Step 1: Specify configuration statements in hlq.PROFILE.TCPIP

  1. To have the NCPROUTE server started automatically when the TCPIP address space is started, include the name of the member containing the NCPROUTE cataloged procedure in the AUTOLOG statement in hlq.PROFILE.TCPIP:
        AUTOLOG
           NCPROUT
        ENDAUTOLOG
  2. To ensure that UDP port 580 is reserved for the NCPROUTE server, also add the name of the member containing the NCPROUTE cataloged procedure to the PORT statement in hlq.PROFILE.TCPIP:
        PORT
           580 UDP NCPROUT
    Note: This port number must match the one defined in the NCP generation definition (using the UDPPORT keyword on the IPOWNER statement) and assigned in hlq.ETC.SERVICES.
  3. NCPROUTE also requires HOME and BSDROUTINGPARMS statements for the SNALINK type LU0 and IP over CDLC connections. For example, you would use this HOME and BSDROUTINGPARMS statement and, optionally, the BEGINROUTES or GATEWAY statement for the configuration shown in Figure 1:
        MVS1:   HOME
                   9.67.116.66  SNALINK
                   BSDROUTINGPARMS false
                     SNALINK 2000     0    255.255.240.0    9.67.116.65
                   ENDBSDROUTINGPARMS
        MVS2:   HOME
                   12.1.1.1   IPC1
                   12.1.1.2   IPC2
                   BSDROUTINGPARMS false
                     IPC1    1000     0    255.255.255.0   12.1.1.98
                     IPC2    1000     0    255.255.255.0   12.1.1.99
                   ENDBSDROUTINGPARMS
        MVS3:   HOME
                   13.1.1.1   IPC3
                   BSDROUTINGPARMS false
                     IPC3    1000     0    255.255.255.128   13.1.1.99
                   ENDBSDROUTINGPARMS
    Notes:
    1. If you are not using OMPROUTE to manage the host routes, configure static routes to the NCP client or clients in the BEGINROUTES or GATEWAY statement in hlq.PROFILE.TCPIP. The BSDROUTINGPARMS statement is required to route transport PDUs over static routes. See Step 9: Define a directly connected host route for the NCST session for sample definition. For more information on the BEGINROUTES or GATEWAY statement, see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference for each NCP client.
    2. If using NCPROUTE with OMPROUTE, the BSDROUTINGPARMS statement is required to route transport PDUs prior to OMPROUTE activation. Because the BSDROUTINGPARMS parameters are overridden by the interface parameters defined in the OMPROUTE configuration, ensure that the interface parameters for the SNALINK or IP/CDLC channel connections are identical in both the BSDROUTINGPARMS statement and the OMPROUTE configuration file.

You can find a complete explanation of these configuration statements in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.
