There used to be an IBM firewall product for the iseries. Dropped a few releases back. Current strategy is: 1-External appliance (such as a cisco firewall) 2-Linux partition 3-Integrated xseries server Rob Berendt -- Group Dekko Services, LLC Dept 01.073 PO Box 2000 Dock 108 6928N 400E Kendallville, IN 46755 http://www.dekko.com "York, Albert" <albert.york@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx 05/12/2004 04:34 PM Please respond to Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To "'Midrange Systems Technical Discussion'" <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> cc Subject RE: Turn off PING server on AS/400 Thanks Scott. I have an AS/400 that I want to put on the Internet for a specific purpose. I only want to have one port open, which I will handle with a socket server program. I will turn all other TCP/IP servers off, including telnet. Are you taking about an external firewall, such as router? I wasn't planning on using a router but I could if I have to. Or is there a firewall on the AS/400 I can use?

Ping is a little bit different from other TCP/IP applications, in that there's no "ping server." Ping is implemented at a lower-level, it's part of the TCP/IP stack itself. The best way to disable it is by blocking ICMP echo packets with a firewall. Can I ask why you want to disable it? _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l. _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
