RMVIPSIFC Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Remove IP over SNA Interface (RMVIPSIFC) command removes an AF_INET sockets over SNA interface (an IP address by which this local host is known on the SNA transport). This command can be used to remove interfaces that have been specified with the Add IP over SNA Interface (ADDIPSIFC) CL command.

 

Restrictions

1. The user must have *IOSYSCFG authority to use this command.
2. The interface cannot be active when you submit this command. Use the End IP over SNA Interface (ENDIPSIFC) CL command to deactivate the interface.
3. There can be no configured routes whose NEXTHOP internet address can be reached only through the network associated with the IP over SNA interface to be removed.

An internet address is not valid if it has a value of all binary ones or all binary zeros for the network identifier (ID) portion or the host ID portion of the address. If the internet address is entered from a command line, the address must be enclosed in apostrophes.
