VPN automatically creates the packet rules that this connection
requires to work properly. However, you must activate them on both systems
before you can start the VPN connection. To do this on iSeries-A, follow these
steps:
In iSeries™ Navigator,
expand iSeries-A > Network > IP Policies.
Right-click Packet Rules and select Activate.
This opens the Activate Packet Rules dialog box.
Select whether you want to activate only the VPN generated rules,
only a selected file, or both the VPN generated rules and a selected file.
You might choose the latter, for instance, if you have miscellaneous PERMIT
and DENY rules that you want to enforce on the interface in addition to the
VPN generated rules.
Select the interface on which you want the rules activated. In
this case, select All interfaces.
Click OK on the dialog box to confirm that
you want to verify and activate the rules on the interface or interfaces you
specified. After you click OK, the system checks the rules for syntax and
semantic errors and reports the results in a message window at the bottom
of the editor. For error messages that are associated with a specific file
and line number, you can right-click the error and select Go To
Line to highlight the error in the file.
Repeat these steps to activate packet rules on iSeries-B.
