Configuring LAN-to-LAN DLSw

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 77, DLSw works in a LAN-LAN environment. Configure DLSw on Router A and Router B to enable communication between an IBM host and an SNA host over the Internet.

Configuration procedure

  1. Configure Router A:

    # Configure interfaces on Router A to make sure that the local DLSw peer 1.1.1.1 and remote peer 2.2.2.2 can reach each other. (Details not shown.)

    # Configure DLSw on Router A.

    <RouterA> system-view
    [RouterA] bridge enable
    [RouterA] bridge 5 enable
    [RouterA] dlsw local 1.1.1.1
    [RouterA] dlsw remote 2.2.2.2
    [RouterA] dlsw bridge-set 5
    [RouterA] interface ethernet 1/0
    [RouterA-Ethernet1/0] bridge-set 5
    
  2. Configure Router B:

    # Configure interfaces on Router B to make sure that the local DLSw peer 2.2.2.2 and remote peer 1.1.1.1 can reach each other. (Details not shown.)

    # Configure DLSw on Router B.

    <RouterB> system-view
    [RouterB] bridge enable
    [RouterB] bridge 7 enable
    [RouterB] dlsw local 2.2.2.2
    [RouterB] dlsw remote 1.1.1.1
    [RouterB] dlsw bridge-set 7
    [RouterB] interface ethernet 1/0
    [RouterB-Ethernet1/0] bridge-set 7
    

After this configuration, the two SNA LANs across the Internet are interconnected.
