For Enterprise Extender (EE), this option determines whether VTAM® accepts inbound UDP packets that are destined to one of the five EE ports (defined by IPPORT), that specify an ephemeral source port. You can modify this start option.
- EEPORTCK=NO
- Specifies that VTAM accepts inbound UDP packets that are destined to one of the five EE ports, which specify an ephemeral source port.
- EEPORTCK=YES
- Specifies that VTAM does
not accept inbound UDP packets that are destined to one of the five
EE ports, which specify an ephemeral source port. If the source and
destination ports do not match, the packet is immediately discarded.
Result: Some EE platforms use an ephemeral source port for EE communications. Specifying EEPORTCK=YES in these configurations might result in loss of connectivity to these EE platforms. Similar connectivity issues might result if your EE communications uses network address port translation (NAPT).
