IBM AS/400E 144

If you want AS/400 to do this, set the ProxyARP parameter (“Allow Proxy ARP” on

page 143 ) to Y.

Notes:

1. Only interface types that support ARP can be used with ProxyARP. Interface

types that support ARP include token-ring, Ethernet, and FDDI. Point-to-point

interface types such as X.25 and *SLIP do not support ARP.

2. Proxy ARP does not mean

proxy gateway

. PCs connected directly to the LAN

cannot use AS/400 system as a gateway for Internet access through SLIP.

Be sure that the local interface is active before you start the conﬁguration proﬁle.

The start fails if the local interface is not active when you start the point-to-point

TCP/IP proﬁle. Todetermine if the interface is active, type the following:

NETSTAT *IFC

Add Default Route:

6Select Yto add a default route to the system. AS/400 adds the route when

the SLIP session is started. The local interface address speciﬁed in this

conﬁguration proﬁle is the next hop for the default route that is added.

Note: Only one default route can be active at a time. If you run the Start

Point-to-Point TCP/IP (STRTCPPTP) command for a conﬁguration

proﬁle that speciﬁes Yto add a default route, and a default route is

already active, the session cannot start.

Use this option for *ANS proﬁles if you want to do the following:

vConnect two networks together and use a SLIP connection to do so

vUse an automatic default route to the other network

Otherwise, do not automatically add routes for your *ANS proﬁles.

Line Description:

7Type the name of the line description to be used for this connection.

See “Step 1 - Conﬁgure an Asynchronous Line Description”on page 129 for

information about how to create or ﬁnd the line description.

Autocreate Controller and Device:

8Specify the default value of Y to haveAS/400 automatically create the

controller and device descriptions for the line description speciﬁed in

7

(

“Line Description”). If you specify N, you must specify a remote location

name. See “Remote Location Name” on page145.

Notes:

1. The setting for this parameter does not affect and is not affected by any

of the autoconﬁguration system values (QAUTOCFG, QAUTORMT and

QAUTOVRT).

2. AS/400 creates controller and device descriptions only if they do not

already exist.

If Start Point-to-Point TCP/IP (STRTCPPTP) is issued with

AUTODLTCFG(*YES),then the controller and device description are

deleted when the point-to-point connection ends. The next time you

start a point-to-point connection using this proﬁle the controller and

device descriptions are created again.
