Guidelines for using TEMPIP interfaces

Follow these guidelines when you are using TEMPIP interfaces:

• Do not code the SOURCEVIPAINTERFACE parameter because DHCP servers expect a source IP address of 0.0.0.0 on packets from the DHCP client.
• If the VMAC parameter is defined on the INTERFACE statement, you must specify the virtual MAC address. If you delete a device and then add it back, the generated VMAC address of this device is changed.
• You must define the IPBCAST parameter on the INTERFACE statement to allow broadcasts.
• The VLANID parameter is supported for TEMPIP interfaces, except when multiple interfaces are sharing an OSA-Express® feature.
