We are in the process of customizing a 3174-11L Control Unit, with
a GATEWAY/TOKEN RING CONNECTION.
We are running VM/VTAM 3.1.1, and the control unit is a Local SNA
device. The token ring network has 24 stations.
When we try start the PU for the Token Ring we get the following
VTAM error:
"IST605 Error for ID=PU2XXX-Request; Contacted. Data Invalid
for this node..."
I'm including here the VTAM list for the Token Ring.
V25LOB00 VBUILD TYPE=LOCAL
PU2HCA13 PU CUADDR=B01, +

Any idea or suggestion of what is happening?
Thanking in advance for any help,

If the 3174 thinks it is a node (PU) type 2.1, it could be sending the wrong kind of XID to VTAM. VTAM doesn't support adjacent (eg, local SNA) connections to type 2.1 nodes until its V3R3.

From: Jerri Nunley We did the same here last year--so I am trying to recall from my own "offline" information stored in my mind. It seems we had to use an address that ended in '0' for the cuaddr when configuring a token-ring gateway on a 3174 address. We actually had to change the sysgen address of the controller from 708 to 720 in order to set up the gateway. Perhaps this might help you. The red book, "Installation Guidelines for IBM Token-Ring Network Products", GG-24-3291-00, Chapter 9--3174 Local Gateway, has information that may help you. Good luck!
