Automatic end system creation (AEC) permits automatic generation of a partner system and/or its route at the time of the first communication relationship. AEC enables you to operate BCAM with a minimum network configuration by means of dynamic or static generation. The minimum configuration comprises the accesses to the network and the connected routers.
You can enable and disable AEC using the BCOPTION ... AUTOMATIC-ES-CREATE command. Here you can also filter according to protocol types and triggering events, see the section "Activate AEC".
The access to the host with automatic end system creation enabled can be further controlled, see section "Open and controlled server operation".
Following termination of the communication link to the corresponding partner, entries that were created using automatic end system creation are released after an interval of at least 20 minutes.
In addition, it is also possible to delete end system entries for IP, IPv6 and INTF explicitly with the DELETE-PROCESSOR or DELETE-ROUTE commands.
If access to particular routing table entries should no longer be possible, the systems concerned must be taken out of service explicitly using a BCDAC or BCOUT command.
Examples of AEC are provided in the section " Examples of automatic end system creation".
