Configuring CMPC+
Cisco Multipath Channel+ (CMPC+) is Cisco's implementation of IBM's Multipath Channel+ (MPC+) feature. The CMPC+ feature in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T and later supports the MPC+ features and protocols necessary to support IP. This chapter provides information about configuring CMPC+ support on the Channel Interface Processor (CIP) and Channel Port Adapter (CPA) types of Cisco Mainframe Channel Connection (CMCC) adapters on a Cisco router.

Overview
CMPC+ enables High Performance Data Transfer (HPDT). It allows TCP/IP connections to the host through CMCC adapters, using either the TCP/IP stack or the High Speed Access Services (HSAS) IP stack. CMPC+ offers the following support:
•
Support for TCP/IP and HSAS Transmission Group (TG)
•
Support for one IP stack per MPC+ group
•
Support for one read subchannel and one write subchannel per CMPC+ group. The read subchannel and write subchannel in an MPC+ group can be on different physical channels.
•
Support for up to 64 KB per I/O block.
•
Supports the CIP and the CPA
Up to 64 MPC+ groups can be configured on a CMCC, depending on memory configuration. CMPC+ can coexist with CMPC, TCP/IP Offload, CLAW, TN3270, and CSNA features.
Figure 1 shows an MVS host with a TCP/IP stack and a Cisco router configured with CMPC+ and IP.
Figure 1 MVS Host with TCP/IP Stack and Cisco Router with CMPC+
Figure 2 shows a scenario where a VTAM host is configured with both HSAS and TCP/IP stacks. Each stack on the host has a TG with a read and write subchannel. The CMCC adapter can be a CIP or CPA. On the outbound flow coming from the host, the Cisco router receives the MPC+ packets from the channel, removes the MPC+ headers, and transfers the packets as IP packets to the IP cloud. The router sends the packets to the appropriate interface, depending on the destination IP address in the packet.
Figure 2 CMPC+ IP Structure
On the inbound flow coming from the IP cloud via LAN or WAN interfaces, the IP packets are switched from the Cisco IOS software to the CMCC adapter and MPC+ headers are added to the packets. The MPC+ block of packets is then sent to the host.
IP communication from one IBM host to another can also be accomplished through the same CMCC adapter. Figure 3 illustrates IP packets going from Host 1 to Host 2 and from Host 2 to Host 1. These packets are routed through the same Route Switch Processor (RSP) in the Cisco router.
Figure 3 IP Communication Between IBM Hosts Through the Same CMCC
Figure 4 illustrates IP packets flowing between host 1 and host 2. IP packets can also be sent from one host to another host using different CMCC adapters.

Preparing to Configure CMPC+
The following topics in this section provide information that is useful when you are planning to configure CMPC+ support:
•
Hardware and Software Requirements
•
Mainframe Host Configuration Considerations
Hardware and Software Requirements
This section provides information about the router and mainframe requirements to support CMPC+.
Router Requirements
The CMPC+ feature is supported on the following router platforms and requires the appropriate CMCC microcode and a minimum of 32 MB DRAM on the CMCC adapter:
•
Cisco 7500 series—Supports CIP adapters
•
Cisco 7200 series—Supports ECPA and PCPA adapters
•
Cisco 7000 series with RSP7000—Supports CIP adapters
You must configure the CMPC+ feature on the physical interface of a CMCC adapter. For a CIP, the physical interface is either 0 or 1. For the CPA adapters, ECPA and PCPA, the physical interface is port 0.
Mainframe Requirements
CMPC+ establishes channel connectivity to a S/390 mainframe host using the Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM) and IP stacks. The following software versions of S/390, VTAM, and IP stacks are required to configure CMPC+ on a CMCC adapter:
Operating System and VTAM Requirements
•
OS/390 1.3 and later
•
ACF/VTAM 4.4 and later
IP Stack Requirements
CMPC+ requires one of the following IP stacks on the mainframe:
•
TCP/IP 3.3 and later
•
HSAS
Mainframe Host Configuration Considerations
Configuring CMPC+ support requires that you perform tasks for configuration of the mainframe and the router sides of the network environment.
Often in the mixed network environment of mainframes and LANs, an MVS systems programmer installs and maintains the mainframe side of the network, while a network engineer manages the routers on the LAN side of the network. In such an environment, the successful configuration of CMPC+ support requires the close coordination between these job functions at a customer site.
