IST2129I
CONNECTIVITY TEST FAILED - MISMATCH OF IP ADDRESS FAMILY

Explanation

A DISPLAY EEDIAG,TEST=YES command was issued to perform an Enterprise Extender connectivity test. This message is the first message in a group of messages displayed when the test fails because the remote IP address is not in the same IP address family as the local IP address; for example, the local IP address is an IPv4 address and the remote IP address is an IPv6 address. If the addresses are in different families, the Enterprise Extender connection cannot be established. A complete description of the message group follows.
 IST2129I CONNECTIVITY TEST FAILED - MISMATCH OF IP ADDRESS FAMILY
 IST1680I type IP ADDRESS ip_address
[IST1909I REMOTE HOSTNAME value]
[IST1911I value]
 IST1680I type IP ADDRESS ip_address
[IST1910I LOCAL HOSTNAME value]
[IST1911I value]
 IST314I END
IST1680I
  • In the message text:
    type
    Identifies the IP address that is displayed. The type value is either LOCAL or REMOTE..
    ip_address
    Either the remote IP address or the local IP address. The first instance of the IST1680I message displays the local IP address, and the second instance of the IST1680I message displays the remote IP address.
IST1909I
  • In the message text:
    value
    The host name, owned by a target remote node, that was used to acquire the remote IP address as part of name-to-address resolution. If the host name is longer than 44 characters, then the first 44 characters are displayed as the value value and the remaining characters are displayed in one or more IST1911I messages.
IST1910I
  • In the message text:
    value
    The host name used to acquire the local static VIPA address that is used as part of the attempted route determination. If the host name is longer than 45 characters, then the first 45 characters are displayed as the value value and the remaining characters are displayed in one or more IST1911I messages.
IST1911I
  • In the message text:
    value
    The continuation of the value value on message IST1909I or IST1910I. Message IST1911I is repeated as many times as necessary to display the entire character string.

System action

The DISPLAY EEDIAG,TEST=YES command is not performed.

Operator response

If both a local and remote IP address are supplied as input to the D NET,EEDIAG,TEST=YES command, enter the command again specifying both IPADDR filters from the same IP address family. Otherwise, save the console log for problem determination.

System programmer response

The Enterprise Extender connectivity test cannot be performed if the local and remote IP addresses are not in the same address family. If the correct host name is being specified on the display command, verify the following:
  • The name-to-address resolution mapping for the host name yields the expected static VIPA address (if on a z/OS® host) of the node that owns the host name.
  • If network address translation (NAT) is in use, the name-to-address resolution mapping for the host name yields the correct NAT address to ultimately reach the target static VIPA address of the node that owns the host name.

If the resolution is not correct, update the DNS zone files or the appropriate local host files with the corrected name-to-address resolution. If the resolution is intended to yield an IPv6 address, ensure that the TCP/IP stack is enabled for IPv6 processing so that the resolver searches for IPv6 addresses. See the information about resolvers in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for more information about the resolver function.
