Failure of One SDLC Multidrop Connection Reactivates All Others (135494)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11, when used with:
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT
This article was previously published under Q135494 SYMPTOMS
A multidrop connection is a connection through which a primary computer
communicates with multiple secondary computers. SNA Server supports
multidrop connections to peer or downstream computers on leased SDLC lines.
You can configure up to four multidrop connections on each line with one
SNA Server server acting as primary on each.
When SNA Server Admin is configured with more than 1 multidrop primary SDLC
connections and the active connection has an outage or timeout, the failing
connection is reactivated. However, all the other connections using the
same link service are (incorrectly) activated or reactivated as well.
