RE: Configuring 2 Ethernet cards for TCP/IP

[Tsopelas Anastasios <ATsopelas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes you can .
you have to define just your ethernet card just like this:
a. find the resource names for your ethernet card with wrkhdwrsc *cmn
b. decide not to use *adpt for local adapter address.Use something like the
one below
 
CRTLINETH LIND(ethlin) RSRCNAME(CMNxx) ONLINE(*YES) +              
         VRYWAIT(*NOWAIT) MAXCTL(40) ADPTADR(020010001000) +        
         EXCHID(*sysgen) ETHSTD(*ALL) LINESPEED(100M) +            
         DUPLEX(*HALF) +                                            
         SSAP(*sysgen) THRESHOLD(*OFF) GENTSTFRM(*YES) +              
         LINKSPEED(100M) AUTOCRTCTL(*yes) CMNRCYLMT(10 5) +
         TEXT('Ethernet line')                          
 
then execute the command cfgtcp
 
from the menu select option one (1)
add tcp/ip interface(addtcpifc).Here you must have your IP options handy
an example follows:
 
 Internet address . . . . . . . . >
10.100.101.10                              
 Line description . . . . . . . .   ethlin        Name, *LOOPBACK,
*VIRTUALIP
 Subnet mask  . . . . . . . . . .   255.255.255.0                           

 Associated local interface . . .   *NONE                                   

 Type of service  . . . . . . . .   *NORMAL       *MINDELAY, *MAXTHRPUT...  

 Maximum transmission unit  . . .   *LIND         576-16388, *LIND          

 Autostart  . . . . . . . . . . .   *YES          *YES, *NO                 

 PVC logical channel identifier                   001-FFF                   

                + for more values                                           

 X.25 idle circuit timeout  . . .   60            1-600                     

 X.25 maximum virtual circuits  .   64            0-64                      

 X.25 DDN interface . . . . . . .   *NO           *YES, *NO                 

 TRLAN bit sequencing . . . . . .   *MSB          *MSB, *LSB                

 
take care that the parameters for the address, subnet mask must be
consistent with your network design.
 
repeate the above steps for your second card thus changing the value ADPTADR
off crtlineth and Internet address off addtcpifc.
 
a default route must be defined with option 2 of the menu if you are in
a     wan .
 
if you have an external DNS server you must define your interfaces there and
also define the DNS to your system with option 12.
 
a good practice is to define also the interfaces in your local host table
with option 10 from the menu.
 
Then of course you must start the interfaces.
 
Hope i helped a bit.

Subject: Configuring 2 Ethernet cards for TCP/IP


Hi guys,
 
Is it possible to run TCP/IP for 2 ethernet cards, with different IP
address, on an AS/400 box.  If yes, how do you configure the resources e.g.
LINE, CONTROLLER, DEVICE and the INTERFACE.  Do I need to end all TCP/IP
services to bring up the second ethernet card if the first is already
running.
 
 
Thanks,
 
Oludare
