Configure i5/OS TCP/IP for integrated Windows servers

When you install Windows environment for iSeries™, you have the option of using values that you specified in the i5/OS™ TCP/IP configuration as default values to configure your integrated server. If you want to take this option and do not already have TCP/IP configured, you must configure it before installing IBM® i5/OS Integrated Server Support. You also need to add your gateway address to i5/OS. For more information about configuring TCP/IP, see the TCP/IP topic.

If you have iSeries Navigator installed, you can use it to configure your TCP/IP connections. The iSeries Navigator online help tells you how to configure TCP/IP. If you do not have iSeries Navigator installed, follow these steps:

1. On the i5/OS console, enter the command CFGTCP and press Enter. The Configure TCP/IP menu appears.
2. Select option 12 Change TCP/IP Domain information and press Enter. The Change TCP/IP Domain (CHGTCPDMN) display appears.
3. Specify the Local domain name from the Installation worksheet for i5/OS parameters.
4. In the Domain name server field, specify up to 3 IP addresses from the Windows server installation advisor or from the Installation worksheet for i5/OS parameters; then press Enter.

   To add your gateway IP address to i5/OS:

5. From the Configure TCP/IP menu, choose option 2 Work with TCP/IP routes. The Work with TCP/IP Routes display appears.
6. Type 1 in the Option field to add a TCP/IP route. The Add TCP/IP Route display appears.
7. Fill in the appropriate fields with the information for your gateway address.
