I like Op's Nav for some of these functions. But speaking as a guy who had
a team of IBMers dialed in to his AS/400 last night working on a Domino
email issue I wonder how fun it is to support remotely? Not once did they
have me access Op's Nav. They did a lot of work in CFGTCP and I did a
little work in Domino. Either we lucked out on the Op's Nav or they know
the back doors.
When in Rochester one time I was working on a Netserver issue. The IBMer
assisting me didn't use Op's Nav to configure. She typed in CALL's with a
bunch of hex codes. She found this easier and faster. Sooner or later
though IBM will start putting all of the processing for change on the PC
and just store the data on the 400. And with their phobia of object
oriented design and their infatuation with the IFS, you can bet it will
reside in there. Therefore there will be a lack of API's, (well at least
API's which will run on the 400). Our hope then is that they use simple
text files in the IFS to store this information. Thereby making remote
support easier.

Actually, I'm less worried about what the cause was - in fact, I'm happy
that the IP filtering worked so well! - but rather that there was no simple
way to tell from the AS/400 that IP filtering was enabled. And there might
be such a way, but if there is, I'm not familiar with it.
To me, anything that can be created "offline" (ACLs, IP filtering, et al)
should at least have a green-screen status display. And believe me, if I
can figure a way to do so, I will definitely create one. I have to think
there's an API or some other way to determine whether IP filtering is
enabled; a simple green screen display showing something like:
Communications
ETHLINE: IP Filtering *ENABLED
That would have saved me literally days of frustration.

Nearly everything we use on a daily basis has a right and wrong usage.
In this case Joe (or more likely a predecessor or-coworker) enabled a
function withoug proper understanding or documentation of what was done.
