Set up the AnyNet environment

AnyNet/400 is an AnyNet® family product. These products allow you to use application programs that are written for a certain communications protocol but also run over non-native communications protocols without changing (or even re-compiling) the application program. The choice of the destination address controls whether the request is sent over the native protocols or through the AnyNet code and on to a non-native protocol.

To configure Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) over advanced program-to-program communications (APPC), you need to take two basic actions:

  1. Identify the set of IP addresses to route over the SNA network.
  2. Tell the system how to convert the IP address to the SNA format.
