EXPLICITBINDPORTRANGE has limited support in a CINET environment

Explanation

Specifying the EXPLICITBINDPORTRANGE parameter on the GLOBALCONFIG statement might not have the expected outcome when the TCP/IP stack is configured to be in a common INET (CINET) environment. Application requests to bind to INADDR_ANY and the unspecified IPv6 address (in6addr_any) and port 0 might not result in successful connection setup, unless one of the following criteria are met:
  • CINET has been configured but only a single TCP/IP stack is active at any time.
  • Multiple TCP/IP stacks are active but all applications that perform bind requests to INADDR_ANY and in6addr_any and port 0 have affinity to a specific TCP/IP stack.

System action

TCP/IP profile processing continues. Application requests to bind to INADDR_ANY and in6addr_any and port 0 might not result in successful connection setup, unless the specified criteria are met.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

To ensure that the connection setup is always successful when you are using distributed DVIPAs that are specified on SRCIP rules destination configure an explicit bind port range. You must also configure your system so that the stack is not part of a CINET environment or ensure that the specified criteria are met.
