<h3 id="scenario2">Scenario: Configure a PPP dial-up connection for a server that provides
|
|
connectivity for other systems through AGNS</h3>
|
|
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Situation</span></p>
|
|
<p>In this situation, 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 the four MyCompany iSeries servers. Since MyCompany does not have
|
|
an Internet network connection, you could dial into AT®&T to connect your iSeries servers to IBM® over
|
|
a point-to point connection. In addition, the only modem you currently have
|
|
is an external 7852-400 modem, and you want to utilize this modem for all
|
|
your servers.</p>
|
|
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Solution</span></p>
|
|
<p>Create a Universal Connection to IBM through the AT&T Global Network Services (AGNS). In
|
|
this case, you establish a connection through the Connection Manager on the iSeries server that has a modem through an AGNS point-to-point connection to
|
|
electronic customer support. The iSeries server acts as a connecting point for
|
|
the other three servers.</p>
|
|
<p>As an option, your system can act as a connecting point for
|
|
other the other three MyCompany servers in your company that need to connect
|
|
to electronic customer support services, as described in <a href="scenario3.htm#scenario3">Configure a remote PPP dial-up connection</a>. In this case, you must either
|
|
select an existing L2TP terminator profile, or let the Universal Connection
|
|
wizard create an L2TP terminator profile. See <a href="../rzaiy/rzaiyvrtline.htm">L2TP (virtual
|
|
line)</a> for additional information about L2TP terminator profiles.</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 using your existing external modem
|
|
or using CL commands.</li>
|
|
<li>MyCompany's other three servers can remotely connect to electronic customer
|
|
support through a single server. MyCompany would only need a single modem
|
|
instead of a separate modem for each system or partition.</li>
|
|
<li>The AGNS 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>The AGNS provides a secure connection between MyCompany and IBM by
|
|
implementing its own security when making a connection. You do not need to
|
|
provide additional security.</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 connection through
|
|
the AT&T Global Network Services. The objectives of this scenario are
|
|
as follows: </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To create a secure point-to-point dial-up connection between the MyCompany's
|
|
4 servers and electronic customer support through AT&T Global Network Services</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 AT&T Global Network Services 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 on the system providing connectivity
|
|
to others, and also once on each system using the connectivity.</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 iSeries A needs to connect, a Point-to-Point connection is made through
|
|
the local modem to an AT&T Local Interface Gateway (LIG). If iSeries B, C or D
|
|
needs to connect, a Point-to-Point connection is made through an L2TP tunnel
|
|
using the remote modem to the AT&T LIG.</li>
|
|
<li>A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is established, if the service application
|
|
is not providing its own encrypted communications, through the AT&T LIG and
|
|
the Internet to a VPN Gateway at IBM.</li>
|
|
<li>The service application communicates with the appropriate IBM servers to perform
|
|
the requested service.</li></ul>

|
|
<p id="scenprereqs2" class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Prerequisites
|
|
and assumptions</span></p>
|
|
<p>The prerequisites for enabling electronic customer support over an AGNS
|
|
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>For the virtual private network (VPN) and SSL to operate,
|
|
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 System Value
|
|
(DSPSYSVAL) command. If this value is not set correctly, change this value
|
|
with a Change System Value (CHGSYSVAL) command. This allows the account userid
|
|
and password to be stored on the iSeries server.</li>
|
|
<li>IP connectivity is required between the system or partition with the modem
|
|
and the systems or partitions wishing to use it.</li></ul>
|
|
