Kpp_AGT_TCP_KDEB_INTERFACELIST

Use the KPP_AGT_TCP_KDEB_INTERFACELIST parameter to specify a list of network interfaces you want the monitoring agent to use. If the agent requires network interface list support and your site runs more than one TCP/IP interface or network adapter on the same z/OS image, you can specify network interfaces to be used by monitoring servers and monitoring agents running on a z/OS system. You specify the network interfaces in the IP communication protocol parameters for each component.

Note: Specify !* as the value if this agent runs on the same candidate z/OS image where a High Availability (HA) Hub TEMS is running.

Description
TCP/IP network interface list

This parameter specifies a list of network interfaces you want the monitoring agent to use. This parameter is required for sites that are running multiple TCP/IP interfaces or network adapters on the same z/OS® image.

Setting this parameter allows you to direct the monitoring agent to connect to a specific TCP/IP local interface. Specify the network adapters as one or more of the following values:
  • A fully-qualified hostname, for example sys.ibm.com
  • The first qualifier of the fully-qualified hostname, for example sys from sys.ibm.com
  • An IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation, for example 9.67.1.100

If your site supports DNS, you can enter the short hostname or an IP address. If your site does not support DNS, you must enter the fully qualified hostname. This field is only applicable for networks with multiple interface cards for which a specific output network interface list is required.

If an interface address or a list of interface addresses is specified, the Configuration Software generates the KDEB_INTERFACELIST parameter in the KPPENV member of the rhilev.midlev.rtename.RKANPARU library.

Note: This value defaults to the IPv4 network interface list setting used by the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server if one is configured in this IPL16 RTE. Also, separate the entries using a blank space between interface addresses. For example: 
 ==> 129.0.131.214 SYS1 SYS.IBM.COM
In addition, special considerations apply when specifying !<&value> or * for this field.
  • Use !<&value> to specify a value for the interface address.
  • Use an asterisk (*) to indicate all values are allowed for the interface address.
