Testing TCP/IP
Use this procedure to test TCP/IP connections.
After you have successfully installed TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for i5/OS® licensed program and configured TCP/IP on your system, you should test your TCP/IP connections.
To test your TCP/IP connection to the network,
follow these steps:
- Verify that TCP/IP communication is configured and started on each of the workstations. Use the documentation provided by your workstation vendor.
- From workstation 1, open a command prompt and type ping 192.168.1.3. You might receive a message that confirms that the packet has been sent to System A. This verifies that the workstation can access the system. If the connection to the network fails, see TCP/IP troubleshooting for more information.
