Definitions

NCPROUTE must be defined correctly to both NCP and TCP/IP. UDP port 580 must be reserved for NCPROUTE. Routes to the NCP clients must be defined on the Start of changeBEGINROUTESEnd of change or the BSDROUTINGPARMS statement for NCPROUTE connectivity.

See z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference for detailed information about TCP/IP and NCPROUTE server definitions.

Internet interfaces (token ring and Ethernet) and NCST logical units for communication with the TCP/IP host must be defined for each NCP client through NCP generation.

Guideline: If you use SNMP to query routing information of NCP clients, the SNMP query engine and agent must be configured correctly. For NCPROUTE to communicate with the SNMP agent, the MVS™ host name or IP address and community name must be defined in the NCPROUTE profile, SEZAINST(NCPRPROF). The SNMP agent community name must also be defined in the hlq.PW.SRC data set for proper verification.

See z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference for detailed information about SNMP definitions.
