Command
Description
To define a range of locaddrs to be reserved for remote devices, use the client ip lu TN3270 PU configuration mode command. Use the no form of this command to cancel this definition.
client [printer] ip ip-address [ip-mask] lu first-locaddr [last-locaddr]
Syntax Description
printer (Optional) Specifies that a client connection from the nailed IP addresses will be nailed to one of the specified LUs only if the client-session negotiates a model type of 328n, where n is any alphanumeric character. Moreover, it ensures that a printer matching the IP address condition can only use an LU nailed as a printer LU. If the printer keyword is not specified for any client statement that has this IP address set, all model types can use this range of LUs. ip-address Specifies remote client IP address. ip-mask (Optional) The mask applied to the remote device address. Multiple client IP addresses in the same subnet can be nailed to the same range of locaddrs. first-locaddr Defines a single locaddr to nail. last-locaddr (Optional) Defines the end range of inclusive locaddrs to be nailed from first-locaddr to last-locaddr.
Defaults
No LUs are nailed. They are all available to any client.
Command Modes
TN3270 PU configuration mode
Command History
11.3 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. Multiple statements can be configured for one IP address or nail type either on one PU or multiple PUs. But each LU can only appear in one client statement.
A client with a nailed IP address can request one of the nailed LUs via the TN3270 device name. If the requested LU is not available then the connection is rejected.
A client with a nailed IP address cannot request an LU outside the range of nailed LUs for its type (screen or printer).
A client with a nonnailed IP address cannot request an LU that is configured as nailed.
The command will be rejected if some of the locaddrs are already nailed. If the locaddrs are currently in use by other remote clients, the nailing statement will take effect only when the locaddr is made available.
To cancel the definition, the no client form of the command must be entered exactly as the client command was originally configured. If a range of locaddrs was specified, to cancel this definition the whole range of locaddrs must be specified. There is no way to cancel only one locaddr if a whole range of locaddrs was configured.
Examples
In the following example, locaddrs 1 to 50 are reserved for remote devices in the 171.69.176.0 subnet:
interface channel 2/2 tn3270-server pu BAGE4 client ip 171.69.176.28 255.255.255.0 lu 1 50
In the following example, locaddrs 1 to 40 are reserved for screen devices in the 171.69.176.0 subnet, while 41 to 50 are reserved for printers in that subnet:
interface channel 2/2 tn3270-server pu BAGE4 client ip 171.69.176.28 255.255.255.0 lu 1 40 client printer ip 171.69.176.28 255.255.255.0 lu 41 50
In the following example, there is an attempt to cancel a definition but this is rejected because it does not specify the full range of locaddrs and the second attempt fails to specify the correct nail type:
interface channel 2/2 tn3270-server pu BAGE4 client printer ip 171.69.176.50 255.255.255.0 lu 1 100 no client printer ip 171.69.176.50 255.255.255.0 lu 1 %Invalid LU range specified no client ip 171.69.176.50 255.255.255.0 lu 1 100 %client ip 171.69.176.50 nail type not matched with configured nail type printer

Command
Description
To nail clients to pools, use the client ip pool listen-point configuration command. Use the no form of this command to remove clients from pools.
client ip ip-address [ip-mask] pool poolname
Syntax Description
ip-address Remote client IP address. ip-mask (Optional) Mask applied to the remote device address. The mask is part of the matching function that determines whether a client is governed by the nailing statement. The default is 255.255.255.255. Multiple client IP addresses in the same subnet can be nailed to the same range of LOCADDRS. poolname Specifies a unique pool name. The pool name cannot exceed 8 characters.

Modification
Usage Guidelines
If the pool is configured while LUs are in use, existing clients are allowed to complete their sessions. A pool name can be identical to an LU name. When assigning an LU, the TN3270 server searches the LU name space first for specific requests, such as connections that specify a device name on CONNECT or LU name in the terminal type negotiation. The request is assumed to be directed to the specific LU rather than to the pool. Make sure the name spaces do not clash.
Examples
The following is an example of the client ip pool command that nails the client at IP address 10.1.2.3 with an IP mask of 255.255.255.0 to the pool named OMAHA:
tn3270-server pool OMAHA cluster layout 10s1p listen-point 172.18.4.18 client ip 10.1.2.3 255.255.255.0 pool OMAHA

Command
Description
To limit the number of LU sessions that can be established from a client IP address, use the client lu maximum TN3270 server configuration command. Use the no form of this command to remove a single LU limit associated with a particular IP address.
client [ip [ip-mask]] lu maximum number
Syntax Description
ip (Optional) IP address of the client. The value for the ip argument is optional when setting the maximum number of LU sessions. If no IP address is specified then the limit is applied to all clients. ip-mask (Optional) IP network mask for the client. The default is 255.255.255.255 number (Optional) Maximum number of LU sessions. The allowed value is from 0 to 65535.
Defaults
The default is that there is no limit on the number of concurrent sessions from one client IP address.
The default value for the ip-mask argument is 255.255.255.255.
In the no form of this command, the default value for the number argument is 65535.
Command Modes

