Re: Multiple IP's on an AS/400

Yes, it is very possible.  Remember, even in a "standard" setting, where
you only have one IP, you set up 2. One for your IP address, and one for
127.0.0.1 which is localhost.

I have 4 set up on mine right now.  One for local host, one for our private
IP address (192.168.1.x), one for the private ip address for the company
we merged with (172.22.28.x), and one for the public internet.

You just have to be aware of what this does to your routes.

If you have 2 usable IP addresses (not counting 127.0.0.1) and you have
a default route (*DFTROUTE) set up in your TCP/IP routes, both will
try to find the IPs on the same route.  If you are not concerned with routes,
then there is no need to worry about it.

You can have more than one route, though.  I have 5 routes, 4 of them are
for specific IP addresses for the internet allowed to communicate with my
AS/400, the other is the #DFTROUTE set up for the merged companies
router.  For our local IP address (192.168.1.x) we don't need to route it
since it is on the same wire.

Everythign works fine.  All on one card.
