Configure TCP/IP for NetWare

If your system is at V4R3 or later, you can use iSeries™ Navigator to configure your TCP/IP connections. You can find more information on configuring TCP/IP in the iSeries Navigator online help.

Note:
You must also use the Change Network Server Attributes (CHGNWSA) command to specify the NetWare TCP/IP port and NetWare IP/ server list. Define network server attributes has information about using this command to change system defaults.

If you do not have iSeries Navigator, you can use the Configure TCP/IP (CFGTCP) command. To configure TCP/IP, follow these steps:

  1. On the iSeries console, enter the command CFGTCP. The Configure TCP/IP menu appears.
  2. Select option 12. Change TCP/IP Domain information. The Change Local Domain and Host Names display appears.
  3. Specify the Local domain name; then press Enter.
  4. In the Server Address field, specify up to 3 server addresses.

For more information about TCP/IP, you can refer to the book TCP/IP Configuration and Reference Link outside the Information Center.

When you are done configuring TCP/IP, you are ready to install Novell NetWare patches on the servers.
