Aha! This has nothing to do with the AS/400. Rather, you are asking how to acquire/install/activate/configure Enterprise Extender. EE appears to be a suite of products offered by Cisco and IBM that do SNA over IP networks.
I would start here: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245957.html Or here: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/networking/technology.html I also saw some configuration examples on the Cisco web site that appear to cover both the Cisco boxes as well as MF TCP/IP and VTAM. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Hare Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 2:24 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Need Help defining an AS400 with an IP address to the mainframe I think everyone so far is overlooking a possibility: that this new AS/400 is configured to support Enterprise Extender. In that case, the IP address is sufficient to connect to it, as long as you have EE running in your Communication Server. You will also need to make sure that UDP ports 12000-12004 (yes those are five digit numbers) are open in any firewalls between the AS/400 and your box.
