Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Communications Server   *
  *                 for z/OS Version 1 Release(s)  9, 10, and    *
  *                 11 IP                                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Once VLANpriority is set to enabled,    *
  *                      it requires recycling of TCP/IP stack   *
  *                      to change it to disabled status.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The current Pagent design does not notify TCPIP stack when
  PrioTosVlanTagging value changes.
  The VLANPriority flag is controlled by policy agent.
