Re: Updating an old ethernet line description

Also be sure to set the Kim and Ricky limit to (1 0) for the Ethernet line to enable continuous recovery. This parm can be changed with the line active and in use.

P.S. in case you didn't make the connection it's CMNRCYLMT(1 0)

Yeash, I noticed an old *DEV attached to the lin/ctl named ETHLIUSR which
wouldn't go active, giving me a message about not being supported. IIRC,
that was the device used for the SNA stuff.

I deleted it.

Do I need to do something to disable non-TCP/IP protocols? As I noticed
this in the help for LINESPEED
Note: The values 1G and 10G specify gigabit
Ethernet. Gigabit Ethernet is only available when
running strictly TCP/IP protocol.

And as mentioned, I know SNA was used originally.

That help is somewhat misleading. It's actually the type of Ethernet
adapter that determines whether IBM i supports TCP/IP only and not
native SNA. All of the gigabit-capable (or faster) adapters are TCP/IP
only.

You don't need to do anything to disable the non-TCP/IP protocols. You
can just change the line speed and duplex settings and you should be OK.
