<h2 id="rzahqpointtopointveth">Explore point to point virtual Ethernet networks</h2>
<p>Each integrated server has a point to point virtual Ethernet network connection
with the iSeries&trade;, which allows the iSeries to control the integrated server. Here
you can learn how to view or change these connections, although they are automatically
configured during installation.</p>
<p><span class="bold">View point to point Ethernet connections from i5/OS</span></p>
<p>point to point Ethernet connections in i5/OS are composed of a line description
and an entry in an integrated server's NWSD.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>To view the line description issue the command <tt>WRKCFGSTS *NWS</tt> from the i5/OS character-based interface.</li>
<li>Find the cascade of entries corresponding to your integrated server. One
of the entries in the Line Description column will have the same name as your
NWSD and end with the characters PP. Enter <tt>8</tt> to
its left and press enter.</li>
<li>Now you are in the Work with Line Descriptions menu. Enter a <tt>5</tt> to the left of your line description and press enter to display its
information.</li>
<li>Press <span class="bold">F3</span> until you return to the base menu.</li>
<li>Now issue the command <tt>CFGTCP</tt> and select option <tt>1</tt>, <span class="bold">Work with TCP/IP interfaces</span>.</li>
<li>One entry in the Line Description column should have the same name as
your NWSD and end with the letters PP.</li>
<li>Option <tt>5</tt> will display the TCP/IP Interface
information, while options <tt>9</tt> and <tt>10</tt> will allow you to enable and disable it. Note the internet address.
It will be used later.</li>
<li>Now we will take a quick look at the entry in the integrated server's
NWSD. Issue the command <tt>WRKNWSD</tt>. Find your integrated
server's NWSD and enter <tt>5</tt> to display it. Press
enter to page through the NWSD attributes.</li>
<li>One of the screens will be titled <span class="bold">Attached lines</span> and
will display Port number <tt>*VRTETHPTP</tt> and the name
of the line description that the network is using.</li>
<li>Back in the <span class="bold">Work with Network Server Descriptions</span> menu
you can use option <tt>2</tt> to change this information.</li></ol>
<p><span class="bold">View point to point Ethernet connections from the integrated
Windows server console</span></p>
<ol type="1">
<li>At the console of your integrated server, click <span class="bold">Start &mdash;>
Settings &mdash;> Control Panel</span>. Then select <span class="bold">Network
and Dial-up Connections</span>.</li>
<li>One of the icons will be named <span class="bold">virtual Ethernet point
to point</span>. Double-click it.</li>
<li>Click <span class="bold">Properties</span> in the dialog box which appears.</li>
<li>Double-click <span class="bold">Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)</span> in the next
dialog box.</li>
<li>In this final dialog box you should see the IP address associated with
the integrated server side of the point to point virtual Ethernet connection.
It should be the i5/OS's IP address augmented by one so as to be even instead
of odd.</li>
<li>Close all of the windows that you opened, click <span class="bold">Start &mdash;>
Run</span>, and enter the command <tt>cmd</tt>. Press enter.
This will start an instance of the Windows command prompt.</li>
<li>At the C:\> command prompt which appears, enter the command ping followed
by the i5/OS IP address which you remember from the last step. For example <tt>ping 192.168.3.1</tt>. The command should return <tt>Reply from ....</tt>. That's good. The ping command sends a packet of data
to a certain internet address and times how long it takes to make a round
trip.</li>
<li>(optional) Return to the i5/OS character-based interface and enter the
command <tt>call qcmd</tt>. (This will increase the display
space so that you can see the results of your commands.) Use the i5/OS command
to ping the integrated server. For example, <tt>ping '192.168.3.2'</tt>. Congratulations! If all went correctly we have proved that you have
a properly functioning point to point virtual Ethernet network.</li></ol>
