<h2 id="rzahqpointtopointveth">Explore point to point virtual Ethernet networks</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each integrated server has a point to point virtual Ethernet network connection
|
||
|
|
with the iSeries™, which allows the iSeries to control the integrated server. Here
|
||
|
|
you can learn how to view or change these connections, although they are automatically
|
||
|
|
configured during installation.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">View point to point Ethernet connections from i5/OS</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>point to point Ethernet connections in i5/OS are composed of a line description
|
||
|
|
and an entry in an integrated server's NWSD.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>To view the line description issue the command <tt>WRKCFGSTS *NWS</tt> from the i5/OS character-based interface.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Find the cascade of entries corresponding to your integrated server. One
|
||
|
|
of the entries in the Line Description column will have the same name as your
|
||
|
|
NWSD and end with the characters PP. Enter <tt>8</tt> to
|
||
|
|
its left and press enter.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Now you are in the Work with Line Descriptions menu. Enter a <tt>5</tt> to the left of your line description and press enter to display its
|
||
|
|
information.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press <span class="bold">F3</span> until you return to the base menu.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Now issue the command <tt>CFGTCP</tt> and select option <tt>1</tt>, <span class="bold">Work with TCP/IP interfaces</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>One entry in the Line Description column should have the same name as
|
||
|
|
your NWSD and end with the letters PP.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Option <tt>5</tt> will display the TCP/IP Interface
|
||
|
|
information, while options <tt>9</tt> and <tt>10</tt> will allow you to enable and disable it. Note the internet address.
|
||
|
|
It will be used later.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Now we will take a quick look at the entry in the integrated server's
|
||
|
|
NWSD. Issue the command <tt>WRKNWSD</tt>. Find your integrated
|
||
|
|
server's NWSD and enter <tt>5</tt> to display it. Press
|
||
|
|
enter to page through the NWSD attributes.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>One of the screens will be titled <span class="bold">Attached lines</span> and
|
||
|
|
will display Port number <tt>*VRTETHPTP</tt> and the name
|
||
|
|
of the line description that the network is using.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Back in the <span class="bold">Work with Network Server Descriptions</span> menu
|
||
|
|
you can use option <tt>2</tt> to change this information.</li></ol>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">View point to point Ethernet connections from the integrated
|
||
|
|
Windows server console</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>At the console of your integrated server, click <span class="bold">Start —>
|
||
|
|
Settings —> Control Panel</span>. Then select <span class="bold">Network
|
||
|
|
and Dial-up Connections</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>One of the icons will be named <span class="bold">virtual Ethernet point
|
||
|
|
to point</span>. Double-click it.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">Properties</span> in the dialog box which appears.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Double-click <span class="bold">Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)</span> in the next
|
||
|
|
dialog box.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>In this final dialog box you should see the IP address associated with
|
||
|
|
the integrated server side of the point to point virtual Ethernet connection.
|
||
|
|
It should be the i5/OS's IP address augmented by one so as to be even instead
|
||
|
|
of odd.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Close all of the windows that you opened, click <span class="bold">Start —>
|
||
|
|
Run</span>, and enter the command <tt>cmd</tt>. Press enter.
|
||
|
|
This will start an instance of the Windows command prompt.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>At the C:\> command prompt which appears, enter the command ping followed
|
||
|
|
by the i5/OS IP address which you remember from the last step. For example <tt>ping 192.168.3.1</tt>. The command should return <tt>Reply from ....</tt>. That's good. The ping command sends a packet of data
|
||
|
|
to a certain internet address and times how long it takes to make a round
|
||
|
|
trip.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>(optional) Return to the i5/OS character-based interface and enter the
|
||
|
|
command <tt>call qcmd</tt>. (This will increase the display
|
||
|
|
space so that you can see the results of your commands.) Use the i5/OS command
|
||
|
|
to ping the integrated server. For example, <tt>ping '192.168.3.2'</tt>. Congratulations! If all went correctly we have proved that you have
|
||
|
|
a properly functioning point to point virtual Ethernet network.</li></ol>