This chapter contains information for both the network engineer and the MVS systems programmer to properly configure the network devices for CMPC+ support. The tasks for configuring CMPC+ support are organized by whether they are host-related configuration tasks or router-related configuration tasks. In addition, a topic for correlating the mainframe and router configuration is provided so that you can identify the dependencies between the host and router configuration elements and be sure that they are set up correctly.
Defining the Channel Subsystem for the Router
To establish the path and allocate the range of subchannel addresses that the CMCC adapter can use for the CMPC+ feature, you need to specify the channel subsystem definitions in the Input/Output Control Program (IOCP) or Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD).
For more information about the statements that might be defined in an IOCP file for parallel channels and ESCON channels on the CIP or CPA, see the "Defining the Channel Subsystem for the Router" section in the "Configuring Cisco Mainframe Channel Connection Adapters" chapter of this publication.
Disabling the Missing Interrupt Handler
Because the appropriate configuration of the missing interrupt handler (MIH) varies according to the protocols and software releases used, Cisco offers the following guidance:
•
For OS/390 releases Version 2 Release 4 and earlier, set the MIH to zero.
•
For OS/390 releases later than Version 2 Release 4 and z/OS releases, refer to the following section of the z/OS Communications Server IP Configuration Reference: http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/f1a1b420/1.2.13?SHELF=f1a1bk31&DT=20020604120755#HDRMOLLY
For information about how to disable the MIH for the unit addresses being used for your CMCC adapter configuration, see the section "Disabling the Missing Interrupt Handler" section in the "Configuring Cisco Mainframe Channel Connection Adapters" chapter of this publication.

CMPC+ Configuration Guidelines
To configure the CMPC+ feature, you must configure the host VTAM parameters, the TCP/IP or HSAS stacks on the host, and the CMCC adapter. Consider the following guidelines as you prepare to configure CMPC+ support:
•
A CMPC+ link uses two subchannels: one read and one write. Some IBM implementations of MPC+ allow multiple read and multiple write subchannels within a link. CMPC+ does not support multiple read and write subchannels. Only one read subchannel and one write subchannel can be configured for each CMPC+ link. A CMPC+ link is also referred to as a CMPC+ TG.
•
On the router a CMPC+ TG consists of one read subchannel definition, one write subchannel definition, and a TG definition, associated by a unique tg-name.
•
A CMCC adapter can have multiple CMPC+ links (TGs), up to a maximum of 64.
•
To configure the TCP/IP or HSAS interface for the CMCC adapter, use the tg (CMPC+) command.
•
To define the host subchannel (or path) and device, use the cmpc command on the router. One cmpc command defines the read subchannel, and one cmpc command defines the write subchannel. The cmpc command is configured on the CMCC adapter's physical interface (port 0 or 1 on a CIP; port 0 on a CPA).
•
The two subchannels in a CMPC+ link do not need to be adjacent devices. Either channel can be the read subchannel or the write subchannel. The two subchannels can be on separate channel process IDs (CHPIDs) in the host.
•
The two subchannels must be connected to the same CMCC adapter, however they do not have to be connected to the same physical channel interface on a CIP. On a CIP it is possible to connect a read subchannel to channel interface 0, while the write subchannel is connected to channel interface 1.
•
The host IOCP or HCD parameters must coordinate with the cmpc command parameters on the router and the transport resource list major node definition to specify the subchannel path, device, and subchannel address.
•
To configure MPC+ on the host, define the Transport Resource List (TRL). If you do not plan to support HPR, then you need to disable support in the TRL major node by configuring HPR=NO.
•
CMPC+ can coexist with CLAW, TCP/IP offload, IP host backup, CSNA, CMPC, and TN3270 server features on the router.
CMPC+ Host Configuration Task List
This section contains the following host configuration tasks:
•
Configuring the VTAM Transport Resource List Major Node
•
Configuring the Stacks
Configuring the VTAM Transport Resource List Major Node
The CMPC+ feature supports standard Transport Resource List (TRL) major node configurations, standard TCP Profiles and OE configuration statements. The host configuration must be coordinated with the CMPC+ configuration for IP connectivity to be successful.