Command History
12.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. An instance of the client (lu limit) command on a given tn3270-server is uniquely identified by the ip-mask and the logical AND of the ip-address with that mask. For example, if the command is entered as the following:
client 10.1.1.62 255.255.255.192 lu maximum 2
Then it will be stored (and subsequently displayed by write term) as:
client 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.192 lu maximum 2
The maximum specified on the command can be changed simply by reissuing the command with the new value. It is not necessary to remove the command first.
When you use the no client command, only the corresponding client lu maximum statement is removed, as identified by the IP address and IP address mask combination. You cannot use no client to specify an unlimited number of LU sessions. The lu number keyword is optional in the no form of the command.
For example, if a service bureau has 8000 clients and each client IP address is limited to four LU sessions, you will never need more than 32000 concurrent LU definitions even when the service is running at 100 percent capacity.
Examples
The following example limits all clients to a maximum of two LU sessions:
client lu maximum 2
The following example limits a client at IP address 10.1.1.28 to a maximum of three LU sessions:
client 10.1.1.28 lu maximum 3
The LU limit can be applied to different subnets as shown in the following example. The most exact match to the client IP address is chosen. Clients with IP addresses that reside in the subnet 10.1.1.64 (those with IP addresses in the range of 10.1.1.64 through 10.1.1.127) are limited to a maximum of 5 LU sessions while other clients with IP addresses in the subnet 10.1.1.0 are limited to a maximum of 4 LU sessions.
client 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 lu maximum 4 client 10.1.1.64 255.255.255.192 lu maximum 5
The following example prevents an LU session for the client at IP address 10.1.1.28:
client 10.1.1.28 lu maximum 0

Command
Description
To enable the Systems Network Architecture (SNA) session switch function on the CMCC adapter, or to enter dependent logical unit requester (DLUR) configuration mode, use the dlur TN3270 server configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable the SNA session switch function and discard all parameter values associated with the SNA session switch.
dlur [fq-cpname fq-dlusname]
Syntax Description
fq-cpname (Optional) Fully qualified control point (CP) name used by the SNA session switch and the logical unit (LU) name for the DLUR function. This name must be unique among APPN nodes in the network including other values for the fq-cpname argument specified on all other TN3270 servers running under the Cisco IOS software. fq-dlusname (Optional) Fully qualified name of the primary choice for the dependent LU server (DLUS). This is the name of an LU, usually a CP, in an APPN host. The value for the fq-dlusname argument can be repeated and shared across servers.
Defaults
No DLUR function is enabled.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. If the SNA session switch function is already enabled, the dlur command with no arguments puts you in DLUR configuration mode. The session switch function implements an End Node DLUR.
Several parameters in the DLUR configuration mode consist of fully qualified names, as defined by the APPN architecture. Fully qualified names consist of two case-insensitive alphanumeric strings, separated by a period. However, for compatibility with existing APPN products, including VTAM, the characters "#" (pound), "@" (at), and "$" (dollar) are allowed in the fully qualified name strings. Each string is from one to eight characters long; for example, RA12.NODM1PP. The portion of the name before the period is the NETID and is shared between entities in the same logical network.
The no dlur command hierarchically deletes all resources defined beneath it.
Examples
The following example performs two functions: it enters DLUR configuration mode; and it enables the DLUR function and defines the LU name for the DLUR as SYD.TN3020 and the primary choice for DLUS as SYD.VMG. Note that the NETID portion of both names is the same:
dlur SYD.TN3020 SYD.VMG

Command
Description
To specify whether or not leftover LUs will be made available to TN3270 sessions that do not request a specific LU or LU pool through TN3270E, use the generic-pool TN3270 server configuration command. Use the no form of this command to selectively remove the permit or deny condition of generic pool use.
generic-pool {permit | deny}
Syntax Description
permit Leftover LUs should be made available to TN3270 users wanting generic sessions. This value is the default. deny Leftover LUs should not be given to a generic pool. The physical unit (PU) is not automatically fully populated with 255 LOCADDR definitions. The default is the value configured in TN3270 server configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines
This command is valid only on the virtual channel interface.
A leftover LU is defined as one for which all of the following conditions are true:
All LUs in the generic pool are, by definition, DDDLU capable.
Values entered for generic-pool in TN3270 server configuration mode apply to all PUs for that TN3270 server but can be changed in PU configuration mode.
In PU configuration mode, a no generic-pool command will restore the generic-pool value entered in TN3270 command mode.
In TN3270 server configuration mode, the no generic-pool command reverts to the default, which permits generic pool use.
The command takes effect immediately. If generic-pool deny is specified on a PU, no further dynamic connections to it will be allowed. Existing sessions are unaffected, but as they terminate the LUs will not become available for dynamic connections.
Similarly, if generic-pool permit is specified, any inactive LUs are immediately available for dynamic connections. Moreover, any active LUs that were dynamic previously (before generic-pool deny was issued) return to being dynamic.
Examples
The following example permits generic LU pool use:

