Assignment of LUs to Null Subnet (0.0.0.0) Not Fully Supported (171257)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q171257 SYMPTOMS
SNA Server 3.0 supports the ability to assign 3270 LUs to workstations.
Although it is possible to assign 3270 LUs to an IP subnet address, this
does not work reliably in SNA Server versions 3.0 and 3.0 Service Pack 1
(SP1).
Assigning an LU to a null (0.0.0.0) subnet will fail in SNA Server version
3.0 SP1 if any other IP subnets or workstation addresses are subsequently
added.
CAUSE
The ability to assign an LU to a null subnet was added in SNA Server
version 3.0 SP1; however, in order for this feature to work properly, the
null subnet must be the last address in the list.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 and
3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA
Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base

MORE INFORMATION
With the fix applied, the null subnet no longer needs to be the last
address on the list.