To define the TRL, you must have two valid subchannel addresses configured in the IOCP or HCD on the host that can be used for the read and write subchannels. The read/write subchannels that you configure in the TRL should correlate with the unit addresses configured in the device argument of the cmpc commands. CMPC+ requires a unique TRLE for each CMPC+ TG.
The following sample configuration shows an example of a typical TRL major node configuration:
JCTRLG74 TRLE LNCTL=MPC, X
In this example, device 274 has been configured for read and 275 has been configured for write.
Devices 274 and 275 must be available subchannels in the IOCP or HCD definition for the CMCC adapter connection.
You should activate the TRL before activating the corresponding local major node. The following example shows the command to activate a TRL, where the ID parameter specifies the name of the TRL:
v net,act,id=jectrlg,update=add
Note
The argument "update=add" is preferred and is the default for later versions of VTAM. The argument "update=all" can cause inactive TRLEs to be deleted unexpectedly from ISTTRL. However, "update=all" must be used if you change an active TRL data set and want the changes to become active.
The following commands are useful for displaying the current list of TRLEs:
•
d net,trl
•
d net,id=isttrl,e
•
d net,trl,trle=trle_name
For details on how to configure the TRL major node, see the following IBM documents:

Assigning an IP Address to the Network Interface
•
Configuring the CMPC+ Subchannels
•
Configuring the CMPC+ TGs
Assigning an IP Address to the Network Interface
To assign an IP address to the network interface, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
|
|
Router(config-if)# ip address ip-address mask secondary |
Assigns an IP address to the network interface. |
Configuring the CMPC+ Subchannels
Configuring the CMPC+ subchannels establishes the physical path between the CMCC interface and the mainframe channel.
To define a CMPC+ read subchannel and CMPC+ write subchannel, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
|
|
Step 1 |
Router(config)# interface channel slot/port |
Selects the interface on which to configure CMPC. The port value differs by the type of CMCC adapter: • CIP—port value corresponds to the physical interface, which is port 0 or 1. • CPA—port value corresponds to port 0. |
Step 2 |
Router(config-if)# cmpc path device tg-name read |
Defines the CMPC+ read subchannel device with the following arguments: • path—Four-digit value that represents the channel path for the device. The path value is always 0100 for parallel channels. • device—Unit address for the device on the subchannel. • tg-name—Name of the CMPC+ TG, up to 8 characters. |
Step 3 |
Router(config-if)# cmpc path device tg-name write |
Defines the CMPC+ write subchannel device with the following arguments: • path—Four-digit value that represents the channel path for the device. The path value is always 0100 for parallel channels. • device—Unit address for the device on the subchannel. This unit address must be a different address than the unit address for the CMPC+ read subchannel. • tg-name—Name of the CMPC+ TG, up to eight characters. |
Use the no cmpc path device command to remove the definition of a subchannel.
Mainframe Configuration Tips
•
Configuring the subchannel information in the router requires that you correlate the path and device information from the IOCP or HCD file on the host.
–
The path argument is a four-digit hexadecimal value that concatenates the path value (two digits), EMIF partition number (one digit), and control unit logical address (one digit).
–
The device argument is a valid number in the UNITADD range of the IOCP CNTLUNIT statement for the CMPC internal LAN adapter.
For detailed information about how to determine the path and device values for the cmpc command, see the "Correlating Channel Configuration Parameters" section in the "Configuring Cisco Mainframe Channel Connection Adapters" chapter in this guide.
•
The cmpc commands on the router define the subchannel addresses that CMPC+ will use to connect to the host, and correspond to the definitions in the TRL major node on the host. Normally, the last two hexadecimal digits in the READ parameter of the TRL match the value of the device argument in the corresponding cmpc read command. Similarly, the last two hexadecimal digits in the WRITE parameter of the TRL match the value of the device argument in the cmpc write command.
