7085.0. "Token-Ring though 3174 using Peer Server" by VAXSPO::TONY (And the winner is... WINDOWS NT) Mon May 05 1997 16:12

Hi,

I configured an Alphaserver 4100 with a token-ring controller attached to a 
3174, but we couldn't put this configuration to run. I followed the hints on 
notes 5869.* and 6597.*, still nothing became active (link, tg, etc).
We think the token-ring physical layer is fine because it has TCP/IP up and 
running on this interface. 

Below is our software versions:

Peer Server v1.3
Digital Unix v3.2g

The following is the actual status of my link:

	ncl> show llc2 sap sna-0 link link-0 all

	state			= on
	Protocol State  	= Halted
	Remote LLC Class	= Unknown

We changed the Transmission Group to Permanent and then we started to send
XID as reported on note 6597.*

The customer has a RS6000 today running on the same 3174 IBM controller and 
every time we test our Alpha with the same cable, but in our case nothing
became active. 

I have some doubts:

	1 - Is this configuration supported/usual, I mean a TRN connection
	    to a 3174 IBM controller ? ? ?
	2 - On note 6597.2 the solution was to change the TG conn type to 
	    "Permanent" and do the same at IBM side.
            I asked to our customer to do the same on his 
	    side, but he said that becouse they are using the TRN though
	    a 3174 they don't have such parameter. And he also said that
	    a RS6000 are running without with this TRN link.
	    My questing: is that possible ? ? ?

Please any help will be very appreciated ! ! !

Thanks ! ! !

Tony,

First the questions:

	NO

	Setting the transmission group connection type to "permanent"
	means that the Transmission Group is activated when it is enabled
        and remains active until it is disabled.  This is why you see XID's
	flowing now.  It should not have anything to do with the IBM side.



There have been some discussions about this configuration in the notes
file, but without more information we can not determine what
is going on.  Please provide:  

1) A CTF trace of the sap link when you try to bring the link up.


2) The following ncl output for the sap link while trying to bring it 		
   up.

	ncl> show llc2 sap sna-0 link link-0 all

	ncl> show llc2 sap sna-0 all

	ncl> show sna cp serv t g * all


3) If you can, include the Peer Server ncl startup script.


Thanks,

Hi,                             

I am at the customer site and now we have the information that you
requested to better understand what's going on.

I noted looking at ctf trace file that we are sending "NXID", is it right ?
I mean we are supposed to send "NXID" ? ? ?
If not, how we can change it to send XID ? ? ?
What else could be wrong ? ? ?

Again, thank you very much for your attention ! ! !

7085.4Trace form RS6000 already running ! ! !VAXSPO::TONYAnd the winner is... WINDOWS NTThu May 08 1997 14:33845
Hi,

I don't  know if it helps, but last night after almost two hours of hard work
(no manuals) we started a trace on RS6000 that has this configuration running.
Could you please take a look to see if we discover what's different on their 
connection that make it works ! ! ! 

Thanks for ANY help ! ! !

Tony,

I ran your NCL file here and everything looks ok.  The PU became active.
It does not look like a peer server problmem. 

You said that an RS6000 is using the same cable, but when you plug the same
cable to the ALPHA server, the connection does not become active. Questions ?  

Is the address that the 3174 has defined for the downstream PU (for the ALPHA)
correct ?  Does it match the tok address for the AlPHA ?  This should be
worksheet 940 for the 3174.

Is this down stream address the same for both the ALPHA and the RS6000 ? 


Jim Kelly


7085.6EDSCLU::KELLYThu May 08 1997 15:4830
Tony,

Thanks for the RS6000 trace. Hopefully it will help clarify the questions in 
the previous note.


ALPHA |
      |tra0 addr = 400000000004 >>------------<<  3174 addr = 400031740111
RS6000|


1)	Check to see what the ALPHA token ring address is:

	netstat -Itra0

Name  Mtu   Network     Address               Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs  Coll
tra0  4092  DLI         none                    779     0      357     0     0
tra0  4092  <Link>      00:00:93:08:52:9f       779     0      357     0     0

Unless there is a specific downstream PU address set up for the ALPHA server,
the address needs to be 400000000004 not 00:00:93:08:52:9f (a universal
address). In any case make sure the tra0 address on the ALPHA and the
downstream PU address on the 3174 match.  I am sure it is easier to change the
token ring address on the ALPHA.

I think you are right ! ! !

RE: .5

Sorry, if I let you think this. The RS6000 is using the same 3174 controller,
line, pu, etc. When we start our test, first I shutdown the SNA on RS6000 
and after, start our Peer Server. Btw, we are all connected on the same MAU, 
but using different cables and the cable is fine because I can ping (TCP/IP) 
all systems in the TRN MAU.

