After you have configured a TCP/IP stack to generate IPv6
temporary addresses, you must enable the client application to use
these addresses or IPv6 public addresses.
Procedure
Perform the following steps to enable a client application
to use IPv6 temporary or public addresses:
- Identify the job name of the client application for which
temporary or public addresses will be used.
- Specify that temporary IPv6 addresses are preferred for
an application:
- Specify a JOBNAME jobname TEMPADDRS entry on
the SRCIP statement.
- Use the socket API extensions to specify source IP address preferences
at the socket level.
For more information about the SRCIP statement, see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference. This information includes a description
of how the job name is determined for an application.
- Specify that public IPv6 addresses are preferred for an
application:
- Specify a JOBNAME jobname PUBLICADDRS entry
on the SRCIP statement.
- Use the socket API extensions to specify source IP address preferences
at the socket level.
For more information about the SRCIP statement, see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference. The information includes a description of
how the job name is determined for an application.
What to do next
When you are done, you can display the configured and generated
temporary address information. See
Displaying the configured and generated temporary or public address information.