Configuring the CMPC+ TGs
To define a CMPC+ TG by name, use the following command in interface configuration mode on a CIP virtual interface or a CPA physical interface:
|
|
|
Step 1 |
Router(config)# interface channel slot/port |
Selects the interface on which to configure the CMPC+ TG. The port value differs by the type of CMCC adapter: • CIP—port value corresponds to the virtual interface, which is port 2. • CPA—port value corresponds to port 0. |
Step 2 |
Router(config-if)# tg tg-name [ip | hsas-ip] host-ip-addr local-ip-addr broadcast |
Defines the type of IP stack and the IP addresses for the CMPC+ connection with the following arguments: • tg-name—Name (up to 8 characters) of the TG. This name must match the name specified in the cmpc commands. • ip—TCP/IP stack connection for the TG. • hsas-ip—HSAS IP stack connection for the TG. • host-ip-addr—IP address of the channel-attached host using this TG. This address must match the IP address in the HOME statement of the host's TCP/IP profile, or the host address in the source-IP-address argument of the oeifconfig command for HSAS on the host. • local-ip-addr—IP address configured on the virtual interface of the CMCC adapter. This address must match the IP address for the router in the DEFAULTNET statement of the host's TCP/IP profile, or the router address in the destination-IP-address argument of the oeifconfig command for HSAS on the host. • broadcast—Routing updates enabled to the host. |
Use the no tg command to remove a CMPC+ TG from the configuration, which will deactivate the named CMPC+ TG. To change any parameter of the tg statement, the statement must be removed by using the no tg tg-name command.
Router Configuration Tip
The name that you specify for the TG must match the name that you specify in the tg-name argument of the cmpc commands on the physical interface of the same CMCC adapter.
Mainframe Configuration Tips
•
The IP address that you specify for the host-ip-addr argument must match one of the following host configuration parameters:
–
For TCP/IP profile configurations, the host-ip-addr address must match the IP address specified in the HOME statement at the host.
–
For HSAS stack configurations, the host-ip-addr address must match the IP address specified in the source-IP-address argument of the oeifconfig command at the host.
•
The IP address that you specify for the local-ip-addr argument must match one of the following host configuration parameters:
–
For TCP/IP profile configurations, the local-ip-addr address must match the IP address specified in the DEFAULTNET statement at the host.
–
For HSAS stack configurations, the local-ip-addr address must match the IP address specified in the destination-IP-address argument of the oeifconfig command at the host.
Correlating the Mainframe and Router Configuration Elements
Table 1 shows a summary of the configuration elements on the router and host that must be correlated for proper operation of CMPC+. The column labeled "Configuration Element" identifies the type of entity to be configured.

Note
The initial router configuration shows the configuration prior to configuring the CMPC+ feature.
Verifying CMPC+ Channel Connectivity
If you have defined the channel paths for the router at the mainframe host in the IOCP or HCD, you can begin to configure the router for CMPC+ support and verify connectivity at the channel level first. Isolating this level of verification is useful when the VTAM configuration is not completed, but you want to establish that the router can successfully communicate with the host.
Verifying channel connectivity confirms the following aspects of the router configuration:
•
Microcode is loaded on the CMCC
•
CMCC adapter is functional
•
CMCC can communicate with the host over the channel path
This section includes the following tasks:
•
Verifying CMPC+ Channel Connectivity From the Router
•
Verifying CMPC+ Channel Connectivity From the Host
•
Troubleshooting Tips for Channel Connectivity
Verifying CMPC+ Channel Connectivity From the Router
The steps in this section show how to verify the CMPC+ channel configuration beginning with configuring the cmpc commands on the router's physical interface. The following assumptions are made for the procedure described in this section:
•
The router's virtual interface is already configured with the statements as shown in the initial router configuration for a CIP shown in Figure 6.
•
The router has the recommended CMCC hardware and microcode versions to support the CMPC feature. You can use the show version, show controllers cbus, and show controllers channel commands to verify the Cisco IOS software and CMCC microcode versions.
Note
Before you begin on the router, run the debug channel events command so that you can verify the messages on the router console.
To verify CMPC+ channel connectivity, perform the following steps:
Step 1
From the router, configure the cmpc commands on the physical interface according to your site's requirements as shown in the following example:
cmpc C190 74 MVSG-TCP READ
cmpc C190 75 MVSG-TCP WRITE
Confirm that you receive messages stating "Device Initialized," similar to the following displays:
PA1 MPC C190-74 Device initialized
PA1 MPC C190-75 Device initialized
Step 2
Configure the CMPC+ TG according to your site's requirements as shown in the following example:
tg MVSG-TCP ip 172.18.20.51 172.18.20.49
Confirm that you receive a message stating that the CMPC+ TG is "Initialized," similar to the following display:
CMPC-TG MVSG-TCP initialized
Step 3
To verify that the channel is up and the line protocol is up, go to EXEC command mode and run the show interfaces channel command as shown in the following example:
show interfaces channel 2/1
Step 4
To verify that the physical channel is up, run the show extended channel statistics command as shown in the following example:
show extended channel 2/1 statistics
Verify that the path field in the output for the CMPC+ devices shows "ESTABLISHED," which means that the physical channel is up.
