Re: Need to list all places on the system where a specific IP address is referenced

In addition to what Rob documented quite thoroughly:

Do you have any programs that initiate FTP, SFTP or other communications?
Do you have object connect set up between partitions?
Do you have any APPC devices that communicate to other systems?
Do you have any EDI going on?
Do you have any IP packet rules set up? If so, those need to be modified,
most likely replaced.

If the answer to any of these is yes, then you'll need to scan your source
code for embedded IP addresses.

Now the big one, that you might not have any control over: are any systems
initiating communications TO your system using IP addresses? Example,
anyone that has ACS (or god forbid iSeries Access sessions) set up with a
hard address (first place to look for those is in IT)? How about MS
servers that might use SQL to access DB2? Do they all use DNS, doubtful?

What is the most efficient way of listing all places within the system
that a certain IP address is referenced?
