Installing TCP/IP
Base TCP/IP support is included with the IBM® i operating system and allows you to connect the system to a network.
If you want to use any TCP/IP applications, such as
Telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP),
you also need to install IBM TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for i5/OS. TCP/IP
Utilities is a separately installable licensed program.
To install TCP/IP Utilities on your system, follow these steps:
Note: Other licensed programs that you
might want to install include:
- IBM i Access for Windows (5761–XE1): This program provides System i® Navigator support that is used to configure some of the TCP/IP components.
- IBM HTTP Server for i (5761–DG1): This program provides Web server support.
- Some TCP/IP applications require installation of additional licensed programs. To find out which programs you need, review the setup instructions for the specific application you want.
