Assigning your line description to a TCP/IP interface

To use your line description with TCP/IP, you must associate the line description with a new or existing TCP/IP interface.

You can use the Change TCP/IP Interface (CHGTCPIFC) CL command to assign a line description to a TCP/IP interface. Use the Internet Address (INTNETADR) keyword to specify the internet address of the TCP/IP interface you want to configure. The internet address is specified in the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where nnn is a decimal number ranging from 0 through 255. Use the Line Description (LIND) keyword to specify the name of the line description to be associated with the TCP/IP interface. The following example illustrates how to assign the line description ETH0 to the TCP/IP interface 10.1.1.1 with the CHGTCPIFC command:

CHGTCPIFC INTNETADR('10.1.1.1') LIND(ETH0)
