TN3270 server - several instances ??

[feliperodero]

We have a Cisco 7500 with one CIP module, connecting via Channel 1/2 to an IBM Mainframe using APPN.

We have one TN3270 server running in the router (7500).

Question:

Is it possible to have several instances of TN3270 servers running in the same router using a single CIP channel?

or is it possible to have 1 TN3270 server running but listening in several TCP ports?

Our objective is to separate services (for example 50% of the branch-offices using one TN3270 server and the other 50% using another instance or port).

Thanks a lot!.

Hi,

You can only run one tn3270 on each CIP card. You

can have multiple CIP cards in a 7500. Each running a

copy of the tn3270 server.

You can also configure the tn3270 on one CIP card

to listen on more than on IP address. If you use

listen-point, you can have the server listen on more

than on TCP port. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fibm_r2/br2fpt1/br2ftnsv.htm#wp1064340
