Associating OSI and TCP/IP Addresses

There are two ways in which you can associate OSI addresses with the IP addresses used by TCP/IP. For example

  • Specify (embed) an IP address inside of an OSI NSAP address. This feature is available to users of release 45.1 or later software and is described in Defining an NSAP Address Which Contains an Embedded IP Address.

  • Pair an IP address with an OSI NSAP address. Users running on software levels prior to release 45.1 must use this method to associate OSI and TCP/IP addresses. You can configure OSI-TCP/IP address pairs by issuing the appropriate OI commands. Address pairing is described in Configuring OSI-TCP/IP Address Pairs.
