Use the VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK command to check the syntax
of TCP/IP profile configuration statements without affecting the system
operation or network configuration.
Subject to the
restrictions listed below, you can direct this command to any TCP/IP
stack that is of the same release level as the profile statements
in the profile data set. The profile statements do not need to be
related in any way to the active configuration.
Restriction: The
VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK command makes no attempt to update the active configuration; therefore,
it does not detect and report conflicts with the active configuration.
The following list shows some examples of the conflicts with the active
configuration that
VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK cannot
detect:
- Defining an interface more than once
- Deleting an interface that is not currently configured
- Defining an IPv6 interface on an IPv4-only stack
