Configuring DLSw Services
Data link switching (DLSw) provides the following services:
• Transports connection-oriented SNA and NetBIOS data across a network
• Prevents sessions from timing out due to slow network response time
• Reroutes traffic around failed links
• Improves response time by reducing network overhead
• Interconnects multiple locations without requiring a network manager to reconfigure existing
bridges
This manual describes how to configure DLSw services on a Nortel Networks router.

Configuring LLC Services
Logical Link Control (LLC) enables SNA devices and NetBIOS PCs to establish sessions through
a LAN topology. LLC also adds higher-layer sequencing and error control in bridged LAN
environments. The Nortel Networks implementation of the LLC protocol consists of LLC class 1
(LLC1), a connectionless delivery service, and LLC class 2 (LLC2), a connection-oriented service.
Most protocols use LLC1, but LAN Network Manager (LNM) servers, data link switching
(DLSw) services, and Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) require LLC2. This manual
describes how to configure LLC services on a Nortel Networks router.

Configuring LNM Services
LAN Network Manager (LNM) manages multisegment 802.5/token ring networks. Network
administrators can use LNM to monitor a single LAN or a group of LANs. LNM can also
communicate with the IBM NetView host-based network management product. This enables a
NetView administrator to access certain operating capabilities of the LNM. This manual describes
how to configure LNM services on a Nortel Networks router.

Configuring SDLC Services
Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) is the synchronous, bit-oriented link control protocol in
the IBM Systems Network Architecture (SNA). SDLC is not a peer-to-peer protocol like frame
relay; SDLC networks consist of a primary station that controls all communication and one or
more secondary stations. For example, a mainframe in Los Angeles may support a multidrop line
with controllers connected to drops in offices in Boston, New York, and Washington. This manual
describes how to configure SDLC services on a Nortel Networks router.
