Note: You can use iSeries Navigator to stop TCP/IP. However, if you
stop TCP/IP, you are likely to lose your iSeries Navigator connection to the server
because iSeries Navigator
requires TCP/IP for its own connection. Therefore, in most situations you
should use some form of console to start and stop TCP/IP so that you do not
lose the very connection you are working with. In this case and depending
on your hardware configuration, you can use a
Twinaxial console,
Operations Console,
or the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to start and stop TCP/IP because
these consoles do not require TCP/IP to be started in
i5/OS™.