Step 5
If your show command output matches the values described in Step 3 and Step 4, then the channel connection between the mainframe and the router is established. If you cannot confirm the values, see the "Troubleshooting Tips for Channel Connectivity" section.
Verifying CMPC+ Channel Connectivity From the Host
After CMPC+ has been configured on the router, you can also verify channel connectivity from the host by performing the following steps:
Step 1
From the host, verify that the devices are online using the following sample command to display the device 274 for a range of two (or 274-275):
Step 2
If the devices are offline, then vary the devices online according to your site's configuration as shown in the following sample commands:
Note
The CHPID for the device should already be active on the host.
Step 3
If the devices come online, then the channel connection between the mainframe and the router is established. If the device does not come online, or you receive the message "No paths physically available," see the "Troubleshooting Tips for Channel Connectivity" section.
Troubleshooting Tips for Channel Connectivity
There are several indicators on the router and the mainframe that indicate that the channel connection is not available.
•
From the router, you might see the following things:
–
The output from the show interfaces channel command shows that the channel or line protocol is down.
–
The output from the show interface channel statistics command shows that the path is not established (the physical channel is not up).
•
From the host, you might see the following things:
–
The device is not online.
–
When you vary the device online, you receive the message "No paths physically available."
Recommended Actions
If you determine that the channel connection is not available, review the following tasks to be sure that you have performed them correctly:
•
Be sure that you enabled the CMPC+ router configuration using the no shut command to restart the interface. If you configured both the physical and virtual interface on a CIP, be sure to run the no shut command on both interfaces.
•
Be sure that the CMPC+ devices (and paths) are online at the host.
•
Verify that the path and device arguments that you specified in your cmpc configuration command correlate properly to the host IOCP or HCD configuration.
If none of these recommended actions allow you to establish the channel connection, check your CMCC LED indicators and the physical channel connection.

Verifying Communication From the Router Using TCP/IP
This procedure describes how to verify communication with the VTAM TRL major node and the TCP/IP stack from the router.
To verify communication with VTAM from the router, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Run the show extended channel statistics command as shown in the following example:
show extended channel 2/1 statistics
Verify that the following is displayed in these fields of the output for the CMPC+ devices:
•
Path—The CMPC+ path is "ESTABLISHED," which means that the physical channel is up.
•
Con—The connection value is "Y," which means that the subchannel is up and the CMPC+ connection is established between the router and the mainframe.
Step 2
To verify that the CMPC+ subchannels are active, run the show extended channel cmpc command as shown in the following example:
show extended channel 2/0 cmpc
Step 3
To verify the operational status and configuration of the CMPC+ TGs, run the show extended channel tg command as shown in the following example:

Verifying a CMPC+ Configuration Using HSAS
Configuring CMPC+ includes tasks for both the mainframe and the router. This section describes the steps to verify that you have successfully configured CMPC+ on a CIP. It provides procedures to verify connectivity from the router perspective and from the host perspective, and includes troubleshooting tips as a guide when the configuration verification fails.
This section includes the following topics:
•
Initial Host and Router Configuration Using the HSAS Stack
•
Verifying CMPC+ Channel Connectivity
•
Verifying Communication Between the Host and Router Using HSAS
Initial Host and Router Configuration Using the HSAS Stack
When using the HSAS stack, consider that you begin verification with the following configurations on the host and router:
•
TRL Major Node Definition
•
Initial Router Configuration on a CIP
Note
The verification procedures assume that the VTAM major node is defined, but not yet activated.
TRL Major Node Definition
HSASTR72 TRLE LNCTL=MPC,MAXBFRU=16, X
Initial Router Configuration on a CIP
ip address 172.18.20.49 255.255.255.248
Note
The initial router configuration shows the configuration prior to configuring the CMPC+ feature.