Usage Guidelines
This command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. TOS values applied in TN3270 PU configuration mode override values applied in TN3270 server configuration mode.
The default TOS values for screen and printer are 0. However, RFC 1349 recommends different default values. Specifically, the RFC recommends a default minimize screen delay value of 8 and a default maximize printer throughput value of 4. You must configure these values using the ip tos command if you want to comply to the defaults as stated in the RFC.
Table 33 shows the values described in RFC 1349.
.

|---|---|---|
0 | All normal. | Use default metric. |
8 | Minimize delay. | Use delay metric. |
4 | Maximize throughput. | Use default metric. |
2 | Maximize reliability. | Use reliability metric. |
1 | Minimize monetary cost. | Use cost metric. |
Other | Not defined. | Reserved for future use. |
During initial Telnet negotiations to establish, or bind, the session, an IP precedence value of 0 and IP TOS value of 0 is used. These values are used until the bind takes place. When the session is a type 2 bind, the TN3270 client is assumed to be a screen; otherwise the client is assumed to be a printer.
When you use the no form of the command, the TOS value is either set to 0 for that configuration mode or the value set at a previous (higher) configuration mode is used. For example, if you are at the TN3270 PU configuration mode and issue a no ip tos screen command, any value you configured previously at the TN3270 server configuration mode will take effect.
You can enter new or different values for TOS without first using the no form of this command.

Command
Description
To specify how many seconds of inactivity elapse before the TN3270 server transmits a DO TIMING-MARK or Telnet no operation (nop) to the TN3270 client, use the keepalive TN3270 server configuration command. Use the no form of this command to cancel the keepalive period and return to the previously configured siftdown value or the default.
keepalive seconds [send {nop | timing-mark [max-response-time]}]
Syntax Description
seconds Number of elapsed seconds (from 0 to 65535) before the TN3270 server transmits a DO TIMING-MARK or Telnet nop command to the TN3270 client. A value of 0 means no keepalive signals are sent. The default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). send nop (Optional) Sends the Telnet command for no operation to the TN3270 client to verify the physical connection. No response is required by the client. send timing-mark [max-response-time] (Optional) Number of seconds (from 0 to 32767) within which the TN3270 server expects a response to the DO TIMING-MARK from the TN3270 client. The default is 30 seconds if the keepalive interval is greater than or equal to 30 seconds. If the value of the keepalive interval is less than 30 seconds, then the default max-response-time is the value of the interval. The value of the max-response-time should be less than or equal to the interval.
Defaults
The default behavior is to send timing marks with a keepalive interval of 1800 seconds (30 minutes). If you specify only the keepalive interval, the TN3270 server sends timing-marks.
The default value of the send timing-mark max-response-time command is 30 seconds if the keepalive interval is greater than or equal to 30 seconds. If the value of the keepalive interval is less than 30 seconds, then the default max-response-time is the value of the interval.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
The keepalive command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. This command can be entered in one of four command modes (TN3270 configuration, Listen-point configuration, Listen-point PU configuration, or PU configuration mode). A value entered in TN3270 mode applies to all PUs for that TN3270 server, except as overridden by values entered in the other supported configuration modes. A no keepalive command entered in a subsequent configuration mode will restore the keepalive value entered in the previous command mode.
In Cisco IOS releases prior to 12.0(5)T in which the keepalive command is supported, you cannot specify the period of time in which the client must respond to the DO TIMING-MARK before the TN3270 server disconnects the session. By default in prior releases, if the client does not reply within 30 minutes of the transmission of the DO TIMING-MARK, the TN3270 server disconnects the TN3270 session. (The DO TIMING-MARK is a Telnet protocol operation that does not affect the client operation.)
With the addition of the send timing-mark max-response-time keywords in Cisco IOS release 12.0(5)T, you can specify the period of time in which the client must respond to the DO TIMING-MARK before being disconnected by the server. If you do not specify the max-response-time argument, the default value is determined by the size of the keepalive interval. The default is 30 seconds if the keepalive interval is greater than or equal to 30 seconds. If the value of the keepalive interval is less than 30 seconds, then the default max-response-time is the value of the interval.
If the IP path to the client is broken, the TCP layer will detect the failure to acknowledge the DO TIMING-MARK and initiate disconnection. This action usually takes much less than 30 seconds.
The keepalive command affects currently active and future TN3270 sessions. For example, reducing the keepalive interval to a smaller nonzero value causes an immediate burst of DO TIMING-MARKs on those sessions that have been inactive for a period of time greater than the new, smaller value.
Use the keepalive send nop command when you are using older TN3270 clients that do not support TIMING-MARK or are DOS-based clients. When you use the keepalive send nop command to monitor the client connection, no response is required by the client to the TN3270 server. However, the TCP/IP stack can detect that the physical connection still exists. This command is useful for those clients that can be swapped out when a DO TIMING-MARK has been sent by the TN3270 server. If the client is swapped out and cannot respond to the DO TIMING-MARK from the TN3270 server, the session is disconnected. However, if the client is swapped out and the Telnet nop command is sent by the server, the physical connection is still verifiable by the TCP/IP stack and the client remains connected to the server.
If your client supports the use of timing-marks and is not subject to being swapped out, then using timing-marks is preferable to the Telnet nop command for keepalive monitoring. The required response by TN3270 clients to timing-marks sent by the server provides a better indication of the health of the client-server connection.
Examples
The following example specifies that the TN3270 server transmits a DO TIMING-MARK in 15-minute (900-second) intervals and the client must respond within 30 seconds (the default value for the timing-mark max-response-time command when not specified):
keepalive 900
The following example entered in TN3270 configuration mode specifies that the TN3270 server transmits a DO TIMING-MARK in 30-minute (1800-second) intervals (the default interval) and the client must respond within 30 seconds (the default for the timing-mark max-response-time command when not specified):
no keepalive
The following example specifies that the TN3270 server transmits a DO TIMING-MARK in 40-minute (2400-second) intervals and the client must respond within 1 minute (60 seconds):
keepalive 2400 send timing-mark 60
Consider the following example in which the keepalive command is configured in more than one command mode. In this example the keepalive command is first configured in TN3270 server configuration mode, followed by Listen-point PU configuration mode. The keepalive command values specified under the listen-point PU overrides the keepalive 300 value specified under the tn3270-server for PU1. In this example, all other PUs except PU1 use the value of the keepalive 300 command specified in TN3270 configuration mode.

