6.4.1 When JP1-specific hosts information is required
There is no dedicated hosts information (jp1hosts or jp1hosts2 information) in the system at installation of JP1/Base. This information should be set on a host-by-host basis as needed. Set jp1hosts or jp1hosts2 information when:
-
Using a host connected to multiple networks in a cluster system
-
JP1/Base cannot establish a connection with the IP address used to communicate with the destination host
-
You want to communicate using an IPv6 address
To communicate using IPv6 addresses, set jp1hosts2 information for the host in question. jp1hosts information does not support communication using IPv6 addresses.
For details about which JP1/Base features are compatible with jp1hosts and jp1hosts2 information, see H.9 Functionality supported in communication settings.
