Enter the following command to create an Ethernet line
crtlineth lind(ETHLINE) rsrcname(CMN02) linespeed(100M)
Check the Ethernet cable. One side should be connected to the AS/400, the other side should be connected to the Ethernet hub.
Enter the following command to vary on the line
vrycfg cfgobj(ETHLINE) cfgtype(*lin) status(*on)
To check the line status enter command
wrkcfgsts cfgtype(*lin) cfgd(ETHLINE)
Note that the line will display the VARIED ON status until TCP/IP is started.

           As an alternative, you may define the IP address
           of your AS/400 by entering the following command

           
           addtcpifc intnetadr('192.168.0.2')
           lind(ethline)
           
    
           subnetmask('255.255.255.0')

To start this TCP/IP interface, select it with 9=Start from the screen in <a href="#FIGURE3">Figure 3</a>,
or just enter command
strtcpifc intnetadr('192.168.0.2')

You should now add a Default Gateway (or route) to your AS/400 configuration. This would allow the AS/400 to route to your Internet service provider the conversations which cannot be handled on the local network.

From the menu in <a href="#FIGURE2">Figure 2</a> select option 2. Work with TCP/IP routes: <a name="FIGURE5">

       3. Defining names and tables

You are now going to define the AS/400 host name, its domain name, and its DNS server addresses.
From the menu in <a href="#FIGURE2">Figure 2</a> select option 12. Change TCP/IP domain information (or prompt command chgtcpdmn); please substitute our sample values with your; see your <a href="/web/20181202020333/http://www.easy400.net/tcpcfgp/worksheet.pgm">checklist</a>. <a name="FIGURE8">

           Please note that the host name is up to you;
           it may be different from the one you display with
           command dspneta.

Now you have to update the host table with the host name of your AS/400.

           It's important that you specify two host names:

the full one, in the format host_name.domain_name
and the domain_name by itself

           to allow a correct routing of the electronic mail
           from the service provider.

You should now specify the User ID and Address that the mail services will use to route mail that have an internet address as recipients. Operate as follow:

Enter command chgdsta (Change Distribution Attributes) and press F4. Make sure that the Distribution Attributes are as follow: <a name="FIGURE12">

       are not. These are:

       the HTTP server (WEB server), the SMTP server
       (e-mailer towards the Internet), and
       the POP3 server (e-mailer towards the internal users).

About Mail Service Framework (MSF)
MSF controls the AS/400 mail services.
It starts at IPL time.
However, as you just changed the TCP/IP configuration, you have to restart it by entering the following commands
endmsf option(*immed)
strmsf
For more information about MSF, please check IBM AS/400 redbook <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181202020333/http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg244703.pdf" target="_blank"> SG24-4703 AS/400 Electronic-Mail Capabilities </a>.

       5. Autostarting TCP/IP at IPL time

       
       Before OS/400 V4R4, to autostart your TCP/IP at IPL time,
