Configuring the Network Control

Process

This section explains how to configure and start the network control process ($NCP).

Configuring and starting $NCP involves the following steps:

Step 1: Create a Profile for $NCP on page 6-1

Step 2: Create $NCP on page 6-2

Step 3: Start $NCP on page 6-4

You perform all these steps using the SCF interface to the WAN subsystem. This

section also describes the $NCP profile modifiers in $NCP Modifiers on page 6-4.

Step 1: Create a Profile for $NCP

You can create a profile for $NCP by using the PEXPNCP profile in $SYSTEM.SYSnn.

This step shows how to create a profile using the PEXPNCP profile.

ADD Profile Command

To create a profile from the PEXPNCP profile template, use the WAN subsystem SCF

ADD PROFILE command. The command syntax is as follows:

$ZZWAN.profile_name

specifies, via the WAN subsystem, a user-defined name of up to eight

alphanumeric characters to be used to identify the new profile. You will reference

this profile name when you create $NCP in Step 2: Create $NCP.

FILE $SYSTEM.SYSnn.PEXPNCP

specifies the name of an existing disk file that will be used to create the new

profile. PEXPNCP is the disk file name of the profile for $NCP.

modifier_keyword

is the name of a $NCP modifier in profile_name. Modifier names in the

PEXPNCP profile are listed in $NCP Modifiers on page 6-4.

Note. You can also create a new profile from an existing profile, or you can create your own

profile. For complete information about profiles, refer to the WAN Subsystem Configuration and

Management Manual.
