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 the 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.
DNS usage in BCAM can have an influence on the AEC (see section "Controlled server operation" und "Assigning processor and route names"). If this is desired, you must also activate DNS usage:
/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.
