When Systems Network Architecture (SNA) support is added to the CIP, what will the CIP look like to the mainframe?
A. The SNA support on the CIP will make it look like a 3172. In other words, the CIP appears to the mainframe as a set of external LAN adapters. Support is provided for physical unit type 2 (PU2), PU2.1, PU4, and PU5 just as if they were LAN-attached to a 3172. Neither the 3172 nor the CIP present a PU image to the mainframe. They appear as a set of external communication adapter (XCA) Switched Major Nodes to virtual telecommunications access method (VTAM).
