Default
The default for this parameter is *.
Considerations
• Use this parameter to pass the value for the DEFINE =TCPIP^HOST^FILE to SSH2 servers configured as
generic processes. This can also be achieved by adding the define =TCPIP^HOST^FILE for the generic process
(possible since G06.28/H06.06).
• In case the define =TCPIP^HOST^FILE causes unwanted behaviour, it is possible to disable the propagation of
defines completely, see parameter PROPAGATEDEFINES
• An entry TCPIPHOSTFILE $system.ztcpip.empty has been added to the SSH2 configuration file for the
maintenance LAN (file SSHmCFG starting with H06.25/J06.14 to bypass DNS lookup. This solves a problem
of a 40 seconds delay when executing an SSH command against a CLIM (e.g. using CLIMCMD) due to
unresolved DNS lookups. Although this is a problem with the DNS configuration, the above workaround has
been put into place to prevent these delays. Name resolution delays are now detected during SSH2 startup and a
warning message will be issued.

TCPIPNODEFILE
Use this parameter as an alternative to setting a DEFINE =TCPIP^NODE^FILE.
Parameter Syntax
TCPIPNODEFILE filename
Arguments
filename
Specifies the name of the TCPIP node file to be used by SSH2. The filename will override the value of the
DEFINE =TCPIP^NODE^FILE, which may have been passed to SSH2 at startup.
*
Means no node file will be set. However, any DEFINE =TCPIP^NODE^FILE passed to SSH2 at startup will
remain in effect.

The default for this parameter is *.
