TCP/IP and the AS/400 Author:Michael Ryan Need to integrate an AS/400 into a multivendor network? Need to use an AS/400 as a Web server? Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is fast becoming a major AS/400 protocol because of TCP/IP's ubiquity and predominance in the networked world as well as its being the protocol for the Internet, intranets, and extranets. Regardl... more »ess of the location or type of system that hosts the information, the important issue is widespread connectivity - and that connectivity is available on the AS/400 with TCP/IP The AS/400 supports excellent implementations of all the standard TCP/IP services. TCP/IP and the AS/400 provides background for AS/400 professionals to understand the capabilities of TCP/IP, its strengths and weaknesses, and how to configure and administer the TCP/IP protocol stack on the AS/400. It shows TCP/IP gurus on other types of systems how to configure and manage the AS/400 TCP/IP capabilities. TCP/IP and the AS/400 covers TCP/IP fundamentals Standard TCP/IP services, including Virtual terminal access File transfers E-mail TCP/IP addressing and routing Configuring, implementing, and managing TCP/IP services on the AS/400 Configuring clients for a TCP/IP implementation The AS/400 as a Web server V4R 1 and V4R2 TCP/IP enhancements, including support for Bootstrap Protocol Remote Procedure Call Domain Name Service Point-to-Point Protocol IBM's breadth of TCP/IP support on the AS/400 is significant.