Command
Description
To define and activate a link to a host, use the link DLUR SAP configuration command. Use the no form of this command to delete the link definition.
link name [rmac rmac] [rsap rsap]
Syntax Description
name Link name, from one to eight alphanumeric characters. The first character must be alphabetic. The name must be unique within the DLUR function. rmac rmac (Optional) Remote MAC address of the form xxxx.xxxx.xxxx in hexadecimal. If not specified, a loopback link to another SAP on the same internal LAN adapter is assumed. rsap rsap (Optional) Remote SAP address, 04 to FC in hexadecimal. The rsap value must be even and should be a multiple of 4, but this requirement is not enforced. The default value for the rsap argument is 04.
Defaults
No DLUR link is defined.
The default remote SAP address is 04 (hexadecimal).

Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. The combination of rmac and rsap must be unique within the DLUR SAP function. These values can only be changed by deleting the link definition, using the no link command, and recreating the link definition.
For a link via a channel on this CMCC adapter, the TN3270 server and the hosts should open different adapters. Using different adapters avoids any contention for SAP numbers, and is also necessary if you configure duplicate MAC addresses for fallback CSNA or CMPC access to the host.
Examples
The following example defines a link name and a remote SAP address:
link LINK5 rsap 08
The following example shows different adapter numbers configured on the same internal LAN to avoid SAP contention. The host uses SAP 4 on Token Ring adapter 0.
lan tokenring 0 adapter 0 4000.0000.0001 adapter 1 4000.0000.0002 tn3270-server dlur ... lsap token-adapter 1 link HOST rmac 4000.0000.0001 rsap 4

