Charting
a course to the future
As you're planning for
multiprotocol network convergence, take a look at the IBM 3174 Network
Processor with Configuration Support C.
Today's 3174, with its full range of communications adapters, can provide the seamless and nondisruptive link between your mainframes, personal computers, local and wide area networks, and departmental processors: all across the most commonly used protocols.
With the 3174, you can:
Your key to networking flexibility
When you invested in your current 3174, you were probably unprepared for the pressures of converging multiprotocol networks. But your network needs to grow just as your business does. With such an investment in existing hardware, how can you migrate your network without incurring major costs?
Fortunately, there's a practical and affordable solution. And it may already be installed in your network. It's today's IBM 3174.
The 3174 has long been a cornerstone of corporate communications. If you see the 3174 as no more than a networking server for 3270 terminals, take another look. Because the 3174 offers you more today.
The 3174 is designed to meet your current and future requirements, providing support to a wide range of systems and protocols: SNA, APPN, TCP/IP, token ring, Ethernet, ESCON*, ASCII, AS/400, X.25, and frame relay.
From a single terminal, you can have up to five simultaneous sessions to access multiple hosts through 3174 functions like multiple logical terminal and multiple host connections. You can have mainframe host, ASCII, AS/400, or TCP/IP sessions simultaneously.
TCP/IP
You can now route remote
TCP/IP traffic using your existing 3174. The 3174 supports TCP/IP with
Telnet and TN3270. SNMP management is also provided. It's an efficient
and cost-effective way to migrate into open system environments,
protecting
your investments in equipment and improving your users' productivity.
With IP routing, your 3174 can act as an IP router between LAN-attached devices and a frame-relay network. IP routing is provided through RPQ 8Q1289, a no-charge feature that runs on Configuration Support C Release 5.
Using a predefined route table, the 3174 can send traffic to other routers and 3174s to reach IP hosts on remote subnets and networks. Also, a default router can be customized in the 3174 so that traffic for subnets not in the table can be routed to a dynamic router like the IBM 6611 Network Processor.
You can save money by using 3174s for routing and consolidating SNA and IP connections. The new 3174 routing capabilities make it similar to some of the low-end static routers currently in the marketplace. But with a 3174, you can provide routing on a product that you probably already have installed. One that provides the function concurrently with SNA, APPN, LAN gateway, and traditional 3270 subarea applications.
Ethernet
LAN
You can now connect your
3174 to an Ethernet LAN to create a more global network linking your
users
and computing resources. Such a global network can improve response
times
and lower costs.
The 3174 can be attached to a token ring to provide access to TCP/IP, APPN, or SNA protocols. The 3174 even enables LAN connections made over existing coaxial wiring, allowing migration to a LAN environment without the costs of rewiring or adding token-ring adapters to your personal computers.
APPN
The 3174 provides APPN
network node functions. APPN lets you consolidate multiple networks
serving
diverse processor platforms into a single, high-performance,
cost-effective
peer topology network.
Now, you can easily distribute applications across mainframes, PS/2* computers, AS/400 systems, and RISC System/6000* processors within an APPN network. And you'll also be able to take advantage of dynamic, nonhierarchical route optimization and dynamic network configuration definition.
Together, 3174 and the VTAM* program support traditional 3270 LU2 traffic natively just as they always have and always will. But with dependent LU server/requester (DLUS/DLUR) support, the 3174 and VTAM extend the dynamic routing benefits of APPN to dependent displays.
DLUS and DLUR calculate the best route for the 3270 session data. This route is determined by factors like the type of line, speed of the line, security, and congestion. Once the route is selected, the 3270 data stream is natively routed, not encapsulated, over the APPN network.
Traditional 3270 traffic and dynamically routed 3270 traffic can coexist in the same network. And in parts of the network where the migration to APPN has not occurred, 3270 sessions work the same way they always have.
With DLUS and DLUR, you can take advantage of the benefits of APPN without having to change your existing 3270 applications or replace your large inventories of dependent displays.
Frame
relay
The 3174 can transport
multiple protocols, such as IPX**, NetBIOS, TCP/IP, SNA, and APPN, over
a frame-relay network. This gives you the converged network capability
you'll need.

The 3174 product family is structured into models to provide ease of ordering. The proper model can be selected by asking two basic questions: How many devices must be supported? What is the primary communications attachment? With the answers to these questions, the proper model can be determined using the 3174 Model Selection Table below. The number of devices will determine the packaging type required. The primary communications attachment will determine which model in the package type group to order.
