The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0 or later
SUMMARY
SNA Server 3.0 includes the new LINKCFG command-line tool to install SNA
Server link services. Prior to this release, link service installation
could only be performed using the SNA Server 3.0 Manager program, or
using the "LINKSET" program to install back-level link services.
The following steps are required to install and use a link service using
the SNA Server LINKCFG and SNACFG command-line configuration tools:
- Use LINKCFG to install the SNA Server link service. This installs the
necessary files in the <snaroot>\system directory, adds the required
Windows NT registry settings, and runs the Windows NT network control
panel bindings.
2. Use "SNACFG LINK ..." to define the link service in the SNA Server
configuration file.
3. Use "SNACFG CONNECTION ..." to create a new connection in the
configuration file and associate the new link service with the
connection.
MORE INFORMATION
The following example shows how to use the LINKCFG and SNACFG commands
to install a distributed link service:
- Installing the remote link service using LINKCFG:
C:\>linkcfg LINKSVC "SnaRem1" /SERVER:STEVED2 /LSTYPE:"Distributed
Link Service" /REMOTELINKTYPE:TokenRing802.2
/REMOTELIST:\\truth\snadlc3 /DOMAIN:STEVED2_DOMAIN
/USERID:snaservice /PASSWORD:snaservice
The above command installs a link service name of "SnaRem1" to server
STEVED2 to run under a user account of STEVED2_DOMAIN\snaservice, pointing
to a distributed link on \\TRUTH\SNADLC3.
- Define the link service to the configuration file using SNACFG:
C:\>snacfg link STEVED2:SnaRem1 /ADD /LINKTYPE:Token
The above command defines the SnaRem1 link service to the SNA Server
configuration file.
- Define a connection to use this link service:
C:\>snacfg connection TRUTH /ADD /SERVER:STEVED2 /LINKSERVICE:SnaRem1
/CONNTYPE:802.2 /REMOTEEND:Host /REMOTENETADDR:400017001100
/LOCALBLOCKNO:017 /LOCALNODENO:10001
The above command creates a new connection called TRUTH on STEVED2, and
associates the connection to the SnaRem1 link service. Note that the
various connection properties will vary depending on the host
configuration settings, such as /REMOTENETADDR, /LOCALBLOCKNO, and
/LOCALNODENO, though these are included to show a complete example.
