Cisco SNASw definitions

The Cisco SNASw router configuration is normally done by the WAN network administrator. However, the z/OS network administrator needs to provide input to these definitions.

The minimum required definition will include the following:

The IP addresses of the static VIPA that is used for EE
The interface in the router that are used for EE.
The location (NETID and CPNAME) of the primary and backup DLUS
All VTAM logmode and COSNAMEs names in use

Not all the required definitions are shown in Figure 1, but this gives you an idea of what type of parameters are set for Enterprise Extender.
