Chapter 15. RouteD Server
The Route Daemon, or RouteD, provides support for the Routing Information
Protocol, or RIP, on an AS/400 system. RIP is the most widely used routing protocol
today. It is an Interior Gateway Protocol, or IGP, that assists TCP/IP in the routing of
IP data packets within an autonomous domain. Dynamic routing protocols allow you
to handle networks with multiple routers or automatic switching to redundant routes.
RIP Version 2 is available for Version 4 Release 2 and above. If you have migrated
from a previous release, the system automatically migrates your routing
configuration files as part of the Version 4 Release 2 installation process. For more
information, see “Working with RouteD Configuration” on page 393 and
“RIP_INTERFACE Statement” on page 394.
Accessing RouteD Functions through Operations Navigator
You can access RouteD server functions from a command line interface or from
Operations Navigator. Not all of the RouteD functions are available on both
interfaces. However, most RouteD functions are available
only
through Operations
Navigator.
This chapter discusses how to start, stop, and configure the RouteD server from the
command line interface. It does not document any of the Operations Navigator
functions. See the online Help in Operations Navigator for information about using
Operations Navigator for RouteD functions.
To access RouteD server functions through Operations Navigator, perform the
following steps:
1. Double-click your AS/400 server in the main tree view of Operations Navigator.
2. Double-click Network.
3. Double-click Servers.
4. Double-click TCP/IP.
5. Double-click RouteD.
Note: Although some of the functionality of the command line interface and the
Operations Navigator is the same, the actual menu commands and
parameters are not necessarily the same.
The online help in Operations Navigator assists you with the following:
v Starting the RouteD server.
v Automatically starting the RouteD server whenever TCP/IP is started.
v Ending the RouteD server.
v Configuring the RouteD server.
Starting the RouteD Server
To start the RouteD server, specify the following
Start TCP/IP Server
(STRTCPSVR)
command with the SERVER parameter set to *ROUTED:
STRTCPSVR SERVER(*ROUTED)
