Start IP over SNA Interface (STRIPSIFC)

The Start IP over SNA Interface (STRIPSIFC) command is used to start an AF_INET sockets over SNA interface (an IP address by which this local host is known on the SNA transport).

Restriction: Only eight (8) AF_INET sockets over SNA interfaces can be active on a single host. If the maximum number of interfaces is active and you want to start another interface, you must first end one or more interfaces using the End IP over SNA Interfaces (ENDIPSIFC) CL command.

If the internet address is entered from a command line, the address must be enclosed in apostrophes.
