Configure OMPROUTE to Handle Provisioned IP Addresses

page 12 of 14

Perform this step outside of the Network Configuration Assistant GUI. This step is necessary to configure only the TCP/IP stacks that are used for Cloud and are running OMPROUTE unless OMPROUTE has already been configured for the IP addresses to be used for Cloud. The z/OS Cloud provisions IP addresses as dynamic VIPAs. See z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide: Dynamic VIPAs and routing protocols for more information.

Use wildcarding in OMPROUTE configuration files to associate provisioned IP addresses with OSPF interfaces:

For IPv4 interfaces, see the description of the IP_ADDRESS parameter of the OSPF_Interface statement in the OMPROUTE configuration file in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.
For IPv6 interfaces, see the description of the Name parameter of the IPv6_OSPF_Interface statement in the OMPROUTE configuration file in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference. Interface names for provisioned IPv6 addresses are dynamically generated and are of the format, "I<n>" where 'n' is composed of 1-15 digits in the range, 0-9, for example, I2467, I874972, etc.
