QDIO ACCELERATOR IS ENABLED ONLY FOR SYSPLEX DISTRIBUTOR BECAUSE OF TCPIP PROFILE FILTER RULES

Explanation

QDIO Accelerator will accelerate only Sysplex Distributor traffic. Routed traffic cannot be accelerated for one of the following reasons:
  • You have no IP security filters configured in your TCP/IP profile, or the current IP security filters configured in your TCP/IP profile do not explicitly permit all routed traffic.
  • Filter logging is enabled for routed traffic in your TCP/IP profile.

To satisfy your configured IP filters, routed traffic must be processed by the TCP/IP stack, where IP filtering is implemented.

System action

Processing continues with QDIO Accelerator enabled only for sysplex distributor traffic.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

No action is required if any of the following conditions are true:
  • Your security policy requires some routed traffic to be denied
  • Your security policy requires some routed traffic to be protected using IPsec
  • Your security policy requires some routed traffic to be subject to filter logging
  • You do not want to use QDIO acceleration for your routed traffic

If your security policy allows all routed traffic to be permitted and does not require any routed traffic to be subject to filter logging, you can change the IP security filters configured in your TCP/IP profile so that QDIO Accelerator is enabled for routed traffic. To do this, modify the IPSEC statement in your TCP/IP profile:

  1. Ensure that the first IPv4 IPSECRULE statement with a ROUTING specification of ROUTED or EITHER permits all IPv4 addresses, all protocols, and all security classes.
    Tip: If your rule has a ROUTING specification of EITHER, it applies to both local and routed traffic. If your security policy does not allow you to permit all local traffic, split this rule into two rules, one with a ROUTING specification of ROUTED and one with a ROUTING specification of LOCAL.
  2. Ensure that this IPSECRULE statement does not specify LOG to enable filter logging.

For more information, see QDIO Accelerator and IP security in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide.
