IBM AS/400e Computer Hardware User Manual


 
About TCP/IP Configuration and Reference (SC41-5420)
This book contains information about configuring and using Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and writing programs to the TCP/IP application
interface. Some topics have moved to the Information Center. See “TCP/IP Topics
in the Information Center”.
TCP/IP Packaging:
When you purchase OS/400, the ordering system automatically places an order for
the TCP/IP Utilities Licensed Program (LP). The TCP/IP Utilities LP is shipped with
OS/400 at
no additional
charge. However, you must install the TCP/IP Utilities LP
separately by using normal installation support.
