TCP/IP callable NMI (EZBNMIFR)

z/OS® Communications Server provides a high-speed low-overhead callable programming interface for network management applications to access data related to the TCP⁄IP stack. Use the EZBNMIFR network management interface to perform the following functions:

• Drop one or more TCP connections
• Drop one or more UDP endpoints
• Monitor Shared Memory Communications over Remote Direct Memory Access link groups and links within each group
• Monitor Shared Memory Communications - Direct Memory Access (SMC-D) links
• Monitor TCP or UDP endpoints
• Monitor TCP/IP stack interface and global statistics
• Monitor TCP/IP stack profile statement settings
• Monitor TCP⁄IP storage
• Monitor TCP/IP sysplex networking data
• Monitor TN3270E Telnet server performance
• Obtain configuration data of active FTP daemons
• Obtain configuration data of active TN3270E severs

This section describes the details for invoking the EZBNMIFR interface with the defined input parameters and for processing the output it provides. The following topics are addressed:

• EZBNMIFR overview
• EZBNMIFR: Configuration and enablement
• Using the EZBNMIFR requests
• TCP⁄IP NMI request format
• TCP⁄IP NMI response format
• TCP/IP NMI request and response data structures
