General control using BCAM options

&pagelevel(5)&pagelevel

Prerequisites

In order to provide the desired functionality, BCAM (automatically) activates the following system options internally, provided this has not already been done by means of the BCOPTION or MODIFY-BCAM-OPTIONS command:

For connections via IP:

  • ARP=QUIET

  • BROADCAST=ON

For connections via ISO8473:

  • ISO9542=ON

Activating AEC

Automatic end system creation must be explicitly activated using the following command:

/BCOPTION AUTOMATIC-ES-CREATE=ON(PROFIL=...,REASON=...,)

With the PROFIL parameter you select the profiles for which extension is to take place.

  • PROFIL=IP
    The configuration extension occurs only for IP protocols.

  • PROFIL=IPV6
    The configuration extension occurs only for IPv6 protocols.

  • PROFIL=ISO8473
    The configuration extension occurs only for ISO8473/ISO9542 protocols.

  • PROFIL=*ALL
    The configuration extension occurs for IP and IPv6 as well as for ISO8473/ISO9542 protocols.

With the REASON parameter you specify the events for which the configuration extension is to occur:

  • REASON=INCOMING-DATA
    The extension occurs in the event of incoming messages from the network (e.g. connection setup by a previously unknown PC).

  • REASON=OUTGOING-DATA
    The extension occurs as a result of actions in the local system which require the dispatch of messages to the network, e.g. connection setup by a previously unknown PC).

  • REASON=ROUTING-PROTOCOL
    The extension occurs when routing protocol elements from the network (e.g. ISO9542 ISH-PDU) are received from a previously unknown intermediate system.

  • REASON=ROUTING-DATA
    The extension occurs as a result of routing data elements that are not sent via an IP broadcast.
    This setting requires the entries PROFILE=IP and IP-ROUTING=ON.

  • REASON=INCOMING-BROADCAST
    The extension is triggered by incoming IP broadcast data.
    This entry is only evaluated for PROFILE=IP and PROFILE=*ALL.

  • REASON=SNMP
    The extension occurs on receiving SNMP write accesses (required setting: BCOPTION SNMP-WRITE=ON).
    This entry is only evaluated for PROFILE=IP.

  • REASON=*ALL
    The extension is required for each of the above reasons.

As soon as DNS is to be used, you must also set the following:

/MODIFY-BCAM-OPTION DNS-OPTIONS=*PARAMETERS(DNS-USAGE=*ON)

All these specifications have a cumulative effect. If a particular subfunction is no longer desired, it must be explicitly deactivated. The configuration is extended as soon as the function is activated, provided a corresponding routing table entry does not already exist. If the function is deactivated with BCOPTION AUTOMATIC-ES-CREATE=OFF, no further entries are made in the routing tables.
If certain routing table entries are no longer accessed, the corresponding system must be shut down explicitly by means of a BCDAC or BCOUT command.

Do not issue the BCOPTION command until all the routers have been entered and all the required server ports released.
