Advanced Configuration Techniques
The following advanced configuration techniques are useful in networks
where there are multiple DLC (Data Link Control) types connecting one
or more HP 9000 server s to the remote SNA system. For example, a
standalone server might use a Token Ring LAN to communicate with the
remote system, but have an SDLC DLC ready to use if the token ring is
unavailable.

The idea is that when SNA networking problems occur, simply switching
to a different link type on the same HP 9000 server often restores
network connectivity without having to perform a remote failover.
Previously, we discussed how to use snapmon as a Service in the
Package Control Script to monitor an SNAplus2 LS and inform
ServiceGuard of a failure. In the following sections we will explain how
