Creating a Point-to-Point Profile for LAN Access with Dynamic
Routing (RIP)
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 Select PPP as the Type.
v Select Switched line-dial 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 are defined from the entries that are defined in the
Routing dialog that appears when you click Routing.
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 accomplished through static
routing. RIP is used within the Corporate Network but not on remote links.
v For Static routing, select Use static routes:
Caller REMOTE_A receives IP address 192.168.4.1. A subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 allows AS/400 to add a direct route to the 192.168.4.0 network.
