Gateways and Devices workspace

The Gateways and Devices workspace displays status and information that identify gateways and devices for a TCP/IP address space. Use this workspace to monitor network devices that drop out of Ready status and to monitor the link or route status of gateways.

This workspace is displayed by clicking on the Gateways and Devices Navigator item.

Notes:
  1. If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.9 or earlier, the values for this attribute group are retrieved using SNMP.
  2. If the agent address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.10 or v.1.11, the route information in this workspace is retrieved using the I/O control (IOCTL). Link or Interface attributes associated with the Gateway are retrieved using SNMP.
  3. If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.12 or later, the values for this attribute group are retrieved using the I/O control (IOCTL) interface. Link or Interface attributes associated with the Gateway are retrieved using the z/OS Communications Server callable network management interfaces (NMIs).
  4. If you are viewing this workspace on an LPAR running z/OS 1.9 or earlier, the following attributes display as blank:
  5. If you are viewing this workspace on an LPAR running z/OS 1.9, the MTU Value attribute displays a value of zero (0).
  6. DVIPA reporting differs based on the level of z/OS running in the address space being monitored.

The TCP/IP Gateways and Devices workspace displays data in two table views, the TCPIP Devices Summary table and the TCPIP Gateways Summary table.

TCPIP Devices Summary table

The TCPIP Devices Summary table contains a row for each device defined to the TCP/IP address space. Each row (or device) provides the following types of information:

For a complete list of the attributes available in the TCPIP Devices Summary table, and a brief description of each, see the TCPIP Devices Attributes help panel.

TCPIP Gateways Summary table

For monitored gateways, the TCPIP Gateways Summary table contains a row for each gateway defined for the TCP/IP address space. Each row (or gateway) provides the following types of information:

For a complete list of the attributes available in the TCPIP Gateways Summary table, and a brief description of each, see the TCPIP Gateways Attributes help panel.
