IBM ZVM - FOR LINUX V6 RELEASE 1, Getting Started

Chapter 5. Configuring TCP/IP
In this topic, you configure TCP/IP, if you have not already done so, and configure
TCP/IP to start automatically whenever z/VM is initialized.
For an overview on configuring TCP/IP for Linux, see “TCP/IP networking
options for Linux” on page 30.
Setting up the production TCP/IP
During z/VM installation, you had the option to set up a static connection to the
TCP/IP network through the IPWIZARD. Such a configuration is suitable for
installations that employ only static (as opposed to dynamic) network routes. If
you want a more comprehensive TCP/IP network, you need to follow the
instructions in
z/VM: TCP/IP Planning and Customization , SC24-6238.
Table 5 outlines the tasks you must do:
Table 5. Task roadmap for the production TCP/IP
Subtask Associated instructions (see . . . )
Setting up your production TCP/IP If you set up a static connection during z/VM
installation and are satisfied with this
configuration, this task is optional.
If you want a more comprehensive TCP/IP
network, you need to follow the instructions in
z/VM: TCP/IP Planning and Customization ,
SC24-6238.
Setting up TCP/IP to be automatically
started “Steps for automatically starting TCP/IP”
Steps for automatically starting TCP/IP
This procedure ensures the TCPIP virtual machine is always started when you IPL
z/VM. Except for a few system user IDs, the AUTOLOG1 virtual machine
automatically starts virtual machines at IPL time through its PROFILE EXEC. By
placing an additional XAUTOLOG command for TCPIP in AUTOLOG1’s PROFILE
EXEC, that virtual machine is automatically logged on when you IPL z/VM.
Before you begin: You need to log on as MAINT.
Perform these steps to ensure TCP/IP is started at IPL time:
