Configuring TCP/IP using the EZ-Setup wizard

 

If your PC is equipped to use the EZ-Setup wizard, you can use this preferred method to configure TCP/IP. The EZ-Setup wizard is packaged with your System i™ product.

iSeries™ Navigator is a graphical user interface that provides concise dialog boxes and wizards to configure TCP/IP. For initial setup, use the iSeries Navigator's EZ-Setup wizard to establish a connection and to configure TCP/IP for the first time. This is the preferred method for working with your system because the interface is easy to use. The CD-ROM containing the EZ-Setup wizard is packaged with your System i product.

To configure your system, follow these steps:

1. Access the EZ-Setup wizard from the CD-ROM that is packaged with your system.

2. Follow the wizard's instructions to configure TCP/IP.

3. Start TCP/IP.

   1. In iSeries Navigator, expand your system > Network.

   2. Right-click TCP/IP configuration and select Start. All interfaces and servers that were set to start automatically when TCP/IP is started will be started at this time.

You have finished configuring TCP/IP on your system. Use iSeries Navigator to modify the configuration as your networking needs change.

See Customizing TCP/IP with iSeries Navigator to add routes and interfaces or Configuring IPv6 to use Internet Protocol version 6 on your network.
