After you have selected SNA IMF configuration, NMMGR displays
the SNA IMF Configuration Screen, shown in Figure 3-3 “SNA IMF Configuration Screen”.
You can go directly to this screen from any screen by typing
@IMF in the command window and pressing [ENTER]. Here you select an SNA node that has already been configured
for SNA IMF, or configure an SNA node for SNA IMF. Figure 3-3 SNA IMF Configuration Screen Fields- Path
For display only. The NMMGR
branch you are in. - SNA Node Name
The name of the SNA node you want to configure for SNA
IMF, or the configured node whose security class configuration you
are modifying. The name can be up to eight alphanumeric characters
long; the first character must be alphabetic. Host Configuration: For troubleshooting
purposes, we strongly recommend that this match the puname operand of the PU macro that defines this node on the host (VTAM);
see Table 3-1 “ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Corresponding Values”. - New Name
The new name of an existing SNA node. The name can be
up to eight alphanumeric characters long; the first character must
be alphabetic. Host Configuration: For troubleshooting
purposes, we strongly recommend that this match the puname operand of the PU macro that defines this node on the host (VTAM);
see Table 3-1 “ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Corresponding Values”. Once you have entered the new name, press [f4] (Rename); the node is then renamed. - Configured SNA Nodes for SNA IMF
For display only. The names of the SNA nodes for
which SNA IMF has been configured. You can configure a maximum
256 nodes for SNA IMF in a configuration file (use [f1] [Next Page] to display more fields). The nodes listed must
also have been configured in the SNA node configuration; this is
checked when the validation is done. Validating the configuration
file is discussed earlier in this chapter. - File
For display only. The name
of the configuration file. Once you have entered the name of the node, press [f5] (Add) if this is a new configuration, or press [f6] (Modify) if you are modifying a configuration. This places
you at the SNA IMF Configuration: Security Classes screen.
Security Classes Screen | |
After you have selected an SNA node, NMMGR displays the SNA IMF Configuration:
Security Classes screen as shown in Figure 3-4 “Security Classes Screen”.
(You can go directly to this screen from any screen by typing
@IMF.nodename in the command window and pressing [ENTER].) Here you specify the security class you want to configure.
A class is a means of associating a set of LUs with a name and security
attributes. SNA IMF searches the configuration file and extracts
a list of LU names that correspond to the specified class name.
SNA IMF then passes the list to SNA Transport, which selects an
available LU from the list. Figure 3-4 Security Classes Screen Fields- Path
For display only. The NMMGR
path for this screen. It includes the name of the node you are configuring
the security class for. - Class Name
The name of the new security class you are configuring, or
the existing class whose configuration you are modifying. The name
can be up to eight alphanumeric characters long; the first character
must be alphabetic. - New Name
The new name of an existing security class. The
name can be up to eight alphanumeric characters long; the first
character must be alphabetic. Once you have entered the new name, press [f4] [Rename]; the class is then renamed. - Configured Security Classes (Under Node)
For display only. The names of the security classes
that have been configured for the SNA node you selected earlier.
A maximum 256 security classes can be configured (use [f5] [Next Page] to display more fields). - File
For display only. The name
of the configuration file. Once you have entered the class configuration information,
press [f5] (Add) if this is a new configuration, or press [f6] (Modify) if you are modifying a configuration. This places
you at the SNA IMF Configuration: Security Class Data screen.
Security Class Data Screen | |
After you have selected a security class, NMMGR displays the
SNA IMF Configuration: Security Class Data screen as shown in Figure 3-5 “Security Class Data Screen”. You can go directly to this screen from any
screen by typing @IMF.nodename.classname in the command window and pressing [ENTER]. Here you specify the LUs that belong to the security
class you selected earlier. Note that each LU is identified by its
configured LU Name instead of its NAU number. Figure 3-5 Security Class Data Screen Fields- Path
For display only. The NMMGR
path for this screen. It includes the names of the SNA node and
the security class you are configuring. - LU List for this Security Class
A list of up to 64 LUs that are to belong to the
security class you are configuring. Each LU is listed by its configured
LU Name, not its NAU number (LUs are configured on the
SNANode Configuration: LU Data screen). This is checked when the
validation is done. Validating the configuration file is discussed
earlier in this chapter. You can configure a total of 64 LUs per security class. You
can configure a total of 256 LUs per SNA node. Host Configuration: For troubleshooting
purposes, we strongly recommend that the LU names entered here match
the luname operands of the LU macro that defines these LUs in VTAM on the host;
see Table 3-1 “ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Corresponding Values”. If you use SNA IMF to communicate
with an IBM AS/400, we strongly recommend that the LU names entered
here match the names of the Device Descriptions on the AS/400; see Table 3-2 “AS/400 Corresponding Values”. - File
For display only. The name
of the configuration file. Once you have entered all of the LU names, press [f6] (Save Data). After the information is processed, press [f1] (Go To USERLIST) if you need to configure authorized users for
this security class; press [f2] (Go To PGMLIST) if you need to configure authorized programs
