Checking the IBM AnyNet Configuration Parameters

Troubleshooting

Problem

This document provides information about checking the IBM AnyNet configuration parameters.

Resolving The Problem

=============================================================================
Important Note: Starting in i 7.1, AnyNet (a method used to run SNA communications traffic over IP) is no longer supported. Users of AnyNet are encouraged to migrate to Enterprise Extender as a replacement. For information about migrating to Enterprise Extender from AnyNet, see the Migrating from AnyNet to Enterprise Extender topic in the IBM i Information Center.
=============================================================================

To check the IBM AnyNet configuration parameters, do the following:

1.	Ensure the controller description (CTLD) has the following two fields: o Remote Control Point Name - This must be unique throughout the entire network. o Remote Network ID - This has to match the following things: - Local Network ID of the remote system. - Network ID portion of the Host Table (CFGTCP, Option 10).
2.	On the local system, the remote configuration list entry must point to the CTLD that points at the target. On the remote system, the remote configuration list entry must point to the CTLD that points at the source.
