Configuring a System i TCP/IP Interface
• Do not enter the IP address of the printer or set the System i interface address to be the same as the
printer IP address. Also, do not add the printer to the System i TCP/IP interface list.
Configuring the System i Interface with ADDTCPIFC
ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to System i. This step configures the System i for
attachment to a TCP/IP network.
1. At the System i command line, enter a command in the form:
ADDTCPIFC INTNETADR('9.99.15.188') LIND(ETHLAN) SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.0')
2. A completed screen should look like the following:
3. The following parameters are required:
•
Internet Address
Internet address of the System i Ethernet LAN adapter.
• Subnet Mask
The subnet mask for this System i TCP/IP interface (for example, 255.255.255.0).
• Line description
The name assigned to the System i line description. Each System i LAN adapter will have its
own line description.
• Do not enter the IP address of the printer for Internet Address.
Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry
Although optional, we recommend that you create a TCP/IP host table entry.
Add the System i name and the IP address of the LAN adapter to the "Host Table Entries". Also, add the
hostname and IP address of the printer to the list. You can access the host table entries function by using
the CFGTCP command, then selecting option 10 from the menu.
