Varying on lines, controllers, and devices

Your line descriptions, network server descriptions, and network interface descriptions should be configured to vary on when you start TCP/IP interfaces. The configuration allows these objects to start as part of starting TCP/IP interfaces. You vary on these objects by specifying these objects not to be online at IPL time.

To configure your configuration objects to vary on as part of starting a TCP/IP interface, follow these steps:

  1. At the command line, type WRKLIND for the line description, WRKNWSD for the network server description, or WRKNWID for the network interface description, depending on the type of configuration object you want to change.
  2. Select option 2 (Change) in front of the object description you want to change, and press Enter.
  3. For the Online at IPL prompt, type *NO, and press Enter.
