EZZ0687I FORMAT SHORT IGNORED - IPV6 SUPPORT IS ENABLED

Question & Answer


Question

On TCPIP startup we are seeing this error message:

 EZZ0687I FORMAT SHORT IGNORED - IPV6 SUPPORT IS ENABLED

What does this mean and how do we eliminate this message?

Answer

The FORMAT keyword of the IPCONFIG statement is meaningful only for stacks that are not enabled for IPv6. It controls the format of the command output.

If FORMAT SHORT is specified and the stack is enabled for IPv6, then the following error message is displayed:

 EZZ0687I FORMAT SHORT IGNORED - IPV6 SUPPORT IS ENABLED

If the stack is enabled for IPv6, then specifying the FORMAT keyword does not make any difference to the command format
