Chapter 1. Configuring TCP/IP ® This chapter explains how to configure an iSeries 400 server for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). If this is the first time that you have configured TCP/IP on an iSeries, you should read the entire chapter before performing any of the configuration tasks. If you are unfamiliar with TCP/IP, see TCP/IP (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/info/ rzahgictcp2.htm) in the Information Center, refer to the Manuals and Redbook
