Manage Ethernet support

You can use existing line descriptions with iSeries™ Navigator by assigning it to a TCP/IP interface.

Managing Ethernet support requires many tasks. The following links provide information about some basic steps in Ethernet management

• Use existing line descriptions with iSeries Navigator
  Change settings in the line description and assign it to a TCP/IP interface.
• Enable objects to accept connections
  After configuring LAN support, you are ready to enable your configuration objects to accept connections. For SNA, you vary on the line and controller descriptions. For TCP/IP, you start the interface.
• View the LAN IOA address
  When configuring a controller description, you must specify the address of the remote input/output adapter (IOA).
• Configuration object commands
  View and use commands that affect your line, controller, or device descriptions.
• Tune Ethernet performance
  You can tune an Ethernet network's performance by adjusting the parameters that control its behavior.
