z/OS Communications Server: IPv6 Network and Application Design Guide
SC27-3663-00

Use a VIPA, either static or dynamic, as the source IP address on IPv6 hosts. When you use a VIPA, an IPv6 address can be resolved to a host name.

Procedure

Define a VIPA to be used as the source IP address by using any of the following available configuration statements:
  • SOURCEVIPAINT parameter on the INTERFACE statement
  • TCPSTACKSOURCEVIPA parameter on the IPCONFIG6 statement
  • SRCIP statement
For more information about choosing an appropriate method for specifying a source VIPA, see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide.

Results

If you have also implemented the guidelines in Updating DNS definitions, an IPv6 address can be resolved to a host name.
