Configuring TCP/IP over Ethernet

IBM Navigator for i provides a configuration wizard for you to set up Ethernet support for TCP/IP.

To configure a new TCP/IP interface that is used with Ethernet, follow these steps:

  1. In IBM Navigator for i , expand IBM i Management > Network > TCP/IP Configuration > IPv4 or IPv6 and click IPv4 Interfaces or IPv6 Interfaces.
  2. Click Actions and select New Interface > Local Area Network. This takes you to the New Interface Wizard.
    Remember: You can choose to use an existing line description or have a new one created by IBM Navigator for i.
  3. If you did not choose to turn on the TCP/IP interface, you can do so now. Follow the instructions in Starting the TCP/IP interface .
