Re: AS/400 on two IP schemes

You have 2 thing to trake care of here.

1: giving access only to the AS/400 from the WAN.
2: restrict the access to certain libraries on the AS/400

problem 2 is the simplest to explain: uses resource security, I mean
only grant the require autority to the outside users (I supposed that
they use a separate user ID)

I will try to explain how I would solve problem 1:
-Suppose the IP range of your lan is : 192.168.1.0 (255.255.255.0)
-Suppose your router address is something like: 10.10.100.1
(255.255.255.0)
-The you wold give your AS/400 2 IP address like: 192.168.1.1 and
10.10.100.2
-You would set the default route on your AS/400 as 10.10.100.1
-You would also make sure that the default route on your other devices
is not the router address

This way, only the AS/400 has access to the WAN and vice versa

Hello IP wizards and  security gurus;

I looked over the archives, but did not see what I was looking for -
We have our AS/400, and all related devices set-up to a certain
IP scheme, we have been sold, and corporate wants now to place
our AS/400 on their WAN, my issue is I do not want them to see
anything else, and even on the AS/400 I only want to give that
nic card access to one library, and absolutely nothing else.

Can anyone assist me where to look as to how to set-up
something like this (which books do I need to read)

And can I lock it down this tight?

TIA
