Managing Ethernet support

After configuring Ethernet support, you can change many things, such as line descriptions and Ethernet performance.

Using existing line descriptions with IBM Navigator for i
To use an existing Ethernet line description with IBM Navigator for i, you need to change the description with an interactive job.
Enabling objects to accept connections
After configuring LAN support, you are ready to enable your configuration objects to accept connections. For SNA, vary on the line and controller descriptions. For TCP/IP, start the interface.
Viewing the LAN IOA address
When configuring a controller description, you must specify the address of the remote input/output adapter (IOA).
Configuration object commands
Configuration object commands are commands that affect your line, controller, or device descriptions. You can view and use these commands by using the GO command.
Tuning Ethernet performance
You can tune an Ethernet network's performance by adjusting the parameters that control its behavior.
