Configuring an SDLC XID
An XID identifies a device in an SNA system. When you configure an SDLC connection, pay attention to the types of the connected SNA devices. Devices in an SNA system include the following types: PU2.0 and PU2.1. An XID has been configured on PU2.1 devices, so they can announce their identity by exchanging the XID. A PU2.0 device does not come with an XID. An XID is not required on a PU2.1 device, but required on a PU2.0 device.
