Adding Additional IP Address (Interface) to Existing Adapter in iSeries
On the green-screen, run the Work with Hardware Resources (WRKHDWRSC) command with hardware type (*CMN) as follows to list all the communication adapters found on the system:
WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*CMN)
On the WRKHDWRSC screen, the text description field tells you the type of adapter (e.g., Communications Adaptor,Ethernet port) you are using. Use Display resource detail (option 7) to display the adaptor’s location information. Use Work with configuration descriptions (option 5) to determine if the adapter has any lines currently defined.
Note: We are assuming that:
1. adapter already supports TCPIP - SSAP AA and that adapter's name is ETHLINE1
2. new IP address is 192.168.3.9
3. mask of network is 255.255.255.0
4. dns name of myserver9.mydomain.local
To add the new interface using the command interface, you can type the following Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC) command as one line and press enter:
ADDTCPIFC INTNETADR(‘192.168.3.9’) LIND(ETHLINE1) SUBNETMASK(‘255.255.255.0’)
Now start it with:
STRTCPIFC INTNETADR(192.168.3.9)
Add the domain name to your DNS server pointing to this address. Some administrators also like to "hard-code" the names in the local server's hosts file in case DNS fails. Type the Add TCP/IP Host Table Entry (ADDTCPHTE) command and press enter:
ADDTCPHTE INTNETADR(192.168.3.9) HOSTNAME((myserver9.mydomain.local))
