SUMMARY
Each DLC 802.2 link service that is installed on an SNA Server or Host Integration Server system has a unique link service name. The DLC 802.2 link service names are generated by using a base 16 algorithm with a one-digit index or a two-digit index, as shown in the following list:     SnaDlc1...SnaDlc9 SnaDlcA...SnaDlcF SnaDlc10...SnaDlc19 SnaDlc1A...SnaDlc1F SnaDlc20...SnaDlc29 SnaDlc2A...SnaDlc2F SnaDlc30...SnaDlc39 SnaDlc3A...SnaDlc3F ...



MORE INFORMATION
DLC 802.2 link service names in SNA Server 2.11 are generated by using a base 36 algorithm with a one-digit index or a two-digit index, as shown in the following list:     SnaDlc1...SnaDlc9 SnaDlcA...SnaDlcZ SnaDlc10...SnaDlc19 SnaDlc1A...SnaDlc1Z SnaDlc20...SnaDlc29 SnaDlc2A...SnaDlc2Z SnaDlc30...SnaDlc39 SnaDlc3A...SnaDlc3Z ... The SNA Server 2.11 naming algorithm for the DLC 802.2 link service names is described in the following Knowledge Base article:

131786 SNA Setup Fails When Installing 33rd DLC 802.2 Link Service

Because the DLC 802.2 link service name algorithm has changed, you may have to remove, re-add, or reconfigure some DLC 802.2 link services or Distributed Link Services (DLS) when you upgrade SNA Server systems that have DLC 802.2 link services and the SNA Server 2.11 link service name format.
