Configuring DLSw Services
1-10
Figure 1-6 illustrates a DLSw dual switch-to-switch network with SDLC clients
using DLSw services at the local router to communicate over TCP/IP with a
remote host attached to a Token Ring LAN.
Figure 1-6. SDLC Conversion in a Dual Switch-to-Switch Configuration
In this example, the local router performs the following operations:
• Terminates the SDLC sessions
• Converts the SDLC traffic to DLSw Switch-to-Switch Protocol (SSP) format
for TCP/IP routing
• Forwards the traffic to the remote router
The DLSw remote router does the following:
• Converts the traffic to the appropriate format
• Sends the traffic to the destination host
In Figure 1-6, the SDLC clients appear to the network and to the Token Ring
LAN-attached host as if they were natively attached LAN devices.
