The accelerating growth in networked users in today's e-business environments is driving the
need for higher processing capacity in routers as they perform memory-intensive tasks such as
IP-SNA integration, TN3270E Server functions, Data Link Switching, Enterprise Extender
services, and/or APPN high-performance routing. IBM's new Network Utility addresses this need
for higher processing capacity and increased numbers of logical connections.
This redbook provides networking professionals the information they need to quickly understand
the functions of this new product so that they can begin exploiting its advanced features. It
provides detailed explanations and example scenarios covering the hardware platform and the
functions of the IBM Network Utility Code Levels A and B.
The example scenarios, written jointly by the International Technical Support Organization
(ITSO) and the IBM Networking Hardware Division (NHD) show how to deploy the Network Utility in
more than a dozen applications where the power of the product can be leveraged. These
scenarios include using the Network Utility as a TN3270E server using a variety of host
connections including both SNA subarea and APPN, host channel gateway configurations (both ESCON
and parallel channel) for both TCP/IP and SNA, and how the Network Utility can be used as a
peer router for Data Link Switching (DLSw) circuit termination.
The Highly Available Fault-Tolerant TN3270E scenario shows you a solution for scaling a
TN3270 configuration in very large environments using the Network Dispatcher function to
dynamically load-balance telnet sessions between multiple Network Utilities.
These scenarios provide step-by-step configuration procedures using both the
command-line interface and the Configuration Program Graphical User Interface. An appendix
provides detailed examples of the corresponding host definitions that are required for the
Network Utility applications discussed in the scenarios.