Verifying CMPC+ Channel Connectivity
If you have defined the channel paths for the router at the mainframe host in the IOCP or HCD, you can begin to configure the router for CMPC+ support and verify connectivity at the channel level first. Isolating this level of verification is useful when the VTAM configuration is not completed, but you want to establish that the router can successfully communicate with the host.
Verifying channel connectivity confirms the following aspects of the router configuration:
•
Microcode is loaded on the CMCC
•
CMCC adapter is functional
•
CMCC can communicate with the host over the channel path
Verifying CMPC+ Channel Connectivity From the Router
The steps in this section show how to verify the CMPC+ channel configuration beginning with running the cmpc command on the router's physical interface. The following assumptions are made for the procedure described in this section:
•
The router's virtual interface is already configured with the statements as shown in the initial router configuration for a CIP shown in Figure 6.
•
The router has the recommended CMCC hardware and microcode versions to support the CMPC feature. You can use the show version, show controllers cbus, and show controllers channel commands to verify the Cisco IOS software and CMCC microcode versions.
Note
Before you begin on the router, run the debug channel events command so that you can verify the messages on the router console.
To verify CMPC+ channel connectivity, perform the following steps:
Step 1
From the router, configure the cmpc commands on the physical interface according to your site's requirements as shown in the following example:
cmpc C190 72 MVSG-HSA READ
cmpc C190 73 MVSG-HSA WRITE
Confirm that you receive messages stating "Device Initialized," similar to the following displays:
PA1 MPC C190-72 Device initialized
PA1 MPC C190-73 Device initialized
Step 2
Configure the CMPC+ TG according to your site's requirements as shown in the following example:
tg MVSG-HSA ip 172.18.20.50 172.18.20.49
Confirm that you receive a message stating that the CMPC+ TG is "Initialized," similar to the following display:
CMPC-TG MVSG-HSA initialized
Step 3
To verify that the channel is up and the line protocol is up, go to EXEC command mode and run the show interfaces channel command as shown in the following example:
show interfaces channel 2/1
Step 4
To verify that the physical channel is up, run the show extended channel statistics command as shown in the following example:
show extended channel 2/1 statistics
Verify that the path field in the output for the CMPC+ devices shows "ESTABLISHED," which means that the physical channel is up.
Step 5
If your show command output matches the values described in Step 3 and Step 4, then the channel connection between the mainframe and the router is established. If you cannot confirm the values, see the "Troubleshooting Tips for Channel Connectivity" section.
Verifying CMPC+ Channel Connectivity From the Host
After CMPC+ has been configured on the router, you can also verify channel connectivity from the host by performing the following steps:
Step 1
From the host, verify that the devices are online using the following sample command to display the device 272 for a range of two (or 272-273):
Step 2
If the devices are offline, then vary the devices online according to your site's configuration as shown in the following sample commands:
Note
The CHPID for the device should already be active on the host.
Step 3
If the devices come online, then the channel connection between the mainframe and the router is established. If the device does not come online, or you receive the message "No paths physically available," see the "Troubleshooting Tips for Channel Connectivity" section.
Troubleshooting Tips for Channel Connectivity
There are several indicators on the router and the mainframe that indicate that the channel connection is not available.
•
From the router, you might see the following things:
–
The output from the show interfaces channel command shows that the channel or line protocol is down.
–
The output from the show interface channel statistics command shows that the path is not established (the physical channel is not up).
•
From the host, you might see the following things:
–
The device is not online.
–
When you vary the device online, you receive the message "No paths physically available."
Recommended Actions
If you determine that the channel connection is not available, review the following tasks to be sure that you have performed them correctly:
•
Be sure that you enabled the CMPC+ router configuration using the no shut command to restart the interface. If you configured both the physical and virtual interface on a CIP, be sure to run the no shut command on both interfaces.
•
Be sure that the CMPC+ devices (and paths) are online at the host.
•
Verify that the path and device arguments that you specified in your cmpc configuration command correlate properly to the host IOCP or HCD configuration.
If none of these recommended actions allow you to establish the channel connection, check your CMCC LED indicators and the physical channel connection.
