Specifies the IP address at the local TCP/IP stack. The static VIPA specified here will be the address which other Enterprise Extender nodes will use in order to communicate with this host using the Enterprise Extender connection.
Specifying the IPADDR or HOSTNAME operand on the Enterprise Extender GROUP definition statement is necessary when your Enterprise Extender configuration requires the use of multiple static VIPAs. The IPADDR may also be defined as a VTAM® start option. If the IPADDR operand is not specified on the Enterprise Extender GROUP definition statement, it will default to the value of the IPADDR start option, unless HOSTNAME is coded explicitly on the GROUP statement. When the HOSTNAME operand is coded, there is no sift-down effect from the IPADDR start option.
The address must be specified in dotted decimal format for an IPv4 address (for example, IPADDR=4.6.41.7) or in colon-hexadecimal format for an IPv6 address (for example, IPADDR=2000::67:1:2).
- If IPADDR or HOSTNAME is specified on any GROUP definition statement within the Enterprise Extender (XCA) definition, then one of those two operands must be specified on all Enterprise Extender GROUP definition statements (or defaulted from the VTAM start options).
- The TCPNAME start option is required in a CINET environment if
any of the following conditions exist:
- The IPADDR parameter is specified on any of the Enterprise Extender XCA major node GROUP definition statements.
- The HOSTNAME parameter is specified on any of the Enterprise Extender XCA major node GROUP definition statements.
- The HOSTNAME keyword is specified as a VTAM start option.
If OMVS is not initialized at Enterprise Extender line activation, a Common INET environment is assumed.
