Question & Answer


Question

Does z/OS Communications Server V2R3 remove support for any TCP/IP device types?

Answer

Yes, z/OS Communications Server V2R3 removes support for the following TCP/IP device types:

  • FDDI and Token Ring (LCS with LINKs FDDI and IBMTR)

  • Token Ring (MPCIPA with LINK IPAQTR)

  • Ethernet and FDDI (MPCOSA with LINKs OSAENET and OSAFDDI)

Customers who are either running z/OS Communications Server V2R3 or planning to migrate to z/OS Communications Server V2R3 in the near future must migrate from these device types to a later interface type, such as OSA-Express QDIO or HiperSockets™.