Verifying Communication Between the Host and Router Using HSAS

Monitoring and Maintaining CMPC+
The following topics in this section provide information about the different commands that you can use to monitor and maintain the CMCC interfaces that are configured for CMPC+:
•
Monitoring Interface Status
•
Clearing Counters for CMPC+
Monitoring Interface Status
To monitor CMCC adapter interface status, you can display information about the interface, including the version of the software and the hardware, the controller status, and statistics about the interfaces. In addition, you can display information about feature-related statistics on the CMCC adapter. This section lists some additional commands that are useful when monitoring CMCC adapter interfaces that are configured for CMPC+.
For a complete list of the show commands that are related to monitoring CMCC adapter interfaces, see the "Configuring Cisco Mainframe Channel Connection Adapters" chapter in this guide. To display the full list of show commands, enter show ? at the EXEC prompt.
To display information related to CMPC+ configurations, use the following commands in EXEC mode:
|
|
Router# show extended channel slot/port cmgr [tg-name] |
Displays information about the MPC+ TG connection manager. |
Router# show extended channel slot/port cmpc [path [device]] |
Displays information about each CMPC+ (and CMPC) subchannel configured on the specified CMCC adapter interface. |
Router# show extended channel slot/port tg [oper | stats] [detailed] [tg-name] |
Displays configuration, operational, and statistics information for CMPC+ (and CMPC) TGs configured on a specified CMCC adapter internal LAN interface. |
Clearing Counters for CMPC+
You can reset the statistics counters that are displayed in the output of the show extended channel commands. You can reset the counters associated with an interface or a particular feature on the interface. If you are monitoring a particular threshold or statistic for a CMPC+ TG and need to reset a related counter, you can clear all those counters related to the TG.
For information about clearing other counters on the CMCC adapter interface, see the "Configuring Cisco Mainframe Channel Connection Adapters" chapter in this guide.
To clear the TG counters associated with CMPC+ on the CMCC adapters, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:
|
|
Router# clear extended counters channel slot/port tg |
Clears counters for statistics associated with TGs in the CMPC+ (and CMPC) features on the specified slot/port. The port value differs by the type of CMCC adapter: • CIP—port value corresponds to the virtual interface, which is port 2. • CPA—port value corresponds to the physical interface, which is port 0. |
Note
This command will not clear counters retrieved using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), but only those seen with the EXEC show extended channel tg command.
CMPC+ Configuration Examples
Following are the CMPC+ configuration examples shown in this section:
•
CMPC+ with TCP/IP Stack Example
•
CMPC+ with HSAS Stack Example
•

In this TCP/IP profile, the DEVICE specifies the VTAM TRLE mpc4b00 and LINK specifies the link name (MPCPLNK2) associated with the IP address (80.12.165.2) for that link. The host IP address 80.12.165.2 that is specified for the TG in the router configuration must be identical to the IP address specified for the TG in the router configuration.
TRL Major Node
The following sample shows the TRL major node example:
MPC4B00 TRLE LNCTL=MPC,MAXBFRU=16, X
In this TRL major node example, the parameter MPC4B00 must be identical to the LINK parameter in the TCP/IP profile.
CMPC+ with HSAS Stack Example
Figure 8 illustrates HSAS for CMPC+ between a host and a Cisco router with a CMCC adapter. The configurations for this example follow.

The OpenEdition Common INET physical file system must be defined to include the HSAS communications stack (OESTACK). Whereas other IP communications stacks require a separate address space, the HSAS communications stack resides within the OpenEdition kernel.
The SUBFILESTYPE NAME(OESTACK) statement defines the HSAS stack. This statement must be coded exactly as shown in the example and only one such statement must be coded.
HSAS Configuration
The following sample is the HSAS configuration on the MVS host:
oeifconfig mpc4b02 80.80.165.2 80.12.165.1 mtu 4468
oeroute add default 80.12.165.1
TRL Major Node
The following sample is the TRL major node configuration:
MPC4B02 TRLE LNCTL=MPC,MAXBFRU=16, X
In this TRL major node configuration, the parameter MPC4B02 must be identical to the TRLE parameter in the oeifconfig configuration.
CMPC+ with TCP/IP and HSAS Stacks Example
Figure 9 illustrates CMPC+ used between a Cisco router with a CMCC adapter and a host with both TCP/IP and HSAS stacks.
