Chuck,
Some hints: everything is going to be bitswapped with the AS/400
definitions.
sdlc vmac is the mac address assigned to the controller.
sdlc partner address is the mac address assigned to the AS/400 interface.
Configure that in non-canonical format. Hint: ask the AS/400 sysop to vary
on the ethernet line, and check for the mac address in 'show bridge', then
bitswap it to verify. Or of course check in 'show dlsw reach'.
XID is something the sysop provides. Sort of like a socket/port address
when establishing a session/circuit. BUT FOR PU2.1 XID is not necessary.
The correct command there should be 'sdlc role prim-xid-poll'.
interface Serial3
description PU2.1 (P3)
no ip address
encapsulation sdlc
no keepalive
nrzi-encoding
clockrate 9600
sdlc role prim-xid-poll
sdlc vmac 4000.0693.0300
sdlc address C1
sdlc partner 4000.5555.00C1 C1
sdlc dlsw C1