Modification
Usage Guidelines
Use the listen-point command to create a unique listen point for every IP address and TCP-port pair. In this mode, the IP address and the TCP port are no longer configured in the PU. Configure the PUs under the appropriate listen point. The other siftdown configuration commands remain the same.
For example, in the old configuration the following statements were used to configure the IP address and TCP port in the PU:
tn3270-server pu PU1 94223456 10.10.10.1 tok 1 08 tcp-port 40 keepalive 10
In the new listen-point configuration, the following statements are used to configure the IP address and TCP port at the listen point:
tn3270-server
listen-point 10.10.10.1 tcp-port 40
pu PU1 94223456 tok 1 08
keepalive 10
You can also use the listen-point configuration to assign the same IP address to multiple PUs. In the old configuration the following statements were used:
tn3270-server pu PU1 94201231 10.10.10.2 tok 1 10 pu PU2 94201232 10.10.10.3 tok 1 12 pu PU3 94201234 10.10.10.3 tok 1 14 pu PU4 94201235 10.10.10.4 tok 1 16 tcp-port 40 pu PU5 94201236 10.10.10.4 tok 2 08
In the new listen point configuration, the old statements are replaced by the following configuration commands. In this example, PU2 and PU3 are grouped into one listen point because they have the same IP address. Note that even though PU4's IP address is identical to PU5's IP address, they are not configured within the same listen point because the listen point indicates a unique IP address and TCP port pair. If you do not specify the TCP port, the default port value is 23.
tn3270-server listen-point 10.10.10.2 pu PU1 94201231 tok 1 10 listen-point 10.10.10.3 pu PU2 94201232 tok 1 12 pu PU3 94201234 tok 1 14 listen-point 10.10.10.4 pu PU5 94201236 tok 2 08 listen-point 10.10.10.4 tcp-port 40 pu PU4 94201235 tok 1 16
The next example shows how the configuration changes for a DLUR PU. In this mode, the DLUR PU is no longer configured under DLUR, but is configured in the listen point.
In the old configuration, the following statements were used:
tn3270-server dlur NETA.RTR1 NETA.HOST dlus-backup NETA.HOST lsap token-adapter 15 08 link MVS2TN rmac 4000.b0ca.0016 pu PU1 017ABCDE 10.10.10.6
These statements are replaced by the following statements in the new listen-point configuration. The keyword dlur differentiates the listen-point direct PU from the listen point DLUR PU. The DLUR configuration must be completed before configuring the PU in the listen-point. Any siftdown commands configured within the scope of the listen point are automatically inherited by the PUs that are configured within the scope of that listen point. To override the siftdown configurations, you can explicitly configure the siftdown configuration commands within the scope of the listen-point PU.
tn3270-server dlur NETA.RTR1 NETA.HOST dlus-backup NETA.HOST lsap token-adapter 15 08 link MVS2TN rmac 4000.b0ca.0016 listen-point 10.10.10.6 pu PU1 017ABCDE dlur
Examples
Following is an example of the listen-point command showing PU7 grouped into the listen point at IP address 10.10.10.1 and TCP port 40:
tn3270-server listen-point 10.10.10.1 tcp-port 40 pu PU7 94201237 tok 1 17

The value must be even and should normally be a multiple of four. It must be unique within the internal adapter in that no other 802.2 clients of that adapter, in the router or in a host, should be allocated the same SAP. The default value is C0.

Usage Guidelines
The lsap command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. If the SAP in the SNA session switch function is already created, the lsap command with no arguments puts you in DLUR SAP configuration mode.
The lsap command can be entered only in DLUR configuration mode.
The lsap command uses values that are defined in two other commands: the lan internal LAN configuration command and the adapter internal LAN configuration command. The lan type and adapter adapter-number values configured on the CMCC internal LAN interface are used in the lsap command. However, the lan type keyword is a little different. Where the value for the type argument on the lan command is tokenring, the corresponding value for the type argument on lsap is token-adapter. This emphasizes that the number that follows is an adapter number, not a lan number.
The no lsap command hierarchically deletes any links using it. Any sessions using those links are lost.
Examples
The following example defines an adapter type, an adapter number, and a local SAP:
lsap token 0 B0

Modification
Usage Guidelines
Use the always keyword of the lu deletion command when you have only screen LUs, but they are all of different sizes. This prevents screen LUs from attaching to a previously used LU with an incompatible screen size designated by a previous session.
Use the normal keyword of the lu deletion command when you have both screen and printer LUs. This is important because printers are acquired by the host application and are not logged on manually. If VTAM deletes the LU, then there is nothing for a host application (such as CICS) to acquire.
You can use the non-generic mode of LU deletion if VTAM can support deletion of specifically-named LUs. (The support of this mode is not currently available in VTAM, as of VTAM version 4.4.1.)
Use the never mode of LU deletion when you have only screen LUs and they all use the same screen size.
Examples
Following is an example of the lu deletion command specifying that the TN3270 server sends a REPLY-PSID poweroff request to delete only screen LUs upon session disconnect for any PUs supported by the TN3270 server:
tn3270-server lu deletion normal

Modification
Usage Guidelines
Use the termself keyword when you want to be sure that the application terminates the session when the LU disconnects. This is important for certain applications such as CICS.
If you use the unbind keyword for session termination with applications such as CICS, VTAM security problems can arise. When CICS terminates a session from an UNBIND request, the application may reestablish a previous user's session with a new user, who is now assigned to the same freed LU.
Examples
Following is an example of the lu termination configuration command to force termination of the session when an LU disconnects for any PUs supported by the TN3270 server:
tn3270-server lu termination termself
To limit the number of LU control blocks that will be allocated for the TN3270 server, use the maximum-lus TN3270 server configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value.
maximum-lus number
Syntax Description
number Maximum number of LU control blocks allowed. The allowed range is 0 to 32000. However, the practical upper limit for concurrently operating TN3270 sessions depends on the hardware and usage characteristics. The default is 2100.
Defaults
Because of the license structure, the default is 2100, which represents the limit of the lower-priced license (2000) plus a five percent buffer. If you configure a value greater than the default, a license reminder is displayed.
Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
The maximum-lus command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. Although the value may be varied at any time, reducing it below the current number of LU control blocks will not release those blocks until a PU is inactivated by DACTPU or by using the no pu command.
If the number of LUs in use reaches 94% of the current setting of maximum-lus, a warning message is displayed on the console. To prevent redundant messages, the threshold for generating such messages is raised for a period.
The TN3270 server attempts to allocate one LU control block for each LU activated by the hosts. In the case of dynamic definition of dependent LU (DDDLU) the control block is allocated when the client requests the LU, in anticipation of an ACTLU from the SSCP host.
By limiting the number of LU control blocks allocated, you can make sure enough memory is available to support other CMCC functions. The control blocks themselves take about 1K bytes per LU. During session activity, a further 2K per LU may be needed for data. On a CIP, 32 MB of memory will support 4000 LUs. To support more than 4000 LUs, we recommend 64 MB of memory. On an XCPA, 8 MB of memory supports 1000 LUs.
Examples
The following example allows 5000 LU control blocks to be allocated:
maximum-lus 5000

