either the GRE or ENCAP parameters. 
 In the message text:
parm
The parameter specified on the VIPADISTRIBUTE DEFINE statement
linenum
The line number in the configuration file at which the problem
was detected

System action
 If processing an initial profile or
a VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command, TCP/IP continues, but the VIPADISTRIBUTE
statement is ignored.
This message is also displayed
as part of VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK processing when the VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK
command detects this error in a profile data set. No changes are applied
to the active configuration by VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK processing.

Operator response
 Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response
 To correct the problem,
make one of these changes: 
Remove the specified parameter:Re-issue the VIPADISTRIBUTE
DEFINE statement with the specified parameter removed.

Add the TIER1 parameter (if not already specified) and add either
the GRE or ENCAP parameter.Issue VIPADISTRIBUTE DELETE statements for all previous VIPADISTRIBUTE
DEFINE statements for this DVIPA.  Issue a VIPADELETE for the DVIPA.
 (These actions are not needed for VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK processing.)
Re-issue a VIPADEFINE statement for the DVIPA with the TIER1 parameter,
and re-issue the VIPADISTRIBUTE DEFINE statements with the TIER1 and
either the GRE or ENCAP parameter. 

If this message was displayed as a result of VARY
TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK processing, issue the command again after updating

Automation
This message is directed to the console.
You can use automation to detect and respond to TCP/IP profile errors
reported during initial profile and VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE processing.
This message can also be displayed  during VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK
processing. Because the VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK command does not affect
the active configuration, you might want to adjust your automation
to ignore the configuration messages that are displayed after EZZ0061I
and before EZZ0065I.

         GRE OR ENCAP ARE SPECIFIED
