Step 3: Configuring an interface

You must configure an IPv4 interface by assigning an IPv4 address for your network adapter.

To configure a TCP/IP interface, follow these steps:

  1. On the command line, type CFGTCP (Configure TCP/IP command) and press Enter to access the Configure TCP/IP menu.
  2. Specify Option 1 (Work with TCP/IP interfaces), and then press Enter.
  3. In the Work with TCP/IP Interfaces menu, specify 1 (Add) for the Opt prompt and press Enter to access the Add TCP/IP Interface menu.
  4. At the Internet address prompt, specify a valid IPv4 address that you want to represent your system.
  5. At the Line description prompt, specify the line name that you defined in Step 1.
  6. At the Subnet mask prompt, specify a valid IPv4 address for the subnet mask and press Enter.
  7. To start the interface, type 9 (Start) on the Work with TCP/IP Interface menu for the interface you configured, and then press Enter.
