20)What is the command to see if the AS400/iSeries can communicate to an IP address?

Question

we're talking aboot AS/400 mainframe computer system comands here.

Answer 1

The ping command will work.

Answer 2

at a command line: PING HostName

if you get no response it is down, if you get "no route to host" we need to add a route to the first router on that network

ADDTCPRTE RTEDEST(*DFTROUTE) SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.0') NEXTHOP('10.10.10.1')<--Where Subnetmask matches your subnet mask of the specific network your AS/400 is on and Next hop is the router for that network.

This adds a default route for communications OUT of your network. If you want to resolve hosts by name, you will need to add DNS Servers in CHGTCPDMN (Change TCP Domains)...you can add your DNS servers and even domain information.

Answer 3

ping (ip address)