Figure 9 CMPC+ with TCP/IP and HSAS Stacks
Router
The following is the CMPC+ configuration for TCP/IP and HSAS in the CPA:
enable secret 5 $1$2Py5$GmguUvRGwLdOj2UCi6cv71
microcode ecpa slot0:xcpa216-0.plus110698
ip host bizarre 171.69.160.37
ip name-server 171.69.161.21
ip address 80.80.2.1 255.255.255.0
ip route-cache same-interface
tg TG00 ip 80.80.2.2 80.80.2.1
tg TG02 hsas-ip 80.80.2.3 80.80.2.1
In this configuration, the cmpc configuration is for the TCP/IP and HSAS stacks on the host. The IP address of 80.80.2.2 corresponds to the IP address for the TCP/IP stack in the TCP/IP profile on the host. The IP address of 80.80.2.3 corresponds to the IP address in the HSAS stack on the host.
TRL Major Node for TCP/IP Stack
The following sample shows the TRL major node configuration for the TCP/IP stack:
MPC4900 TRLE LNCTL=MPC,MAXBFRU=6,REPLYTO=3, x
In this TRL major node example, the parameter MPC4900 must be identical to the TRLE parameter in the LINK statement in the TCP/IP profile.
TRL Major Node for HSAS Stack
The following sample shows the TRL major node configuration for the HSAS stack:
MPC4902 TRLE LNCTL=MPC,MAXBFRU=9,REPLYTO=3, X
In this TRL major node example, the parameter MPC4B02 must be identical to the oeifconfig statement in the TCP/IP profile.
TCP/IP Profile
The following example shows the TCP/IP profile on the host:
telnetparms timemark 600 port 23 dbcstransform endtelnetparms
ASSORTEDPARMS NOFWD ENDASSORTEDPARMS
LINK MPCPLNK2 MPCPTP mpc4900
INCLUDE TODD.MPCP.TCPIP.PROFILES(PORTS)
; NETWORK FIRST DRIVER PACKET SUBNet mask subnet value
80.80.2.1 = mpcplnk2 4468 host
DEFAULTNET 80.80.2.1 mpcplnk2 4468 0
; Define logon mode tables to be the defaults shipped with the latest
3278-3-E NSX32703 ; 32 line screen - default of NSX32702 is 24 line screen
3279-3-E NSX32703 ; 32 line screen - default of NSX32702 is 24 line screen
3278-4-E NSX32704 ; 48 line screen - default of NSX32702 is 24 line screen
3279-4-E NSX32704 ; 48 line screen - default of NSX32702 is 24 line screen
3278-5-E NSX32705 ; 132 column screen - default of NSX32702 is 80 columns
3279-5-E NSX32705 ; 132 column screen - default of NSX32702 is 80 columns
; Define the LUs to be used for general users
ALLOWAPPL * ; Allow access to all applications not previously specified
In this TCP/IP profile, the DEVICE specifies the VTAM TRLE mpc4900 and LINK specifies the link name (MPCPLNK2) associated with the IP address (80.8.2.2) for that link. The IP address 80.80.2.1 must be identical to the IP address specified for the TG in the router configuration.
HSAS Stack Configuration
The following example shows the OE commands for the HSAS stack configuration:
oeifconfig mpc4902 80.80.2.3 80.80.2.1 mtu 4468
oeroute add default 80.80.2.1
In this configuration, mpc4902 must be identical to the TRLE parameter in the oeifconfig configuration.
CMPC+ TG Using Two Interfaces Example
Figure 10 illustrates CMPC+ used between a Cisco router with a CIP and a host with split TGs.
Note
The split TG configuration is only supported on a CIP with two physical interfaces.
Figure 10 CMPC+ with Split TG
Router
The following example shows the CMPC+ router configuration for a split TG:
ip address 80.12.165.1 255.255.255.0
ip route-cache same-interface
tg TG00 hsas-ip 80.12.165.2 80.12.165.1
HSAS Configuration
The following example shows the HSAS configuration on the host:
oeifconfig mpcsplit 80.12.165.2 80.12.165.1 mtu 4468
oeroute add default 80.12.165.1
TRL Major Node for HSAS Stack
The following example shows the TRL major node configuration for the HSAS stack:
MPCSPLIT TRLE LNCTL=MPC,MAXBFRU=16,REPLYTO=3, X
In this TRL major node example, the parameter mpcsplit must be identical to the TRLE parameter in the LINK statement within the oeifconfig statement.
