Configured Peers
A configured peer is a remote data link switch, represented by an IP address, that
is predefined in the local router. You define a configured peer by specifying its
unique IP address in the Site Manager DLSw Peer IP Table.
IP addresses in the local router’s Peer IP Table must also appear in the Slot Table
of a remote router.
A configured peer can receive broadcast frames directly from DLSw peers in a
local router.
The local router issues broadcast frames triggered by client demand for
connection services. Responses to these broadcasts enable the local router to:
• Identify DLSw peers that can reach the requested remote NetBIOS or SNA
system
• Manage (open, restart, and close) TCP connections to the DLSw peer that can
reach the requested SNA or NetBIOS system
Once a router knows that a DLSw peer can reach a specific system, the router can
address frames directly to that peer and avoid unnecessary broadcast traffic on the
TCP/IP network.
