Starting TCP - Using the IPL Attributes Versus the System Startup Program

Troubleshooting


Problem

This document provides information about using the CHGIPLA command versus the Startup Program to start TCP.

Resolving The Problem

This document provides information about using the CHGIPLA command versus the Startup Program to start TCP.
 
Important Note: For systems running R610 and higher, the STRTCP processing has new timing functionality and configuration changes to allow for the IPL Attributes to be successful. IBM recommends using the IPL Attributes (CHGIPLA) to start TCP services at R610 and beyond.

With the introduction of R510 IBM i, a new Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) parameter was incorporated into the Change IPL Attributes (CHGIPLA) command. This parameter allows for the starting of TCP/IP after the system IPLs or comes out of restricted (RSTD) state. By default, the value is set to *YES, and the system attempts to start TCP.
