APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The getaddrinfo and inet_ntop functions fail when
    given an IPv6 address string containing a scope
    or zone specification.  This specification
    consists of a percent sign ("%") followed by a
    string at the end of the IPv6 address.  The result
    is that applications such as ssh work with standard
    IPv6 addresses but fail when a scope or zone is
    appended to the same IPv6 address.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • Applications such as ssh will fail when a scope or zone part
    is appended to the IPv6 address.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code changes are made to handle IPv6 address with zone part.
    

Temporary fix
