|
||
|
|
<div><p>This topic highlights changed functions to Remote access services:
|
||
|
|
PPP connections for V5R4.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><h4 class="sectiontitle">Changed functions</h4><ul><li><strong>Call log</strong><p>Call
|
||
|
|
logs are important records of the data that flows to or from the modem during
|
||
|
|
a PPP session. They are saved or deleted based on the Start TCP/IP Point-to-Point
|
||
|
|
(STRTCPPTP) command OUTPUT parameter (*ERROR or *PRINT or *NONE).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In
|
||
|
|
previous releases, call log spooled files were named call log<var class="varname">nnnnnn</var>,
|
||
|
|
where <var class="varname">nnnnnn</var> was the job number of the <var class="varname">nnnnnn</var>/QTCP/QTPPPSSN
|
||
|
|
job.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In V5R4, all PPP sessions run in thread <var class="varname">nnnnnn</var>/QTCP/QTPPPCTL.
|
||
|
|
Call log spooled files are named CL<var class="varname">mmmmmmmm</var>, where <var class="varname">mmmmmmmm</var> is the thread ID. This allows you to match
|
||
|
|
session messages in the QTPPPCTL job log (which have a <tt class="sysout">Thread
|
||
|
|
.... 00000028</tt> field) with the corresponding call log.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>QTPPPSSN and QTPPPL2SSN</strong><ul><li><p>QTPPPSSN and QTPPPL2SSN (L2TP) jobs are PPP session jobs in releases
|
||
|
|
prior to IBM<sup>®</sup> i5/OS™ V5R4.
|
||
|
|
They were started and ended with STRTCPPTP and End Point-to-Point TCP/IP (ENDTCPPTP)
|
||
|
|
commands or by QTPPPL2TP when a tunnel was established or ended. They can
|
||
|
|
also be started or ended automatically as links were started or ended by the
|
||
|
|
multilink protocol.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>As of V5R4, PPP no longer uses QTPPPSSN and QTPPPL2SSn
|
||
|
|
jobs. Sessions run as threads in QTPPPCTL. </p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><p>In releases prior to i5/OS V5R4, Work with Point-to-Point TCP/IP Profiles
|
||
|
|
(WRKTCPPTP) command option 14 (Work with job) brought up the active session
|
||
|
|
job. Occasionally it will start QTPPPL2TP if there was no active PPP session
|
||
|
|
for the L2TP profile.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In V5R4, WRKTCPPTP option 14 brings up QTPPPCTL
|
||
|
|
if a session thread is active in that job.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p></p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Message log</strong><p>In V5R4, there is a new message log spooled file
|
||
|
|
for session messages. It collects messages from the session thread, messages
|
||
|
|
from the initial thread that are the result of work on the behalf of the session,
|
||
|
|
and messages from spawned processes into one spooled file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A message
|
||
|
|
log spooled file is named ML<var class="varname">mmmmmmmm</var>, where <var class="varname">mmmmmmmm</var> is
|
||
|
|
the thread ID. This allows the matching of call logs, message logs, and session
|
||
|
|
messages in the QTPPPCTL job log (which have a <tt class="sysout">Thread .... 00000028</tt> field).</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>QTPPPCTL and QTPPPL2TP</strong><p>In V5R4, QTPPPCTL job uses multiple system
|
||
|
|
threads to run sessions as threads instead of as separate processes (QTPPPSSN
|
||
|
|
and QTPPPL2SSN). </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>QTPPPCTL job starts a secondary session and link threads to replace the old
|
||
|
|
QTPPPSSN and QTPPPL2SSN session and link jobs.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>QTPPPCTL job is returned
|
||
|
|
on application programming interfaces (APIs) and the iSeries™ Navigator GUI when session jobs
|
||
|
|
are requested.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Ethernet adapters</strong><p>In V5R4, the list of Ethernet adapters that
|
||
|
|
support PPPoE expands to include type 2743, 2760, 2838, 2849, 287F, 5700,
|
||
|
|
5701, 5706, 5707, and 573A Ethernet adapters.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>PPPoE</strong><p>In V5R4, PPPoE can share the same adapter as IPv4 and
|
||
|
|
IPv6 traffic.</p>
|
||
|
