Configuring an AS/400 TCP/IP Interface with ADDTCPIFC
53
The following parameters must be specified:
Internet Address
Internet address of the AS/400 Ethernet LAN adapter.
NOTE: Do not use the IP address of the NIC.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask for this AS/400 TCP/IP interface (for example,
255.255.255.0).
Line Description
The name assigned to the AS/400 line description as described in
“Developing Line Descriptions with CRTLINETH” on page 35. Each AS/
400 LAN adapter will have its own line description.
Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry
Although optional, IBM recommends you create a TCP/IP host table
entry. Add the AS/400 name and the IP address of the LAN adapter to the
“Host Table Entries”. Also, add the hostname and IP address of the
printer to the list. You can access the host table entries function by using
the CFGTCP command, then selecting option 10 from the menu.
You can also add entries to your host table for both the hostname and the
fully qualified network name for your system. The entry should match
what you configured for host and domain name. For example, if your
hostname is “RCHASM03” and your domain name is
“RCHLAND.IBM.COM”, your fully qualified network name is
“RCHASM03.RCHLAND.IBM.COM”. In your host entry table, enter both
RCHASM03 and RCHASM03.RCHLAND.IBM.COM.
