z/OS Communications Server: IP Messages Volume 4 (EZZ, SNM)
SC27-3657-01

EZZ8138I
jobname discarded a packet that was received on backup ipversion OSPF interface interface

Explanation

This message is produced when an inbound unicast IPv4 or IPv6 packet is received on a backup parallel OSPF Interface. It is required that inbound unicast OSPF packets are received on the primary OSPF interface.

Receiving OSPF packets on a backup OSPF interface can result in the following conditions:
  • New OSPF adjacencies cannot form, which prevents OMPROUTE from learning new routes from its neighbors.
  • Existing OSPF adjacencies fail with an EZZ7921I message for IPv4 adjacencies, or an EZZ7954I message for IPv6 adjacencies. This causes OMPROUTE to lose any existing routes previously learned from its neighbors.

This scenario might occur if OMPROUTE is running with parallel OSPF interfaces in the same subnet as another OMPROUTE that is the designated router or backup designated router and shares an OSA card in QDIO mode with that other OMPROUTE. If one OMPROUTE has the shared OSA card as the primary OSPF interface and the other OMPROUTE has the shared OSA card as the backup OSPF interface, this message is issued and the OSPF adjacency is not formed.

In the message text:
jobname
The name of the OMPROUTE instance.
ipversion
The IP version (IPv4 or IPv6).
interface
The name of the interface on which the packet was received.

System action

OMPROUTE continues but the inbound packet is discarded.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

If the problem is because an OSA card is being shared, change the Router_Priority value to 0 on the OSPF_Interface statement in the OMPROUTE configuration for both systems. This prevents OMPROUTE from becoming the designated router or backup designated router. If OMPROUTE must be capable of acting as the designated router or backup designated router, code the Parallel_OSPF option on the OSPF_Interface statements to the same value, either Primary or Backup, in the OMPROUTE configuration for both systems.

If the problem persists after taking this corrective action, collect an IP packet trace and an OMPROUTE debug trace and contact the IBM® software support center.

User response

Not applicable.
