IBM AS/400e Computer Hardware User Manual


 
Creating a Point-to-Point Profile for LAN Transparent Subnetting
Access Point-to-Point functions through Operations Navigator.
From the General page, perform the following tasks:
v Specify a profile name (REMOTE_ABC for this example).
v Specify a description for the connection profile (Answer profile For Remote Box
A, B, or C in this example).
v Select PPP as the Type.
v Select Switched line-answer as the Mode.
From the TCP/IP Settings page, perform the following tasks:
v Specify your Local IP address. Since this example is
Unnumbered Net
,an
existing token-ring interface, 10.5.0.1, is selected from the Local IP address
pull-down box.
v Specify your Remote IP address. In this example, Route specified is selected.
Remote IP addresses will be defined from the entries that are defined in the
Routing dialog.
Note: Route specified is valid only for switched line-answer profiles.
v Check Allow IP forwarding. IP packets that originate from the remote LAN are
allowed to flow through AS/400 to the Corporate Network or other remote
LANs.
Click Routing to add entries to the Route specified IP addresses. From the
Routing page, perform the following tasks:
v For Dynamic routing, select None. Routing will be carried out through static
routing.
v For Static routing, select Use static routes:
Caller REMOTE_A receives IP address 10.5.1.1. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
allows AS/400 to add a direct route to the 10.5.1.0 network.
Caller REMOTE_B receives IP address 10.5.2.1. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
allows AS/400 to add a direct route to the 10.5.2.0 network.
Caller REMOTE_C receives IP address 10.5.3.1. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
allows AS/400 to add a direct route to the 10.5.3.0 network.
Note: You can add more routes if additional LANs are attached to AS/400
through subnetting.
Figure 78 on page 107 shows the Routing dialog.
