Example Configurations
SNAplus2 can be used as a standalone system to support direct
communication with a host or another SNA node, within a LAN to
support SNA communications across the LAN, or as a gateway to support
communication between a host and systems in a LAN.
A computer running SNAplus2 configured as a standalone system that
communicates directly with a host computer is shown in Figure 2-1,
“Standalone SNAplus2 Node That Communicates Directly with a Host.”

Host
Several SNAplus2 nodes configured as an APPN network are shown in
Figure 2-2, “SNAplus2 Nodes in an APPN Network.” SNA is used for
peer communication within the LAN as well as over the SDLC link.
