Vary on lines, controllers, and devices

Let TCP/IP vary on your lines, controllers, and devices automatically.

Your line descriptions, network server descriptions, and network interface descriptions should be configured to vary on when TCP/IP starts. This allows these configuration objects to start at the same time TCP/IP starts.

To configure your configuration objects to vary on when TCP/IP starts, 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.