Great ! ! !
I think this is the point. Looking at RS6000 SNA definition, pure token-ring
configuration and the trace file from note ".4" we realize they created a
fake mac address "40-00-00-00-00-04" that match exacly with the address 
configured "INSIDE" 3174.
So, the point is: they are capable to create a ALTERNATE MAC ADDRESS, as
they call, on RS6000 and it avoids changes on 3174.

Questions:

	Is there any way to assign another mac address in our token-ring
        controller ? ? ? 
Obs:	We have some political issues to change the configuration of 3174...

	And if not, my MAC is 00-80-13-98-52-FA as reported by ncl.
        Do I need convert this address to canonical format before put this
        value INSIDE 3174 ? ? ?


Again, thanks for your attention ! ! !

Tony,

No one in our group has set up a locally administered MAC address
for DUNIX, I have posted a note for the Digital Unix group and asked them
if there is an easy way to do this. They usually reply within a day.
 
Jim Kelly
7085.9EDSCLU::KELLYFri May 09 1997 14:338
Tony,

I spoke with IBM support here and they suggested,  that if you were going to
add the MAC address to the 3174 that you add an entry for the canonical and
the unconverted MAC address.  That way you are covered in both cases.  We are
still waiting for a response from Digital Unix.

Jim Kelly
7085.10Now we can chamge our MAC, but...VAXSPO::TONYAnd the winner is... WINDOWS NTMon May 12 1997 18:0114
    Jim,
    
    We find a way to our change the MAC address from note 9768.4. 
    I deleted the DECnet modules that came with Peer Server and reinstalled
    from DECnet/OSI v3.2A (DNADLI320 and DNANETMAN320), but our situation
    are still the same and we stopped send XID's.
    We'll remove all Peeer Server and DECNET subsets and install again to
    see if we'll be back to send XID's
    
    I'll let you know ! ! ! 
    
    Again, thank you so much for your attention ! ! !

7085.11This should work.EDSCLU::KELLYTue May 13 1997 14:00107
Tony,

Tony,

I see that you have been following note 9768.  I have not tested this, but
according to DecNet Engineering, you should be able to upgrade to
DecNet OSI 3.2A or greater and be able to set the local token ring mac address.

I would recommend upgrading to DecNet OSI 3.2B (see note 9392 in Digital Unix).
Version 3.2A had some memory problems that were fixed in 3.2B.

======================================================================
note 9768.2
======================================================================

set up with NCL ?
        If yes then its a simple matter to :-

ncl set token ring station TRN-0 ring  station address 02-00-04-48-0E-80

Note that the address has to be re written, reverse the nibbles and
then the bits in each nibble.  ie 40 -> 02  00 -> 00 20 -> 04 12 -> 48
70 -> 0E  01 -> 80

======================================================================



After you have the system back. I would think the following should work.

1) Delete DecNet OSI modules (Use setld -i to make sure they are uninstalled)

2) Install DecNet OSI 3.2A or 3.2B

3) Rebuild the kernel using.

   /usr/sbin/t21setup kernel

4) After kernel rebuild reboot system to pick up the new kernel.

... upgrading the 3174 to config
        support-C and adding the APPN NN LIC should solve the problem - in
        this case, the 3174 would recognise the Peer Server as a T2.1 node,
        and we have been told by IBM support that the 3174 can handle
        downstream T2.1 nodes with both dependent andindependent LUs....

...Well, it really depends on the level of the software in the 3174 - it has
to be high enough to support APPN LEN nodes on the token-ring (level "C"
I think)...

The fix for the dna_dli has to be installed. For the DEC SNA Peer Server
the DLI is "static", means build into the kernel.
        /var/subsys/dna_dli.mod                 ( for dynamic load )
        /usr/sys/opt/DNADLI320/dna_dli.o        ( build into the kernel )


For DEC SNA Peer Server the fixed "/usr/sys/opt/DNADLI320/dna_dli.o" has
to be installed and a new Kerel has to be build. Changing
/var/subsys/dna_dli.mod has no effect for the Peer Server!

Customer test was o.k.

    Thanks Mike ...

    State of play as I see things  (MAC address change was successful
    yesterday) ...

    . DEC UNIX 3.2C and 3.2D and Peer Server 1.3-1 all use same dna_dli.o
    . DECnet/OSI 3.2-1 (equal to 3.2A) has the "MAC changeable/new" module

    . if you put the new module in /usr/sys/opt/DNADLI320 and then install
      Peer Server, Peer Server REPLACES the module (so one then has to copy
      the dna_dli.o module BACK onto the disk), and then do the kernel
      build.

Hi,

About your entry 7085.3

The Peer server is supose to send NXID ( Nul XID )
Then the other end shal answer with an NXID.

Then the Peer Server will send an XID3, ( this contains things like node type,
CP name, NETID and lost of other stoff )

Then the other end will answer with an XID3 also.

This can go an for a while, and they get allong.

	Best of luck.
