<h1 class="topictitle1">Start interfaces</h1>
<div><p>Start the appropriate interfaces to ensure your network communication.</p>
<div class="section"> <div class="p">Your network communication might be failing because your interfaces
have not been activated. Remember these tips to ensure your interfaces are
functioning correctly. <ul><li>Verify that your interfaces are configured and activated by using Netstat.
For those interfaces you always want active, you should specify AUTOSTART
(*YES). They will automatically start when TCP/IP is started.</li>
<li>If you are using profiles for remote access services, such as Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), you should verify that
the profiles are active. To verify the status of the profiles, follow these
steps: <ol><li>In iSeries™ Navigator,
select your <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">iSeries server</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Network</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol"> Remote Access Services</span></span>.</li>
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">Originator Connection Profiles</span> or <span class="uicontrol">Receiver
Connection Profiles</span> depending on the type of profile you want
to verify, and view the list of profiles in the right pane to verify the status.
To start a profile, right-click the profile and select <span class="uicontrol">Start</span>.</li>
</ol>
<div class="p">If you want any of the remote access services profiles to automatically
start when TCP/IP is started, you should specify AUTOSTART (*YES) for those
profiles. It might be useful to set the profiles to automatically start with
TCP/IP in these types of situations: <ul><li>You want to have a constant dialup connection to the ISP.</li>
<li>You schedule an IPL at midnight and you want the profiles to automatically
start during the IPL.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li>Verify that the QTCPIP job is active. See <a href="rzakujobexist.htm#jobexist">Verify
that necessary jobs exist</a> for these instructions. The QTCPIP job must
be active before you can start or end your interfaces.</li>
<li>Be aware that your line descriptions, network server descriptions, and
network interface descriptions should be configured to vary on with TCP/IP.
This allows these configuration objects to start at the same time TCP/IP starts.
See <a href="rzakuvryon.htm#vryon">Vary on communication lines, controllers,
and devices</a> for more information.</li>
