Abstract for IP Configuration Guide

Purpose of this information: This document contains guidance material to enable you to configure IP address spaces, servers, and applications for z/OS® Communications Server. This volume is part of a two-volume set:

The information in this document supports both IPv6 and IPv4. Unless explicitly noted, information describes IPv4 networking protocol. IPv6 support is qualified within the text.

For detailed information about configuration-related data sets and statements, see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.

For detailed information about commands used during configuration, see z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's Commands.

This document refers to Communications Server data sets by their default SMP/E distribution library name. Your installation might, however, have different names for these data sets where allowed by SMP/E, your installation personnel, or administration staff. For instance, this document refers to samples in SEZAINST library as simply in SEZAINST. Your installation might choose a data set name of SYS1.SEZAINST, CS390.SEZAINST, or other high level qualifiers for the data set name.

Who should read this information: This document is intended for programmers and system administrators who are familiar with TCP/IP, MVS™, z/OS UNIX, and the Time Sharing Option Extensions (TSO/E).
