Establishing a TCP connection

If TCP is already configured there are no extra configuration tasks. If TCP/IP is not configured you need to: add a TCP/IP interface, add a TCP/IP loopback interface, and add a default route.

Add a TCP/IP interface

1. At a command-line, type ADDTCPIFC and press enter.

   Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC)
     
   Type choices, press Enter.
     
   Internet address . . . . . . . .  19.22.11.55
   Line description . . . . . . . .  TOKENRINGL  Name, *LOOPBACK
   Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . .  255.255.0.0
   Type of service . . . . . . . .  *NORMAL    *MINDELAY, *MAXTHRPUT..
   Maximum transmission unit . . .  *LIND     576-16388, *LIND
   Autostart . . . . . . . . . . .  *YES     *YES, *NO
   PVC logical channel identifier          001-FFF
   + for more values
   X.25 idle circuit timeout . . .  60      1-600
   X.25 maximum virtual circuits .  64      0-64
   X.25 DDN interface . . . . . . .  *NO      *YES, *NO
   TRLAN bit sequencing . . . . . .  *MSB     *MSB, *LSB

2. Specify the IP address and Line description, and a Subnet mask of the machine.
3. Press enter.

Add a TCP/IP loopback interface

1. At a command-line, type ADDTCPIFC and press enter.

   Add TCP Interface (ADDTCPIFC)
     
   Type choices, press Enter.
     
   Internet address . . . . . . . .  127.0.0.1
   Line description . . . . . . . .  *LOOPBACK   Name, *LOOPBACK
   Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . .  255.0.0.0
   Type of service . . . . . . . .  *NORMAL    *MINDELAY, *MAXTHRPUT..
   Maximum transmission unit . . .  *LIND     576-16388, *LIND
   Autostart . . . . . . . . . . .  *YES     *YES, *NO
   PVC logical channel identifier          001-FFF
   + for more values
   X.25 idle circuit timeout . . .  60      1-600
   X.25 maximum virtual circuits .  64      0-64
   X.25 DDN interface . . . . . . .  *NO      *YES, *NO
   TRLAN bit sequencing . . . . . .  *MSB     *MSB, *LSB

2. Specify the values for IP address, Line description, and Subnet mask.

Add a default route

1. At a command-line, type ADDTCPRTE and press enter.

   Add TCP Route (ADDTCPRTE)
     
   Type choices, press Enter.
     
   Route destination . . . . . . .  *DFTROUTE
   Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . .  *NONE
   Type of service . . . . . . . .  *NORMAL    *MINDELAY, *MAXTHRPUT.
   Next hop . . . . . . . . . . . .  19.2.3.4
   Maximum transmission unit . . .  576      576-16388, *IFC

   Command prompting ended when user pressed F12.
   
   

2. Enter values appropriate to your network and press enter to create a default route entry.

What next?

The TCP connection is now established. You are ready to complete the configuration. Go to IBM MQ for IBM i configuration.
