Assign your line description to a TCP/IP interface:

To use your line description with TCP/IP, you must associate the line description with a new or existing TCP/IP interface.

To associate the line description with a new interface, follow the procedures in Configure TCP/IP over Ethernet. During the interface creation process, you will choose the line description that you have just changed from the list of line descriptions.

To associate your line description with an existing interface, complete the following steps:

You must have iSeries Navigator installed to do the following steps.
  1. If this is the first time you are using iSeries™ Navigator to access your iSeries, use the wizard to configure TCP/IP on the server.
  2. Expand the iSeries that has the line description that you have just changed.
  3. Select Network > Protocol.
  4. Right click TCP/IP and select Interface.
  5. Double click the interface that you will associate your line description with.
  6. Click the Resource tab and select your line description from the Line name option.
