Cisco 7000 (CLAW) support The c7000 module provides support for a channel attached Cisco 7xxx family router on Linux/390. The parameters for the module are as follows: base0=0xYYYY This parameter defines the base unit address of the channel attached router. lhost0=s1 This parameter defines the local host name and must match the claw directive "host-name" field (first string). The default value is "UTS". uhost0=s2 This parameter defines the unit's name and must match the claw directive "device-name" field (second string). The default value is "C7011". lappl0=s3 This parameter defines the local application name and must match the claw directive "host-app" field (third string). The default value is "TCPIP". uappl0=s4 This parameter defines the unit application name and must match the claw directive "device-app" field (fourth string). The default value is "TCPIP". dbg=x This parameter defines the message level. Higher numbers will result in additional diagnostic messages. The default value is 0. noauto=z This parameter controls the automatic detection of the unit base address (base0). When set to a non zero value, automatic detection of unit base addresses is not done. The default value is 0. Note that the values coded in strings s1 - s4 are case sensitive. For example, assume that the following claw directive has been coded in the Cisco router: claw 0100 6C 129.212.61.101 UTS C7011 TCPIP TCPIP The module can be loaded using the following command: insmod c7000 base0=0x336c lhost0="UTS" uhost0="C7011" lappl0="TCPIP" \ uappl0="TCPIP" dbg=0 noauto=1 Additional interfaces can be defined via parameters base1 - base3, lhost1 - lhost3, lappl1 - lappl3, uhost1 - uhost3, uappl1 - uappl3. The interfaces are named "ci0" - "ci3". After loading the module, the ifconfig command is used to configure the interface. For example: ifconfig ci0 129.212.61.101 ifconfig ci0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 129.212.61.0 ifconfig ci0 The route command is used to specify the router as the default route: route add default gw 129.212.61.200 The interface can be automatically activated at boot time by following this procedure: 1) Add the following two lines to file "/etc/conf.modules": alias ci0 c7000 options c7000 base0=0xYYYY lhost0=s1 uhost0=s2 lappl0=s3 uappl0=s4 2) Edit file "/etc/sysconfig/network" as follows: NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4=no HOSTNAME=your-hostname GATEWAYDEV=ci0 GATEWAY=your-gateway-ip-address Substitute your own host name and gateway IP address. 3) Create a file in directory "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts" called "ifcfg-ci0". The contents are as follows: DEVICE=ci0 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST=your-broadcast-ip-address NETWORK=your-network-address NETMASK=your-netmask IPADDR=your-ip-address Substitute your IP address, broadcast IP address, network address and network mask. 4) chmod +x ifcfg-ci0
