Migrating from AnyNet to Enterprise Extender

It is suggested that Enterprise Extender be used in place of AnyNet®. To do the conversion, you must migrate the existing AnyNet configurations to the HPRIP controllers.

Consider the following factors when you do migration:

• While AnyNet can handle several remote links with only one controller, Enterprise Extender needs one HPRIP controller for each remote node that has a direct link. A new controller description must be created for each remote node that is being migrated from AnyNet.
• AnyNet provided low-entry networking (LEN) functions, and not full APPN support. HPRIP controllers provide full APPN functions. Remote definitions on the configuration lists need to be deleted.
• TCP host definition entries are no longer required for Enterprise Extender because the mapping is done in the controller definition.
• AnyNet and Enterprise Extender can coexist, and there can even be parallel configurations of AnyNet and Enterprise Extender during the migrations.
