I may not answer your question, but I can show you what we have with three OSA-2 cards:
HOME xxx.yyy.225.131 VIPA1 xxx.yyy.225.2 OSA4 xxx.yyy.225.3 OSA5 xxx.yyy.225.4 OSA6 BEGINRoutes ROUTE xxx.yyy.225.0 255.255.255.0 = OSA4 MTU 1500 ROUTE xxx.yyy.225.0 255.255.255.0 = OSA5 MTU 1500 ROUTE xxx.yyy.225.0 255.255.255.0 = OSA6 MTU 1500 ROUTE DEFAULT xxx.yyy.225.1 OSA4 MTU 1500 ROUTE DEFAULT xxx.yyy.225.1 OSA5 MTU 1500 ROUTE DEFAULT xxx.yyy.225.1 OSA6 MTU 1500 ENDRoutes I also specify SourceVIPA. Don't know if that helps, Craig -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Itschak Mugzach Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 2:02 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: TCP/IP anomality Good Morning, Our MF is equipped with two OSA cards. The following devices are defined: Vipa, card1 and card2. The Beginroutes statement defines some static routes, all of them, except one, uses card2. The default route is also pointing to card2. There is one route statement that defines a static route to card1. MVS is 1.4. The abnormality is that if card2 is defined under the vipa, it is not accessed and traceroute shows that tcp/ip does know the route to the device (tries 1*, 2* etc). If this card is removed from the VIPA, placed before, TCPIP access the device. We started to implement VIPA and we have a mixed environment where some connections use the VIPA address and some uses card2 address. We plan to fully implement VIPA, but until then want to solve that behavior. I hope I explained myself... Any idea what happens, and why? Thanks for your help.
