This article was previously published under Q165939
SYMPTOMS
In previous versions of SNA Server, 3270 LUs could not be assigned to
IP addresses. This feature will be available in the next Service Pack
for SNA Server version 3.0.
CAUSE
Microsoft SNA Server was not originally designed to support assigning
3270 LUs to IP addresses.
RESOLUTION
The option to assign LUs and LU Pools to the following address types will
be supported in the next Service Pack for SNA Server version 3.0: IP, IPX,
Vines IP, and AppleTalk. The workstation property page allows a choice from
three types of Workstation IDs: a name, an address (IP, IPX, AppleTalk,
Banyan Vines), or an IP subnet. If an IP subnet is entered, an IP subnet
mask is also required.
IP Address
The IP address is specified in the familiar dotted decimal format. An
example of the dotted decimal address is:
IPX Address
The IPX address is the MAC address of the client's network adapter. An
example of this address is:
Vines IP Address
The Vines IP address is specified in the format
<network_number>.<subnetwork_number>
where both are in hexadecimal format. The network_number length is 4 bytes
and the subnetwork_number length is 2 bytes. An example of this address is:
AppleTalk Address
The AppleTalk address is specified in the format
where both are in decimal format. The network length is 2 bytes (0 - 65535)
and the node length is 1 byte (0 - 255). An example of this address is:
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on
