Does anyone know how to insert and configure an ethernet card in an AS400 9406 model 200 and configure TCP/IP.

any help would be greatly appreciated
 
It's actually pretty easy.

Shut off the server, put in the network card. reboot, and it should find it OK on it's own.

from the command line:
CFGTCP

(note there's probably a shortcut for this but I couldn't come up with it!)

1 for add interface...

here's an example of ours
[red]
Internet address . . . . . . . . . : 10.10.3.2
Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Line description . . . . . . . . . : ETHLINE
Line type . . . . . . . . . . . . : *ELAN
Associated local interface . . . . : *NONE
Interface status . . . . . . . . . : Active
Type of service . . . . . . . . . : *MAXRLB
Maximum transmission unit . . . . : *LIND
Automatic start . . . . . . . . . : *YES

Note that you can also do this using Client Access Express, but since I started on the command line I'm sort of a purist at this point, and there's no turning back!

From there you can configure the services you want to start by going through the various options in "go network".

At the end all you need to do is STR TCP. You'll see all the services starting up at that point.

From there you should try to ping a host on the same subnet. If you can ping then you have it set!

Domain information can be done from the CFGTCP menu as well.

More information from the AS/400 information center for configuring with client access.
