Starting TCP/IP using special parameters

Before you can configure IPv4 or IPv6 interfaces in restricted state, you must use special parameters to start TCP/IP.

Complete the following steps to start TCP/IP while your operating system is in restricted state:
  1. On the command line, type STRTCP (Start TCP/IP command) and press F4 (Prompt) to access the Start TCP/IP menu.
  2. Specify *NO for the Start application servers, Start TCP/IP interfaces, and Start point-to-point profiles parameters.
  3. Specify *YES for the Start IPv6 parameter if IPv6 is needed.
  4. Press Enter to submit the configuration.
Note: The above commands start TCP/IP, but do not start TCP/IP application servers or IP interfaces.
