EZZ8069I
IPV6_INTERFACE DEFINITION FOR interface IS REDUNDANT BUT WAS ALREADY USED

Explanation

Processing a RECONFIG command caused a new IPV6_RIP_INTERFACE or IPV6_OSPF_INTERFACE wildcard definition, or both to be added, which would make an existing IPV6_INTERFACE definition redundant. However in this case the IPv6_INTERFACE definition had already been used to configure an installed stack interface before the RECONFIG command was issued, so it cannot be ignored or deleted.

Usually, when matching stack interfaces to OMPROUTE interface definitions, the IPV6_OSPF_INTERFACE and IPV6_RIP_INTERFACE definitions are searched before the IPv6_INTERFACE definitions. If an IPV6_OSPF_INTERFACE or an IPV6_RIP_INTERFACE definition is found for the interface, IPV6_INTERFACE definitions are not considered, even if they are explicit, or are more specific wildcards than the IPV6_RIP_INTERFACE or IPv6_OSPF_INTERFACE definitions that were found. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for more information.

interface is the name of the interface defined to OMPROUTE.

System action

Processing continues. The redundant IPv6_Interface is not deleted because it was already used to configure an installed stack interface.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

Ensure that you understand how wildcard interfaces are parsed. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for more information about defining IPv6 interfaces, if the IPv6 OSPF or IPv6 RIP protocol is used. If you use the RECONFIG command to add interface definitions to OMPROUTE, add the interface definition to OMPROUTE before the interface is installed to the stack. OMPROUTE does not use new definitions added using RECONFIG to configure stack interfaces that are already installed.
