Activating filter rules on both systems
The wizard automatically creates the packet rules that this connection requires to work properly. However,
activate them on both systems before you can start the virtual private network (VPN) connection.
To do this on System A, follow these steps:
If you lose connection to the system after activating filter rules, delete all filter rules currently active on the system. To do this, use the RMVTCPTBL (*ALL) command from a character-based interface.
- In iSeries™ Navigator, expand System A > Network > IP Policies.
- Right-click Packet Rules and select Activate Rules.
- On the Activate Packet Rules page, select activate only the VPN generated rules and select ETHLINE as the interface on which you would like to activate these filter rules. Click OK.
- Repeat these steps to activate packet rules on System B,
using ELINE instead of ETHLINE for the interface.
