How to PING through a secondary TCPIP stack?

[Brian Nielsen]

I have brought up a second TCPIP stack (in userid TCPIPDR) to test a
routing setup for DR. NETSTAT has the TCP option to send the command to
the TCPIP stack of my choice, but I don't see a similar option for PING or
TRACERTE. The test network is isolated from the production network. How
do I send the PING to my test network via the second TCPIP stack?

It takes the TCPIPUSERID option from your TCPIP DATA file.

Create a copy of TCPIP DATA on your a-disk and change the TCPIP virtual
machine userid listed in the TCPIPUSERID statement to your other stack.
Remember to erase it when you're done.

If you want to make this known permanently you can use a combination of
SYSTEM NETID, TCPIP DATA, and SET CPUID commands.
TCPIP DATA:
TCPIP: TCPIPUSERID TCPIP
TCPIP1: TCPIPUSERID TCPIP1
TCPIP2: TCPIPUSERID TCPIP2
TCPIP3: TCPIPUSERID TCPIP3

SYSTEM NETID:
:
222222 TCPIP TCPIP
111111 TCPIP1 TCPIP1
:

From TCPMAINT:
q cpuid
CPUID = FF22222220948000
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 11:46:03
netstat home
VM TCP/IP Netstat Level 520

IPv4 Home address entries:

Address Subnet Mask Link
------- ----------- ------
172.27.96.174 255.255.255.0 OSASERV


IPv6 Home address entries: None

ping 172.27.96.174
Ping level 520: Pinging host 172.27.96.174.
Enter 'HX' followed by 'BEGIN' to interrupt.
PING: Ping #1 response took 0.029 seconds. Successes so far 1.

netstat home tcp tcpip1
VM TCP/IP Netstat Level 520

IPv4 Home address entries:

Address Subnet Mask Link
------- ----------- ------
192.168.150.1 255.255.255.0 HIPER

IPv6 Home address entries: None

set cpuid 111111

ping 192.168.150.1
Ping Level 520: Pinging host 192.168.150.1.
Enter 'HX' followed by 'BEGIN' to interrupt.
PING: Ping #1 response took 0.060 seconds. Successes so far 1.

Greetings,
Take a look at post / item # 45252 or do a search on SETID
It contains a nice Rexx exec for working with multiple stacks.

Thanks to all who replied.
