(1) .-BNDYN--=--LIMITED-------. >>-+-------------------------+--------------------------------->< '-BNDYN--=--+-LIMITED-+---' +-NONE----+ '-FULL----'
Notes:
- BNDYN is meaningful only if the BN=YES start option is also used.
Defines how VTAM® will add nodes dynamically to the adjacent cluster routing list when searching for a resource whose NETID matches the NETID specified on the NETID statement.
You can change the value of BNDYN with the MODIFY VTAMOPTS
command while VTAM is running.
- BNDYN=NONE
- Specifies that no entries will be added to the routing table except
those explicitly identified by the NEXTCP definition statements, in
the adjacent cluster table.
Guideline: In order to search its own network, when BNDYN=NONE is coded and VTAM is the NNS (OLU) or CP (OLU), two adjacent cluster tables are needed (one for alias requests and the other with VTAM's NETID). The adjacent cluster tables are needed in the case that VTAM's directory information does not reflect the actual location of the DLU.
- BNDYN=LIMITED
- Specifies that all active border nodes in the native subnetwork,
as well as active border nodes and peripheral network nodes in nonnative
subnetworks, attached to this node are automatically added to the
routing list if either of the following conditions is met:
- BNs and nonnative network nodes that VTAM learns about whose network ID matches the network ID of the DLU.
- BNs or nonnative network nodes that have previously sent a Locate that carried the network ID of the DLU.
- BNDYN=FULL
- Specifies that all active border nodes in the native subnetwork as well as active border nodes and peripheral network nodes in nonnative subnetworks attached to this node are automatically added to the routing list.
