A new series is now available in the Manta System i Training Library, Managing TCP/IP Using iSeries Navigator.
This course covers how to use iSeries Navigator to configure and manage TCP/IP on an i5/OS system. As you will see, TCP/IP is unlike most i5/OS components in that some TCP/IP functions can only be configured using iSeries Navigator — no equivalent commands exist.The course begins by discussing the basic configuration tasks that can be performed using either the text-based (green-screen) interface or iSeries Navigator. You will see how to use iSeries Navigator to check that all TCP/IP components are installed, to check the status of lines, to create a new TCP/IP interface, and to specify TCP/IP route information.
The course then shows how to identify the domain name servers to be used and how to update the local host table. You will also see how to modify global TCP/IP settings, including port restrictions and the list of servers to be started automatically.
Basic TCP/IP troubleshooting is covered next. You will see the iSeries Navigator equivalents of PING, NETSTAT, and TRACERT, as well as other displays that are unique to iSeries Navigator.
TCP/IP application servers are discussed next. You will see how to start and end individual servers and how to set common configuration options, including whether a server is started automatically when TCP/IP is started and the number of server tasks to be used initially. The course then shows how to configure two servers that can only be set up using iSeries Navigator: DHCP and DNS.
The course ends by showing how to configure a dial-up line that uses the TCP/IP Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
Managing TCP/IP Using iSeries Navigator takes approximately 3 hours to complete. The price for a single-user license is $179 for CD delivery or $110 for Internet delivery.
This course is also included in both the TCP/IP in the System i Environment series and the iSeries Navigator series.
This series is available automatically to customers who have purchased the entire System i Training Library, either for CD delivery with the optional maintenance plan or for MantaNow delivery. It is also available to MantaNow users of the System Administration Combination Pack, System Administration and Operations Super Combination Pack, and the iSeries Access Combination Pack.
