The other thing is that HiperSockets Linux interfaces default to L3, so they can potentially connect to z/OS. So even if no z/OS is around, people may use L3 HiperSockets just because it is the default.
@Asha, do you have a need to use L3 in your scenario? Will you ever connect to z/OS? > > And I totally agree to use interfaces in L2 mode whereever possible, > especially when it comes to DHCP.

Note that OSA L3 interfaces do have the same issue with DHCP. But there is no reason to use OSA L3 interfaces at all and they default to L2. So hopefully nobody cares about that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914740 Title: IPs are not assigned for Hipersockets in DHCP mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1914740/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
