You don't, not directly. To transport SNA traffic over an IP network requires Enterprise Extender (EE) aka High Performance Routing/IP (HPR/IP) technology. This service is provided for VM and VSE by IBM Communications Server for Linux. It can talk to other EE implementations. I think Cisco SNAsw is based on EE, so I you would not have to change the other end of the connection. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
