8: ZTCI-EVT-BCAST-ENET-ADDR
ZCOM-TKN-SUBJ-PROC
contains the name of the TCP/IP subsystem that is the subject of this event
message.
ZEMS-TKN-EMPHASIS
is a header token that contains the value ZSPI-VAL-TRUE, indicating that this is a
critical event.
(ZEMS-TKN-) CONSOLE-PRINT, CPU, CRTPID, GENTIME, LOGTIME, PIN,
SYSTEM, and USERID
are automatically placed in the header when the EMSINIT procedure is called and
the event message buffer is initialized. For a description of these tokens, see
Section 5, Common Definitions. For details on any of the EMS tokens, see the
EMS Manual.
ZTCI-TKN-SEV
contains the value ZTCI-VAL-SEV-WARN. This value indicates that
ZTCI-EVT-BCAST-ENET-ADDR is only a warning message. The process
continues to function, but some functionality has been lost; for example, the
network may be going down, or a device accessed by the TCP/IP subsystem may
be experiencing errors.
ZTCI-TKN-IP-ADDR
contains the IP address of the machine using the broadcast address as its Ethernet
address.
Event-Message Text
In the text message, ip-addr corresponds to the value in ZTCI-TKN-IP-ADDR.
Cause. A machine on the Ethernet LAN is using a broadcast address as its Ethernet
address. This can cause performance deterioration, flooding of the Ethernet LAN, and
machine crashes.
Recovery. The operator should determine which machine is using the broadcast
address as its Ethernet address and fix the machine. Note that you cannot reassign an
Ethernet address.
