Configuring DLSw for SDLC-to-LAN remote media translation
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 79, Host A and Host B are PU2.0 nodes (ATM), and Host C is a PU2.1 node (OS2). Configure DLSw on Router A and Router B, using NRZ encoding on the port connected with the multiplexer and NRZI encoding on the port connected with Host C, so the IBM host can communicate with all the SNA PCs over the Internet.

Configuration procedure
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 1 enable [RouterA] dlsw local 1.1.1.1 [RouterA] dlsw remote 2.2.2.2 [RouterA] dlsw bridge-set 1 [RouterA] interface ethernet 1/0 [RouterA-Ethernet1/0] bridge-set 1
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.

# If the local and remote networks are stable, configure the following commands to save the polling process.
[RouterB] dlsw reachable mac-exclusivity [RouterB] dlsw reachable-cache 0014-cc00-54af remote 1.1.1.1
In the configuration file of router B, the MAC address in the sdlc mac-map remote and dlsw reachable-cache commands is the MAC address of the Ethernet card of the AS/400 device, which is connected to Router A. Because an Ethernet MAC address appears in the reverse bit order of a Token-Ring MAC address, bit order reversal is required in MAC address configuration (for example, a MAC address 0028-3300-2af5 appears to be 0014-cc00-54af after bit order reversal). If the peer end is Token-Ring, bit order reversal is not required.
