If you want AS/400 to do this, set the Proxy ARP parameter (“Allow Proxy ARP” on
page 143 ) to Y.
Notes:
1. Only interface types that support ARP can be used with Proxy ARP. Interface
types that support ARP include token-ring, Ethernet, and FDDI. Point-to-point
interface types such as X.25 and *SLIP do not support ARP.
2. Proxy ARP does not mean
proxy gateway
. PCs connected directly to the LAN
cannot use AS/400 system as a gateway for Internet access through SLIP.
Be sure that the local interface is active before you start the configuration profile.
The start fails if the local interface is not active when you start the point-to-point
TCP/IP profile. To determine if the interface is active, type the following:
NETSTAT *IFC
Add Default Route:
6 Select Y to add a default route to the system. AS/400 adds the route when
the SLIP session is started. The local interface address specified in this
configuration profile is the next hop for the default route that is added.
Note: Only one default route can be active at a time. If you run the Start
Point-to-Point TCP/IP (STRTCPPTP) command for a configuration
profile that specifies Y to add a default route, and a default route is
already active, the session cannot start.
Use this option for *ANS profiles if you want to do the following:
v Connect two networks together and use a SLIP connection to do so
v Use an automatic default route to the other network
Otherwise, do not automatically add routes for your *ANS profiles.
Line Description:
7 Type the name of the line description to be used for this connection.
See “Step 1 - Configure an Asynchronous Line Description” on page 129 for
information about how to create or find the line description.
Autocreate Controller and Device:
8 Specify the default value of Y to have AS/400 automatically create the
controller and device descriptions for the line description specified in
7
(
“Line Description”). If you specify N, you must specify a remote location
name. See “Remote Location Name” on page 145.
Notes:
1. The setting for this parameter does not affect and is not affected by any
of the autoconfiguration system values (QAUTOCFG, QAUTORMT and
QAUTOVRT).
2. AS/400 creates controller and device descriptions only if they do not
already exist.
If Start Point-to-Point TCP/IP (STRTCPPTP) is issued with
AUTODLTCFG(*YES), then the controller and device description are
deleted when the point-to-point connection ends. The next time you
start a point-to-point connection using this profile the controller and
device descriptions are created again.
