Print this page and record the configuration information about your system and the TCP/IP network to which you are connecting. You must refer to this information later when you configure TCP/IP. Use the instructions following the table to help you determine the values for the first two rows. If you are unfamiliar with any of these terms, see the IBM® Redbook TCP/IP for AS/400®: More Cool Things Than Ever for information about basic installation and configuration procedures.
