DLSw uses local device entries to define SDLC-attached SNA physical units
(PUs) to the router. NetBIOS does not support SDLC-attached devices.
To take advantage of integrated SDLC services in DLSw, you must define the
SDLC devices that you want to appear as natively attached to the LAN. When you
define such devices, you map the devices to LAN MAC and SAP addresses.
You can add local devices at the following times:
• When you add SDLC to a synchronous circuit and add the DLSw protocol to
that circuit.
• When you edit a synchronous circuit that already has SDLC and DLSw on it.
• When you edit DLSw interface parameters. In this case, the interface whose
parameters you edit must already have at least one local device defined on it.
Several local device parameters must match other entries in the router, or in the
attached SDLC device. These include:
• Link Station Address (hex)
• PU Type
• IDBLOCK
• IDNUM
• XID Format
• Source (Virtual) MAC (hex)
• Destination (Host) MAC (hex)
• Source (Virtual) SAP (hex)
• Destination (Host) SAP (hex)
For information about these parameters, refer to Appendix A, “DLSw Service
Parameters.”
For each local device that you add, Site Manager creates a corresponding SDLC
link station, which is how SDLC sees the local device. Site Manager assigns
several default parameter values to the link station. For information about how to
access and change the link station parameters, see Configuring SDLC Services.
Once you add local devices, you can access and change the local device
parameters, as described in Chapter 4, “Customizing DLSw Services.”
