Mainframe TCP/IP Configuration Examples


IBM’s TCP/IP For MVS or VM – Single Link

The following example shows the statements that would be added to the standard IBM TCP/IP configuration dataset PROFILE.TCPIP, when the Bus-Tech TCP controller is the only connection. In this example, we assume that two devices have been defined in the IOCP configuration as channel-to-channel adapters, with addresses 9F0 and 9F1. We assume that the network is an Ethernet "Class C" IP network, having a network IP address of 192.168.4.xxx, with 254 possible nodes. We also assume there is a router on the network with the IP address of 192.168.4.254, which knows how to reach other networks outside of 192.168.4.xxx.

IBM’s TCP/IP for MVS or VM – Multiple Links

The following example shows the statements (in boldface) that would be added to the standard IBM TCP/IP configuration dataset PROFILE.TCPIP, when the Bus-Tech TCP controller is being installed as an additional connection. In this example, we assume that there are 2 existing Token-Ring links, and Bus-Tech TCP controller is being added as a new Ethernet link. The new Ethernet link defines a "Class C" network having the address 198.162.4.xxx. Note that Token-Ring link TRLINK1 will still be the master link to the outside world, via its gateway router at 10.200.5.1.

Interlink’s TCP-Access for MVS – Single Link

The following example shows the statements that would be added to the standard TCP Access configuration member ACPCFG0x, when the Bus-Tech TCP controller is the only connection. In this example, we assume that two devices have been defined in the IOCP configuration as channel-to-channel adapters, with addresses 9F0 and 9F1. We assume that the network is a "Class C" IP network, on Ethernet wiring, having a network IP address of 192.168.4.xxx, with 254 possible nodes. We also assume there is a router on the network with the IP address of 192.168.4.254, which knows how to reach other networks outside of 192.168.4.xxx.

The following example shows the statements (in boldface) that would be added to the standard TCP Access configuration member ACPCFG0x, when the Bus-Tech TCP controller is being installed as an additional connection. In this example, we assume that there is 1 existing FDDI link, and Bus-Tech TCP controller is being added as a new Ethernet link. The new Ethernet link defines a "Class C" network having the address 198.162.4.xxx. Note that FDDILINK will still be the master link to the outside world, via its gateway router at 10.200.5.1.

Connectivity Systems TCP/IP for VSE

The following example shows a sample configuration of a single Bus-Tech MAN or ELC4VSE Ethernet controller. The configuration defines a single connection on a "Class C" network having the address 192.168.14.1, and it defines a gateway router at 192.168.14.254. This is not a complete configuration, and primarily shows the statements relevent to defining the ELC4VSE controller.

SET IPADDR = 192.168.14.1
SET MASK = 255.255.255.000

Barnard Software TCP/IP-Tools

The following sample for a single MAN connection is a slight variation
on the example for a 3172 LCS connection in the TCP/IP-Tools manual.The

device address pair of AF0-AF1 is used for the channel connection.
