SUMMARY
SNA Server versions 3.0 and 4.0 include 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.
- Use "SNACFG LINK ..." to define the link service in the SNA Server configuration file.
- 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
NOTE: This is a single command line. Line breaks are inserted here for readability. - Define the link service to the configuration file using SNACFG:
C:\>snacfg link STEVED2:SnaRem1 /ADD /LINKTYPE:Token
- 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
NOTE: This is a single command line. Line breaks are inserted here for readability.
