IPv6 and SNMP

The following SNMP components operate over IPv6 networks and handle IPv6-related management data.

SNMP agent
z/OS® UNIX snmp/osnmp command
Trap Forwarder daemon
Distributed Protocol Interface (DPI)
TN3270 Telnet subagent

Requirement: The TCP/IP stack on your system must support IPv6 networking to take advantage of the IPv6 support offered by these components. If your system does not support IPv6 networking, then these applications operate in IPv4 mode.

The TCP/IP subagent supports IPv6 management data in the following MIB modules:

IF-MIB from RFC 2233 - Interface data
IP-MIB from RFC 4293 - IP and ICMP data
IP-FORWARD-MIB from RFC 4292 - Route data
TCP-MIB from RFC 4022 - TCP connection data
UDP-MIB from RFC 4113 - UDP endpoint data
TCP/IP Enterprise-specific MIB (IBMTCPIPMVS-MIB)

For more information about the TCP/IP subagent support, see z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's Commands.
