IBM AS/400E Creating a Point-to-Point Prole for LAN Access with Dynamic Routing (RIP)

Creating a Point-to-Point Profile for LAN Access with Dynamic
Routing (RIP)
Access Point-to-Point functions through Operations Navigator.
From the General page, perform the following tasks:
vSpecify a profile name (REMOTE_ABC for this example).
vSelect PPP as the ″Type.″
vSelect Switched line-dial as the ″Mode.″
From the TCP/IP Settings page, perform the following tasks:
vSpecify your ″Local IP address.″Since this example is
Unnumbered Net ,an
existing token-ring interface, 10.5.0.1, is selected from the ″Local IP address″
pull-down box.
vSpecify your ″Remote IP address.″In this example, Route specified is selected.
Remote IP addresses are defined from the entries that are defined in the
Routing dialog that appears when you click Routing.
Note: Route specified is valid only for switched line-answer profiles.
vCheck ″Allow IP forwarding.″IP packets that originate from the remote LAN are
allowed to flow through AS/400 to the ″Corporate Network″or other remote
LANs.
Click Routing to add entries to the Route specified IP addresses. From the
Routing page, perform the following tasks:
vFor ″Dynamic routing,″select None. Routing will be accomplished through static
routing. RIP is used within the ″Corporate Network″but not on remote links.
vFor ″Static routing,″select Use static routes:
– Caller REMOTE_A receives IP address 192.168.4.1. Asubnet mask of
255.255.255.0 allows AS/400 to add a direct route to the 192.168.4.0 network.
