Subject: TCPIP Profile (GATEWAY vs BEGIN/ENDROUTES)


Hello List,

I am hoping someone here can help me, although I realize that I should
probably post this on the TCPIP list, of which I am not
subscribed to a the
moment. I am upgrading a release of z/OS ADCD (1.5 to 1.6) and I am
customizing the TCPIP profile for v1.6. The v1.5 TCPIP profile used
BEGINROUTES/ENDROUTES, but the one for the v1.6 system
doesn't even have
those as examples - it only has the GATEWAY (with
DEFAULTNET). So... I'm
flexible... I figured we will go ahead and use GATEWAY. My
only problem is
that I have no earthly idea what the "Subnet Value" should
be. I've pasted
the GATEWAY statement from the 1.6 system below. If anyone
can help or
point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful.

GATEWAY
; Network First Hop Link Name Packet Size Subnet Mask
Subnet Value
xxx.xxx.xxx.0 = ETH1 1500
255.255.255.0 ?????????

All the best,

NO! Continue using the BEGIN/ENDROUTES

<quote>
Because it is compatible with UNIX standards, easier to code than
GATEWAY,
and has enhanced functionality, BEGINROUTES is the recommended method
for
defining static routes. Future static route enhancements will only be
available with the BEGINROUTES statement.
