specifies the parameters related to DLUR/DLUS functionality. |
There are several ways that SNASw enables connectivity over different interface types. In the simplest cases, using automatically configured real LAN interfaces enables default interface definitions. SNASw is also capable of connecting to virtual interfaces that are not preconfigured on the router.
Virtual Token Ring interfaces are useful for connections to a CIP/CPA in the same router and for connectivity to Frame Relay transport solutions via SRB. Multiple virtual Token Ring interfaces allow SNASw to respond to multiple MAC addresses through the same real router LAN interface. Use the following commands to configure a virtual interface:
| Command | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
Step1 | Router#interface Virtual-TokenRing number | Configures a virtual Token Ring interface to connect to an SRB infrastructure. |
Step2 | Router#source-bridge vring bridge ring-group | Associates a virtual Token Ring interface with a source-route bridge group. |
Step3 | Router#source-bridge spanning | Indicates this interface should respond to spanning-tree explorers. |
Step4 | Router#mac-address mac-address | Configures a MAC address on a real or virtual LAN interface. |
|
NoteSNASw ports do not dynamically adjust to interface configuration changes that are made when SNASw is active. For example, if you change an interface MAC address or MTU, SNASw may not recognize the new value. If you want to make changes to an interface and want SNASw to adjust to the new interface changes, you may need to either delete and redefine the port that is using that interface or stop and restart SNASw. |
A port can also be associated with the VDLC or HPR/IP features. The VDLC feature enables SNASw to send and receive traffic to other Cisco IOS software features such as DLSw+. If a port is associated with a VDLC interface, that port does not take an interface name as generally required by the snasw port command.
The HPR/IP feature establishes SNASw links over IP networks. If a port is associated with an HPR/IP interface, then you must configure the hpr-ip keyword first, followed by the interface name.
To associate a port with a specific interface, use the following command in global configuration mode:
|
NoteThe interface must be defined before the ports that use them are defined and activated. |
 |
CautionChanging active SNASw interfaces might interrupt SNASw connections. |
In many cases, if the partner node is initiating the connection, a link definition is not necessary. A link definition is built dynamically when the partner node initiates the connection. Links typically need to be defined for upstream connectivity. Downstream devices initiate connectivity into SNASw; therefore, links should not be defined on SNASw to downstream devices.
In SNASw link configuration, you must associate the link with the SNASw port that it will use. For all traditional links, the snasw link command must be associated with a remote MAC address. The MAC address identifies the partner address to which SNASw attempts to establish a link. For all HPR/IP links, the command is associated with a remote IP address. The IP address identifies the partner address to which SNASw attempts to establish a link.
To define an SNASw logical link, use the following command in global configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
Router#snasw link linkname port portname [rmac mac-address | ip-dest ip-address] [rsap sap-value] [nns] [tgp [high | low | medium]] [nostart] | Defines an SNASw logical link. |
When a LEN node connects into an SNASw node, SNASw dynamically learns the CP name of the LEN and places it in its directory. In addition, SNASw dynamically learns the LU names of all LUs on the LEN that initiate independent sessions. Only define the location when an ILU on a LEN device is not sharing the node's CP name and does not initiate the first session. In all other cases the LU's location will be learned dynamically.
To define a resource location, use the following command in global configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
Router#snasw location resource-name owning-cp cpname | Configures the location of a resource. |
|
NoteYou must configure an owning CP for each partner LU configured. The owning CP is the CP name for the LEN node on which the partner resource resides. Location definitions are never required for resources located on NNs or NNs. |
SNASw starts automatically when a CP name is configured. SNASw ports and links are also automatically started once they are configured. If stopped, they can be restarted using one of the following privileged EXEC commands:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
Router#snasw start | Starts SNASw. |
Router#snasw start link linkname | Activates the specified SNASw link. |
Router#snasw start port portname | Activates the specified SNASw port. |
Unless otherwise defined with the nostart operand, SNASw and SNASw port and link definitions are started automatically when SNASw starts. To stop SNASw or to stop SNASw ports and links when making configuration changes or when resetting the ports or links, use one of the following commands in privileged EXEC mode:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
Router#snasw stop | Deactivates SNASw. |
Router#snasw stop link linkname | Deactivates the specified SNASw link. |
Router#snasw stop port portname | Deactivates the specified SNASw port. |
|
NoteRemoving a CP name definition stops SNASw. |
You can monitor the status and configuration of SNASw by issuing any of the following commands in privileged EXEC mode:
You can troubleshoot SNASw by issuing any of the following commands in privileged EXEC mode:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
Router#ping sna netidid.remotelocationname | Initiates LU6.2 sessions with a named partner node. |
Router#show snasw dlctrace [all | last | next] [brief | detail] [filter filter-string] [id recordid] | Displays the captured DLC trace information to the console. |
Router#show snasw ipstrace [all | next | last] | Displays interprocess signal trace on the router console. |
Router#show snasw pdlog [brief | detail] [all] [last] [next] [filter filterstring] [id recordid] | Displays entries in the cyclical problem determination log to the console. |
Router#show snasw summary-ipstrace [id recordid] [last number-records | filter number-records | all | next | last] | Displays the special "footprint" summary interprocess signal trace on the router console. |
Router#snasw dump | Initiates file transfer of SNASw trace files from internal buffers to a file server. |
You can also troubleshoot SNASw by issuing any of the following commands in global configuration mode:
This section provides the following configuration examples:

In Figure 226, SNASw co-exists with CSNA CIP channel support in the same router. Two adapters are opened on the CIP, one from HOSTCMC1 on adapter 1 and one from HOSTCMC2 on adapter2. SNASw is configured to connect these two hosts through port CIP via the SRB infrastructure. In addition, SNASw has two ports configured for downstream devices. Using this configuration, SNASw responds to downstream clients connecting to 4000.1234.1088 and 4000.1234.1089 through a single Token Ring interface (Token Ring 0/0). The router's hostname is used to derive an SNASw CP name, which is NETA.SNASWRT1.

The following section compares the configurations of SNASw vs APPN while connecting to VTAM on a remote router with DLUR using CMPC.
In the example shown in Figure 235 and Figure 236, DLUS is running on the MVS host. DLUR is running on a remote Cisco 4000 router. The connection from MPC to the APPN stack on the Cisco4000 is via LLC2. There is no NN on the Cisco 7500. The PC is running Communications Server/2.
Figure 235 illustrates a DLUS-to-DLUR configuration using SNASw.

NoteSNASw supersedes all functionality previously available in the APPN feature in the CiscoIOS software. SNASw configuration will not accept the previous APPN configuration commands and APPN is no longer supported. Previous APPN users should use this chapter to configure APPN functionality using the new SNASw commands. |
