<h3 id="scenario6">Scenario: Configure a PPP connection through an ISP</h3>
|
|
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Situation</span></p>
|
|
<p>Suppose you are responsible for maintaining an iSeries™ server for
|
|
MyCompany, a small manufacturing company in Boone, Iowa. As part of providing
|
|
this support, you need to establish a connection between electronic customer
|
|
support and MyCompany's iSeries server.</p>
|
|
<p>Since MyCompany has an existing Internet dial-up connection, you can create
|
|
a connection from your iSeries server through your modem and dial up connection
|
|
to your ISP. Because you do not need to provide connections for other systems,
|
|
you do not need to consider providing connections for other servers or partitions.</p>
|
|
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Solution</span></p>
|
|
<p>Create a Universal Connection to IBM® through a dialup connection over the Internet.
|
|
In this case, you establish a connection through the Connection Manager on
|
|
your local iSeries server through a point-to-point Internet connection to electronic
|
|
customer support.</p>
|
|
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Advantages</span></p>
|
|
<p>This scenario provides the following advantages:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>MyCompany does not need to invest in additional hardware
|
|
or software to receive benefit from electronic customer support. You can configure
|
|
this connection through the Universal Connection wizard or CL commands.</li>
|
|
<li>The Internet connection provides a simple means of ensuring that MyCompany
|
|
has electronic customer support available for ease of troubleshooting server
|
|
problems, tracking current system hardware and software, or receiving software
|
|
updates and fixes.</li>
|
|
<li>You can use your existing ISP connection for electronic customer support
|
|
so that you do not have to disconnect from your ISP to connect to IBM.

<div class="notetitle" id="wq101">Note:</div>
|
|
<div class="notebody">In this scenario, MyCompany is using a dial-up ISP. You can use other originator
|
|
ISP connections such as leased line or point-to-point over Ethernet.</div></li></ul>
|
|
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Objectives </span></p>
|
|
<p>In this scenario, the customer wants to ensure that IBM can support
|
|
the MyCompany system over the network though a point-to-point Internet service
|
|
provider (ISP) connection. The objectives of this scenario are as follows:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To create a secure connection between MyCompany and electronic customer
|
|
support through MyCompany's point-to-point dial-up ISP</li>
|
|
<li>To automate customer support through electronic customer support and services</li>
|
|
<li>To allow electronic customer support to create an electronic hardware
|
|
and software inventory of MyCompany's iSeries system</li>
|
|
<li>To permit electronic customer support to send software fixes and updates
|
|
to MyCompany over the network</li></ul>
|
|
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Details</span></p>
|
|
<p>The following diagram illustrates connecting the MyCompany iSeries server to
|
|
electronic customer support through an ISP connection.</p>

|
<p><span class="bold">Configuring Universal Connection</span></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>iSeries Navigator launches the Universal Connection Wizard to configure
|
|
the connection. This only needs to be done once unless some configuration
|
|
information needs to be updated.</li></ul>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Using Universal Connection</span></p>
|
|
<p>When a Service Application wants to use the Universal Connection to communicate
|
|
with IBM the following will occur:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If the connection to your ISP is not currently active, the specified profile
|
|
is started to allow connections to the Internet.</li>
|
|
<li>A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is established through your
|
|
existing Internet connection to a VPN Gateway at IBM if the service application is not providing
|
|
its own security.</li>
|
|
<li>The service application communicates with the appropriate IBM servers to perform
|
|
the requested service.</li></ul>

<a name="scenprereqs6"></a>
|
|
<p id="scenprereqs6" class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold"> Prerequisites
|
|
and assumptions</span></p>
|
|
<p>The prerequisites for enabling electronic customer support over a point-to-point
|
|
ISP connection include:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Ensure that the iSeries Access for Windows® and iSeries Navigator exist on your personal computer,
|
|
as described in the <a href="../rzaij/rzaijrzaijinstall.htm">iSeries Access for Windows:
|
|
Installation and setup</a> topic.</li>
|
|
<li>Ensure that you install all of the latest service packs for iSeries Navigator.
|
|
The scenarios show using the V5R4 version of the software.</li>
|
|
<li>Ensure that TCP/IP is active. You can start TCP/IP through the Start TCP/IP
|
|
(STRTCP) command.</li>
|
|
<li>You must have security officer (*SECOFR) authority with *ALLOBJ,
|
|
*IOSYSCFG, and *SECADM special authorities in your i5/OS™ user profile and *USE authority to WRKCNTINF
|
|
in order to configure the connection using the Universal Connection wizard.</li>
|
|
<li>You must install the TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities (5722–TC1).</li>
|
|
<li>You must install the Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) (5722-SS1
|
|
option 34).</li>
|
|
<li>Ensure that the QRETSVRSEC system value is set to 1. You can check this
|
|
value with the Display System Value (DSPSYSVAL) command. If this value is
|
|
not set to 1, enter a Change System Value (CHGSYSVAL) command.</li>
|
|
<li>If you are using an internal modem such as the 56 Kbps modem
|
|
that is provided with the 9793 adapter card, ensure that the network attribute
|
|
MDMCNTRYID is set appropriately. You can check this value with the Display
|
|
Network Attributes (DSPNETA) command. If this value is not set correctly,
|
|
change this value with a CHGNETA command. This allows the account userid and
|
|
password to be stored on the iSeries server.</li>
|
|
<li>The profile used to connect to your ISP must have been previously
|
|
configured.</li>
|
|
<li>Ensure that a TCP/IP route is associated with the ISP profile
|
|
that will route the Universal Connection traffic to your ISP. In most situations,
|
|
the default route will work. For VPN details, see <a href="detvpnaddy.htm#detvpnaddy">Determine the IBM VPN Gateway addresses</a> and <a href="detsdaddy.htm#detsdaddy">Determine the IBM Service Destination addresses</a>.</li></ul>
|
|
