Configuring an AS/400 TCP/IP Interface with
ADDTCPIFC
NOTE: Do not enter the IP address of the NIC. Do not set the AS/400
interface address to the same address as the NIC IP address.
Also, do not add the NIC to the AS/400 TCP/IP interface list.
Configuring an Interface for Ethernet
ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to AS/400. This step
configures the AS/400 for attachments to a TCP/IP network.
At the AS/400 command line, enter the following command:
ADDTCPIFC INTNETADR (’9.99.15.188’) LIND(ETHLAN)
SUBNETMASK(’255.255.255.0’)
Your completed screen should look like Figure 7.
