Reserving IP addresses

You can reserve a specific IP address by adding it to the Occupied IP Addresses list in the Connection Properties window. This prevents others from using that particular IP address.

Complete the following steps to add an IP address to the list of occupied IP addresses:
  1. If it is not started already, start the Server Complexes task for the z/VM system you want to work with.
  2. Click Actionz/VM Networking Properties.
  3. In the z/VM Networking Properties window, select the LAN, OSA, or VSWITCH tab.
  4. Select the connection whose properties you want to edit.
  5. Click EditEdit Properties to open the Connection Properties window.
  6. Click Add to open the Occupied IP Address Properties window.
  7. In the Occupied IP Address field, type the occupied IP address. This field is mandatory and its value must be within the IP address range for that connection (as defined in the Connections Properties window).
  8. (Optional) In the Guest field, type the name of the Linux guest system that owns the occupied IP address.
  9. (Optional) In the Interface field, type the network interface name of the above Linux guest system.
  10. Click OK to accept changes and close the Occupied IP Address Properties window.
  11. Click OK to accept changes and close the Connection Properties window.
  12. Click ActionSave in the z/VM Networking Properties window.
註: You can also use the Edit and Remove buttons in the Connection Properties window to update or remove an occupied IP address.