Modification
Usage Guidelines
The pool and allocate lu commands enable the TN3270 server to know the relationships between screen and printer LUs. These commands are an alternative to the LU nailing feature that allows clients to be nailed to LUs.
The pool command is configured in the TN3270 scope. The pool command provides the pool names and the definitions of the number of screens and printers in one logical cluster. Each pool statement must have a unique pool name.
The TN3270 server validates pool names when configuring a pool name and when processing the name received on a CONNECT request from the client. The TN3270 server rejects an invalid name and truncates the name received in the CONNECT request from the client to eight characters or at an invalid character (whichever comes first) when processing the CONNECT request.
When using a pool command to create a cluster, a combination of the following values is used in the layout-spec-string:
Use the following format to define the layout-spec-string, where decimal_num is a decimal number between 1 and 255:
pool poolname cluster layout {decimal_nums}{decimal_nump}{decimal_numa}
The total sum of the numbers must be less than or equal to 255. No spaces are used between the entries in the layout-spec-string. The default is 1a, which defines 1 screen or 1 printer. A screen, printer, or a wildcard definition cannot be followed by a definition of the same type. A screen definition can only be followed by a printer or wildcard. Similarly, a printer definition can be followed only by a wildcard or a screen definition.
The following are examples of invalid layout-spec-string values, and the corresponding corrected specification:
The combination of a screen, printer, and wildcard constitute a group. The layout-spec-string can support a maximum of 4 groups.
Consider the following example:
pool CISCO cluster layout 2s3p4a5s6a7s8p9s
There are 4 groups in this definition: 2s3p4a, 5s6a, 7s8p and 9s.
Pools must be defined before any pool references under the listening points are defined. Also, pools must be defined before they are referenced by other statements in the configuration. Failure to define the pool before it is referenced will cause the referencing configuration to be rejected.
Pools that are deleted (using the no form of the command) will cause all statements referencing the pool to be deleted.
The following criteria apply to the creation of pool names and LOCADDRs:
The following example uses the pool command to create two pools, pcpool and unixpool:
tn3270-server pool pcpool cluster layout 4s1p pool unixpool cluster layout 49s1p listen-point 10.20.30.40 client ip 10.10.10.2 pool pcpool pu PU1 91903315 dlur allocate lu 1 pool pcpool clusters 50 pu PU2 91903345 dlur allocate lu 1 pool unixpool clusters 5
In this example, the pcpool contains a cluster of 4 screens and 1 printer per cluster. The total number of devices in a cluster cannot exceed 255, therefore the pcpool contains a total of 50 clusters with each cluster containing 5 LUs. Note that the remaining 5 LUs automatically go to the generic pool.
The unixpool contains 49 screens and 1 printer per cluster. The total number of devices in a cluster cannot exceed 255, therefore the unixpool contains a total of 5 clusters with each cluster containing 50 LUs. Again, note that the last 5 LUs automatically go to the generic pool.

The preferred-nnserver command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. Fully qualified names consist of two case-insensitive alphanumeric strings, separated by a period. However, for compatibility with existing APPN products, including VTAM, the characters "#" (pound), "@" (at), and "$" (dollar) are allowed in the fully qualified name strings. Each string is from one to eight characters long; for example, RA12.NODM1PP. The portion of the name before the period is the NETID and is shared between entities in the same logical network.
When no preferred server is specified, the DLUR will request NN server support from the first suitable node with which it makes contact. If refused, it will try the next one, and so on.
If a preferred server is specified, then DLUR will wait a short time to allow a link to the preferred server to materialize. If the preferred server is not found in that time, any suitable node can be used, as above.
DLUR will not relinquish the current NN server merely because the preferred server becomes available.

