Interface Status workspace
The Interfaces Status workspace displays status information for
all interfaces defined to a z/OS v1.12 or later system.
This workspace can be displayed by right-clicking on Interfaces
Navigator item and selecting Interface Status from
the list of available workspaces.
Notes:
- This workspace returns data only on systems running on z/OS v1.12
or later.
- This workspace displays information about strategic interfaces,
defined as Loopback, OSA-Express Queued Direct I/O (QDIO) Ethernet,
static DVIPA, HiperSockets, and Multipath Channel Point-To-Point (MPCPTP).
For non-strategic interfaces (any of the 244 enumerated types
defined in RFC 2863), only the following attributes return data:
- Device and Datapath Status
- Interface Associated Name
- Interface Index
- Interface Name
- Interface Status
- Interface Type
- Last Status Change timestamp
- If all of the TCP/IP stacks you are monitoring are running on
z/OS v1.12, consider making this workspace your default workspace
from the Interfaces Navigator item. Refer to the section "Upgrade
issues related to z/OS v1.12" in the upgrade chapter of the IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks: Planning
and Configuration Guide for information about how to make the
Interface Status workspace and its associated workspaces the default
from the Navigation tree.
All other attributes return an integer value of zero (0), which
may be displayed in the workspace as No.
The Interface Status workspace provides the following views:
- Interface Status: Displays the count for
each enumerated Interface Status type. The y-axis is an integer count.
The x-axis consists of a bar for each interface status type, each
bar denoting the number of interfaces has this status type. You see
three enumerated Interface Status types: Active, Not Active, and DAD_Pending.
This information is presented in a bar chart where:
- Yellow represents the Interface Status.
- Device or Datapath Status: Displays the
count for each enumerated Device or Datapath Status type. The y-axis
is an integer count. The x-axis consists of a bar for each device
or datapath status type, each bar denoting the number of devices or
datapaths which have this status type. You see the following enumerated
Device or Datapath Status types: starting, sent_setup, enabling, connecting,
connecting2, negotiating, active, deactivating, and not_active. This
information is presented in a bar chart where:
- Yellow represents the Device or Datapath
Status type.
- interface_name Interface Address Summary
table:
Displays addressing information about a single interface.
- Interface Status Summary table:
Contains one row for each interface defined to the selected TCP/IP
stack. The Interface Status attributes display configuration and status
information for each interface. Right-click on a link icon
in the Interface Status Summary table to access the following workspaces:

The interface_name Interface Address Summary
table displays addressing information about a single interface.
