Configuring DLSw Services
2-10
303523-A Rev. 00
Multiple DLSw Peers on a LAN
You can configure two or more DLSw nodes on the same SRB LAN. With this
configuration, each DLSw peer reaches a different set of remote NetBIOS and
SNA systems. In this case:
Do not define a TCP connection between these Data Link Switches.
Assign the same virtual ring IDs to each peer.
Taking these precautions prevents frames sent by one DLSw node from
propagating through the other DLSw node on the same SRB LAN.
Memory Requirements
DLSw provides buffering of LLC2 packets in single-switch mode, and additional
buffering of TCP packets in dual-switch mode. Therefore, DLSw can use a
significant amount of memory.
To limit the memory consumption, Bay Networks provides several mechanisms,
including:
LLC2 Max Links parameter, allowing the network administrator to limit the
number of LLC2 stations per interface. Refer to Configuring LLC Services.
DLSw Max Slot Sessions parameter, allowing the network administrator to
limit the number of LLC2 stations per slot. See Chapter 5
for instructions on
accessing and editing the Max Slot Sessions (DLSw global) parameter.
For more information about DLSw memory usage, contact the Bay Networks
Technical Support Center.
Note:
Do not configure multiple data link switches on an Ethernet/802.3
LAN. DLSw over Ethernet/802.3 LANs does not provide loop prevention.
