Count the IP virtual ring as one ring in each source routing segment attached to
your TCP/IP network. You count the IP virtual ring first rather than last, to avoid
configuring source routing segments that already contain more than eight ring
elements.
For more information on the DLSw IP Virtual Ring and Virtual Ring MTU
parameters, see Appendix A, “DLSw Service Parameters.”
DLSw and SRB on a Circuit
On an SRB circuit with DLSw services enabled (Figure 2-3), the following rules
apply:
• Upon receiving an explorer frame that contains a DLSw-specific destination
SAP address, DLSw and SRB attempt concurrently to locate the requested
program entity.
-- DLSw searches the network for a route to the target system by forwarding
the packet to all local DLSw interfaces and all known remote DLSw
routers.
-- SRB looks for a bridged path to the target system using standard source
route bridge broadcasts.
• DLSw or SRB, whichever receives a response first, takes precedence. The
slower subsystem ceases any further attempts to support a connection to the
target program.
Note:
Site Manager requires you to enter a value for the DLSw IP Virtual Ring
parameter, even if your network includes only Ethernet/802.3 circuits
configured for access to DLSw services.
