Starting TCP/IP Interfaces
TCP/IP interfaces are started in one of the following ways:
v The Work with TCP/IP Interface Status displays are reached by:
– Option 1 on the Configure TCP/IP (CFGTCP) menu
– Option 1 on the Network Status (NETSTAT or WRKTCPSTS) menu
v The Start TCP/IP Interface (STRTCPIFC) command
v Using the Operations Navigator interface
Note: You can start TCP/IP interfaces through the Operations Navigator
interface wizard. However, this chapter does not document any of the
Operations Navigator functions. See the online help in Operations
Navigator for this information.
To start a TCP/IP interface from the Work with TCP/IP Interface Status menu, type
9 in the option field for each interface that you want to start and press the Enter
key.
To start a TCP/IP interface using the STRTCPIFC command, take these steps:
1. Type STRTCPIFC on the command line and press F4 (Prompt).
2. Type the Internet address of the interface that you want to start and press the
Enter key.
Option 9 on the Work with TCP/IP Interface Status display is used to start both
TCP/IP interfaces and Internet Protocol (IP) over Systems Network Architecture
(SNA) interfaces. For information about starting IP over SNA interfaces, see the
STRIPSIFC (Start IP over SNA Interface) command in the
CL Reference (Abridged)
,
SC41-5722.
Note: When starting the first TCP/IP interface associated with an Integrated
Netfinity Server for AS/400 (also known as File Server Input/Output
Processor and FSIOP) network server description, a considerable amount of
time may pass before the interface becomes active. This is because TCP/IP
activation includes starting the network server. The amount of time that is
required depends mainly on machine use and the size of the processor. To
determine whether the interface has started, view the messages in the
QTCPIP job log and the QSYSOPR message queue.
