Allen-Bradley 800G-DLSW

The 800G-DLSW part number is linked to Data Link Switching (DLSw), an essential tunneling protocol that facilitates the transportation of non-IP based protocols like IBM Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and NetBIOS across IP networks. By offering switching capabilities at the SNA Data Link layer and encapsulating data in TCP/IP, DLSw enables efficient communication without full routing, ensuring a reliable transport between Data Link Switches through TCP. While specific alarm and error codes are not available, comprehensive troubleshooting and configuration guides can be found in Cisco documentation, which also covers enhanced features of DLSw+. Installation and programming are primarily managed by network administrators who configure routers and switches to optimize DLSw connections, including the setup of transport options and media conversion, making it a vital component for seamless network integration.
