If NVRAM was chosen in the IBM Network Station Setup Utility when the
Network Station was configured, a BOOTP table entry is
not created.
5.6.10 Testing Connectivity
In this scenario, the IBM Network Station is able to access a host beyond the
workstation controller. A 5250 TELNET session was started successfully to IP
address 10.1.1.50 (AS2 system).
A 5250 TELNET session was also started successfully to the local system,
AS1, at IP address 10.1.1.2.
Proxy ARP is also operational. A ping from the AS2 system to the twinax
attached IBM Network Station, at address 10.1.1.194, was successful.
5.6.11 Summary
This scenario installed a twinax subnet on an AS/400 system using a subnet
of the main 10.1.1.0 network. Minimal configuration was performed on each
twinax IBM Network Station. An IP interface was manually created for the
automatically created QTDL configuration, with the aid of messages logged
on the AS/400 server system. This IP interface included an associated local
interface (LCLIFC) parameter that associated the new twinax interface with
the LAN interface on the AS/400 system. This allowed the IBM Network
Station to connect to a system beyond the workstation controller.
Activating the new IP interface allowed the IBM Network Station to complete
its boot up process. Connectivity was tested by starting a 5250 TELNET
session to a remote AS/400 system, AS2.
