The Remove IP over SNA Location Entry (RMVIPSLOC) command removes an AF_INET sockets over SNA location entry. This command can be used to remove location entries that have been specified with the Add IP over SNA Location Entry (ADDIPSLOC) CL command. The location entry to be removed is identified by its remote route destination (RMTDEST) and subnet mask (SUBNETMASK).

Restriction: The user must have *IOSYSCFG authority to use this command.

Parameters

Keyword	Description	Choices	Notes
RMTDEST	Remote destination	Character value	Required, Positional 1
SUBNETMASK	Subnet mask	Character value, *HOST	Required, Positional 2

Remote destination (RMTDEST)

Specifies the remote route destination of the location entry to be removed. The remote route destination is specified in the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn is a decimal number ranging from 0 through 255. If the remote route destination address is entered from a command line, the address must be enclosed in apostrophes.

This is a required parameter.

Subnet mask (SUBNETMASK)

Specifies the subnet mask of the location entry being removed.

This is a required parameter.

The possible values are:

*HOST

Specify this value when the internet address value specified in the remote route destination field is a host address. The subnet mask value is calculated to be 255.255.255.255.

subnetwork-mask

Specify the subnet mask in the forms nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn is a decimal number ranging from 0 through 255. If the subnet mask address is entered from a command line, the address must be enclosed in apostrophes.

Examples

Example 1: Removing a Location Entry for a Subnetwork

RMVIPSLOC   RMTDEST('128.2.0.0')  SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.128')

This command removes a location entry for a subnetwork with network 128.2 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.128.

Example 2: Removing a Location Entry for a Network

RMVIPSLOC   RMTDEST(128.3.0.0)  SUBNETMASK('255.255.0.0')

This command removes a location entry for network 128.3.