The following example configures the TN3270 server to be active and has one PU, CAPPU1, trying to connect. An LU seed using hexadecimal digits is defined.
tn3270-server pu CAPPU1 05D18101 token-adapter 3 04 rmac 4000.0501.0001 lu-seed CAP01L##
The following example shows different adapter numbers configured on the same internal LAN to avoid SAP contention. The host uses SAP 4 on Token Ring adapter 0.
lan tokenring 0 adapter 0 4000.0000.0001 adapter 1 4000.0000.0002 tn3270-server listen-point 10.20.30.40 pu PU1 05d00001 token-adapter 1 8 rmac 4000.0000.0001 rsap 4
Related Commands
adapter Configures internal adapters. lan Configures an internal LAN on a CMCC adapter interface and enters internal LAN configuration mode.

Command
Description
To create a PU entity that has its own direct link to a host, or to enter PU configuration mode, use the pu TN3270 server configuration command. Use the no form of this command to remove the PU entity.
pu pu-name idblk-idnum ip-address type adapter-number lsap [rmac rmac] [rsap rsap] [lu-seed lu-name-stem]
Syntax Description
pu-name Name that uniquely identifies this PU. idblk-idnum The value for this argument must match the IDBLK-IDNUM value defined at the host. The value must be unique within the subarea; however, the TN3270 Server cannot tell which remote hosts are in which subareas and does not enforce the unique value requirement. ip-address IP address that the clients should use as host IP address to map to LU sessions under this PU. type Internal adapter type on the CIP card, which corresponds to the value specified in the lan internal LAN configuration command. The currently supported type is token-adapter. adapter-number Internal adapter interface on the CIP card, which is the same value specified in the adapter internal LAN configuration command. lsap Local SAP number in hexadecimal, ranging from 04 to FC. The value must be even, and must be unique within the internal adapter so that no other 802.2 clients of that adapter, in the router or in a host, should be allocated the same SAP. Other direct links from TN3270 server direct PUs may use the same value on the internal adapter as long as the remote MAC or SAP is different. rmac rmac (Optional) Remote MAC address. The remote MAC address of the form xxxx.xxxx.xxxx hexadecimal, specifying the MAC address of the remote host. If not specified, a loopback link to another SAP on the same internal LAN adapter is assumed. rsap rsap (Optional) Remote SAP address. The remote SAP address is a one- or two-character hexadecimal string, ranging from 04 to FC, specifying the SAP address of the remote host. The default is 04. lu-seed lu-name-stem (Optional) Provides an LU name that the client can use when a specific LU name request is needed. The format can be x...x## or x...x### where x..x is an alphanumeric string. When ## is specified, it is replaced with the LU LOCADDR in hexadecimal digits to form the complete LU name. When ### is specified, decimal digits are used, padded with leading zeroes to make three characters. The first x must be alphabetic and the entire string, including the # symbols, must not exceed 8 characters.
Defaults
No PU is defined.
The default remote SAP address is 04 (hexadecimal).

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
The pu pu-name command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. If the PU is already created, the pu pu-name command with no arguments puts you in PU configuration mode, where you can modify an existing PU entity.
The pu (TN3270) command uses values that are defined in two other commands: the lan internal LAN configuration command and the adapter internal LAN configuration command. The lan type and adapter adapter-number values configured on the CIP internal LAN interface are used in the pu command.
For a link via a channel on this CMCC adapter, the TN3270 server and the hosts should open different adapters. Using different adapters avoids any contention for SAP numbers, and is also necessary if you configure duplicate MAC addresses for fallback CSNA or CMPC access to the host.
Examples
The following example configures the TN3270 server to be active, and has one PU, CAPPU1, trying to connect in. An LU seed using hexadecimal digits is defined.
tn3270-server pu CAPPU1 05D18101 10.14.20.34 token-adapter 3 rmac 4000.0501.0001 lu-seed CAP01L##
The following example shows different adapter numbers configured on the same internal LAN to avoid SAP contention. The host uses SAP 4 on token ring adapter 0.
lan tokenring 0 adapter 0 4000.0000.0001 adapter 1 4000.0000.0002 tn3270-server pu PU1 05d00001 10.0.0.1 token-adapter 1 8 rmac 4000.0000.0001 rsap 4

Description
Syntax Description
pu-name Name that uniquely identifies this PU. idblk-idnum Value for this argument must match the IDBLK-IDNUM value defined at the host. The value must be unique within the subarea; however, the TN3270 server generally cannot tell which remote hosts are in which subareas, so the server only enforces uniqueness within the set of DLUR PUs.
Defaults
No PU is defined.
Command Modes
Listen-point configuration

