Re: tcp_address 192.168.x.y in q nodes f=d output

I have 8 nodes in my TSM for which q nodes f=d shows a TCP/IP address of the
form 192.168.x.y. This is not the correct address for these nodes. When
these nodes do a backup, actlog shows the correct address.
Yes, this is not the biggest problem in the world. Nevertheless, I would be
interested in learnig what the reason is. Does anyone know?
Gerhard - From my notes:
192.168.x.x Designation of a range of IP networking
addresses which are for private use in
setting up your own private network, and
which are not routable over the
internet. Often used behind a firewall.
Ref: RFC 1918
The users involved probably set up a Network Address Translation router/switch
to expand their single IPv4 address into a private subnet. This can be
problematic for TSM work. You may want to have a talk with them to see what
they are doing - they may no longer be viable candidates as TSM clients.
