Step 4: Test connection

After you finish configuring both servers, you should test the connectivity to ensure that the systems are sharing the modem to reach external networks. To do this, follow these steps:

Ensure the L2TP terminator profile is active.
1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand 10.1.1.73 > Network > Remote Access Services > Receiver Connection Profiles.
2. In the right pane, find the required profile (toExternal) and verify the Status field is Active. If not, right-click the profile and select Start.
Start the Remote dial profile on 10.1.1.74.
1. In iSeries Navigator, expand 10.1.1.74 > Network > Remote Access Services > Originator Connection Profiles.
2. In the right pane, find the required profile (toModem) and verify the Status field is Active. If not, right-click the profile and select Start.
Start the Remote dial profile on iSeries B.
1. In iSeries Navigator, expand 192.168.1.2 > Network > Remote Access Services > Originator Connection Profiles.
2. In the right pane, find the profile you created and verify the Status field is Active. If not, right-click the profile and select Start.
If possible, ping the ISP or other destination that you've dialed to verify both profiles are active. You will attempt the ping from both 10.1.1.74 and 192.168.1.2.
As an alternative, you can also check the Connection Status.
1. In iSeries Navigator, expand the required server (such as 10.1.1.73) > Network > Remote Access Services > Originator Connection Profiles.
2. In the right pane, right-click the profile you created and select Connections. On the Connection Status window you can see which profiles are active, inactive, connecting, and more.
