161
b. Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask for this AS/400 TCP/IP interface (for
example, 255.255.255.0).
c. Line Description
The name assigned to the AS/400 line description as
described in “Developing Line Descriptions With
CRTLINETH” on page 143. Each AS/400 LAN adapter will
have its own line description.
Configuring A TCP/IP Host Table Entry
Although optional, it is recommended that 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
name should match the name you configured for host and domain.
For example, if your hostname is “RCHASM03” and your domain
name is “RCHLAND.PTX.COM”, your fully qualified network name
is “RCHASM03.RCHLAND.PTX.COM”. In your host entry table,
enter both RCHASM03 and RCHASM03.RCHLAND.PTX.COM.
