Flexible Network Design
The BayStack AN and ANH meet the
connectivity needs of remote offices
while providing an extra level of
availability. Additionally, the BayStack
AN and ANH support SNA/SDLC
integration. Multiple network design
options are available (see Figure 1).
Dial Backup
Dial Backup maintains remote office
connectivity if the primary remote-to-
central site link (leased line or packet
switched service) fails. The BayStack
AN and ANH initiate, monitor, and
terminate dial backup connections to
maximize network availability, while
minimizing dial-up charges.
Bandwidth-on-Demand
Bandwidth-on-Demand provides a
supplemental dial connection if the
primary link becomes congested,
maintaining user-required perform-
ance levels.
Dial-on-Demand
Because of the limited amount of
internetwork traffic generated by
small remote offices, maintaining
dedicated links to such sites is not
always cost-effective. Dial-on-
Demand cost-effectively extends
internetwork connectivity to remote
offices on an as-needed basis.
SDLC Transport
SDLC transport enables the BayStack
AN and ANH to transmit SNA/SDLC
traffic across a multiprotocol back-
bone via standards-based DLSw for
SDLC or Transparent Synchronous
Pass-Through features. These features
reduce the cost of wide area networks
by consolidating parallel lines, allow-
ing SDLC traffic to be sent across the
multiprotocol backbone to a remote
IBM host.
Integrated Router-Hub
Connectivity
The integrated Ethernet hub configu-
rations allow the BayStack ANH to
manage and connect eight or twelve
10BASE-T remote workgroup
resources directly to a central site via
leased line and/or packet switched
services.
