Enabling a client application to use IPv6 temporary or public addresses

z/OS Communications Server: IPv6 Network and Application Design Guide
SC27-3663-00

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.

Before you begin

You need to have configured the TCP/IP stack to generate temporary IPv6 addresses. See Configuring a TCP/IP stack to generate IPv6 temporary addresses.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to enable a client application to use IPv6 temporary or public addresses:

  1. Identify the job name of the client application for which temporary or public addresses will be used.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
