Step 4—Configuring TCP/IP attributes
To configure the TCP/IP attributes, type option 3 on the Configure TCP/IP menu.
The Change TCP/IP Attributes (CHGTCPA) display is shown (Figure 16).
For information about the various parameters for this command, see the online
help. In this step only the IP Datagram Forwarding (IPDTGFWD) parameter is
discussed.
IP Datagram Forwarding
Specifies whether your system should forward datagrams destined for other
networks. The default value is *NO.
Step 5—Configuring TCP/IP Remote System Information (X.25)
Note: If you are not using use X.25, then proceed to “Step 6—Configuring TCP/IP
Host Table Entries” on page 38.
If you use an X.25 connection to reach TCP/IP hosts with a public or private packet
switched data network (PSDN), you need to add remote system information for
each remote TCP/IP host. You must define the X.25 network address of each
system if you use a switched virtual circuit (SVC). If a permanent virtual circuit
(PVC) is set up by the network connecting your system with your remote TCP/IP
partner, you need to know the local logical channel identifier of this PVC.
Adding Remote System Information (X.25)
To add an X.25 remote system address, type option 5 on the Configure
TCP/IP menu. The Work with the TCP/IP Remote System Information
display appears, as shown in Figure 17 on page 37.