11.2 This command was introduced. 11.2(18)BC Listen-point PU configuration was added. 12.0(5)T This command was migrated to Cisco IOS Release 12.0 T.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
If the PU is already created, the pu dlur command without any arguments starts listen-point PU configuration mode. In this mode you can modify an existing listen-point DLUR PU entity.
You should define the DLUR before you configure the listen-point DLUR PU.
A typical usage for the IP address is to reserve an IP address for each application. For example, clients wanting to connect to TSO specify an IP address that is defined with PUs that have LOGAPPL=TSO.
Examples
The following example defines three PUs in the listen point with an IP address of 172.18.4.18:
tn3270-server listen-point 172.18.4.18 pu p0 05D99001 dlur pu p1 05D99002 dlur pu p2 05D99003 dlur
Related Commands
dlur Enables the SNA session switch function on the CMCC adapter, or enters DLUR configuration mode. Defines an IP address for the TN3270 server.
Command
Description

response-time group name [bucket boundaries t1 t2 t3 t4...] [multiplier m]
Syntax Description
name Alphanumeric string for the response-time group name. The maximum length of the name is 24 characters. Lower or uppercase letters can be used. bucket boundaries t1 t2 t3 t4 (Optional) Unsigned 32-bit quantity that defines a bucket boundary in tenths of seconds. For other types of client groups, the bucket boundaries and multiplier values are fixed to the following defaults: multiplier m (Optional) Number in the range of 1 to 5760, which when multiplied by the sample interval of 20 seconds, determines the collection interval.
Defaults
Bucket boundaries and the multiplier value are fixed to the following defaults:

Usage Guidelines
Multiple response-time groups can be configured within the scope of available memory. When using this command, up to 1024 IP subnets can be defined per response-time group with the client ip command. All TN3270 clients belonging to subnets configured within a specific response-time group are added to the response-time group when they connect as clients.
If the IP address and mask combination already exists within any response-time group, the following error message is displayed:
Subnet 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.248 already exists in client group MYSUBNET
In the following example, the response-time group MYSUBNET is configured:

Usage Guidelines
This command shows information about client subnet client groups. This includes all configured groups plus the CLIENT SUBNET OTHER group. If no optional parameters are specified, a complete list of client subnet client groups is displayed along with their collection control parameters. If you specify values for the ip-address and ip-mask arguments, only client groups containing that subnet are displayed. If you specify the detail keyword, each client group entry is followed by a list of its client members and their response-time statistics.
Examples
Following is an example of the output for all configured client groups using the show extended channel tn3270-server response-time subnet command:

![]() |
Note The aggregate, excludeip, and dynamic definite response field values are MIB parameters that are currently configured automatically by the TN3270 server according to the type of response-time group. These values are not configurable in the TN3270 server. |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
subnet | Displays the IP address and IP mask of the client subnet group for which response-time statistics are being shown. |
aggregate | Displays whether the response time statistics for the clients in this response-time group are reported collectively for the group (YES) or individually by client (NO). This value is automatically set to NO by the TN3270 server for subnet client response-time groups. |
excludeip | Displays whether the IP component (the client/server path) is included in the response time for any transaction (NO) or if only the SNA component (the server/host path) is included in the response time for any transaction (YES). This value is automatically set to NO by the TN3270 server for subnet client response-time groups. |
dynamic definite response | Displays whether the server adds a Definite Response request to the First-in-chain (FIC) reply in each transaction, to get a response from the client so that the IP component can be included in the response time. The value is automatically set to NO by the TN3270 server for all types of response-time groups. |
sample period multiplier | Displays the number that is multiplied by an interval of 20 seconds to determine the collection interval for the response-time group. The multiplier value is defined using the response-time group command. For example, a sample period multiplier of 30 results in a collection interval of 600 seconds (30 x 20 seconds), or 10 minutes, for this client group. |
bucket boundaries | Displays the value of the response-time bucket boundaries in tenths of seconds. The bucket boundaries are defined using the response-time group command. |
buckets | Displays the number of transactions in each response-time bucket for the specified application group. |
average total response time | Displays the average response time (in tenths of seconds) for the total number of response-time transactions. |
average IP response time | Displays the average response time in tenths of seconds (including IP transit time) for the total number of response-time transactions. |
number of transactions | Displays the total number of response-time transactions across all response-time buckets. |

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
The vrn command is valid only on the virtual channel interface. This command is used to discover routes without having to configure all possible links.
A connection network is also known as a shared-access transport facility (SATF). This means, at the MAC level, that all nodes in the network can reach each other using the same addressing scheme and without requiring the services of SNA session routing. A bridged LAN (whether source-route or transparent) is an example. Such a network is represented in the APPN topology as a kind of node, termed a virtual routing node (VRN).
To make use of this function, all APPN nodes must use the same VRN name for the SATF.
Refer to the VTAM operating system documentation for your host system for additional information regarding the VTAM VNGROUP and VNNAME parameters on the PORT statement of an XCA major node.
Several parameters in the DLUR configuration mode consist of fully qualified names, as defined by the APPN architecture. Fully qualified names consist of two case-insensitive alphanumeric strings, separated by a period. However, for compatibility with existing APPN products, including VTAM, the characters "#" (pound), "@" (at), and "$" (dollar) are allowed in the fully qualified name strings. Each string is from one to eight characters long; for example, RA12.NODM1PP. The portion of the name before the period is the NETID and is shared between entities in the same logical network.
Examples
The following example sets a VRN name:
vrn SYD.BLAN25
