SLIP

SLIP Configuration, AS/400 calling ISP

The needed configuration elements are:

• TCP/IP Point-to-Point Connection Profile, type *DIAL needed
• Usually ISP assigns IP address dynamically to calling clients
• ISP sees AS/400 as single IP host, i.e. IP hosts in a LAN with the AS/400 have no way to access the Internet via the AS/400
  • AS/400 does not support 'masking'/hand-over IP address
  • Possible way, if ISP assigns AS/400 a fixed block of IP addresses
• Default IP route added dynamically to allow access to entire Internet
• Additional Name Server addresses can be dynamically added to the end of the name server list. This allows you to use the ISP provided name server when accessing the Internet.
• Access authority checking via dialog script
• Modem information required
