1 Cisco 7000 (CLAW) support
3 The c7000 module provides support for a channel attached Cisco 7xxx
4 family router on Linux/390. The parameters for the module are as follows:
6 base0=0xYYYY This parameter defines the base unit address of the
7 channel attached router.
9 lhost0=s1 This parameter defines the local host name and
10 must match the claw directive "host-name" field
11 (first string). The default value is "UTS".
13 uhost0=s2 This parameter defines the unit's name and must
14 match the claw directive "device-name" field
15 (second string). The default value is "C7011".
17 lappl0=s3 This parameter defines the local application name
18 and must match the claw directive "host-app" field
19 (third string). The default value is "TCPIP".
21 uappl0=s4 This parameter defines the unit application name and
22 must match the claw directive "device-app" field
23 (fourth string). The default value is "TCPIP".
25 dbg=x This parameter defines the message level. Higher
26 numbers will result in additional diagnostic messages.
27 The default value is 0.
29 noauto=z This parameter controls the automatic detection of
30 the unit base address (base0). When set to a non
31 zero value, automatic detection of unit base addresses
32 is not done. The default value is 0.
34 Note that the values coded in strings s1 - s4 are case sensitive.
36 For example, assume that the following claw directive has been coded in
39 claw 0100 6C 129.212.61.101 UTS C7011 TCPIP TCPIP
41 The module can be loaded using the following command:
43 insmod c7000 base0=0x336c lhost0="UTS" uhost0="C7011" lappl0="TCPIP" \
44 uappl0="TCPIP" dbg=0 noauto=1
46 Additional interfaces can be defined via parameters base1 - base3,
47 lhost1 - lhost3, lappl1 - lappl3, uhost1 - uhost3, uappl1 - uappl3.
48 The interfaces are named "ci0" - "ci3". After loading the module, the
49 ifconfig command is used to configure the interface. For example:
51 ifconfig ci0 129.212.61.101
52 ifconfig ci0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 129.212.61.0
55 The route command is used to specify the router as the default route:
57 route add default gw 129.212.61.200
59 The interface can be automatically activated at boot time by following this
62 1) Add the following two lines to file "/etc/conf.modules":
65 options c7000 base0=0xYYYY lhost0=s1 uhost0=s2 lappl0=s3 uappl0=s4
67 2) Edit file "/etc/sysconfig/network" as follows:
71 HOSTNAME=your-hostname
73 GATEWAY=your-gateway-ip-address
75 Substitute your own host name and gateway IP address.
77 3) Create a file in directory "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts" called
78 "ifcfg-ci0". The contents are as follows:
84 BROADCAST=your-broadcast-ip-address
85 NETWORK=your-network-address
87 IPADDR=your-ip-address
89 Substitute your IP address, broadcast IP address, network address and
