[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] IBM 5494 Connection
David, Again, if it's set up to bridge IP traffic, and this requires support on the AS/400 side as well, it will be a bridge, not a router. Bridges are transparent from an IP perspective, so the next node "over" with an IP address will probably be the AS/400, or perhaps a node on a LAN attached to the AS/400 (probably the first). Bridges do not get IP addresses (except for management, in some cases). Are you, in fact, trying to use the link back to the AS/400 site to carry IP (eg. the AS/400 site is acting as your ISP), or are you trying to provide access to the 5494 via TCP/IP (eg. via TN5250)? I'm not sure the latter is possible. -Robert At 08:35 AM 5/10/01 -0400, [email protected] wrote: >Thanks, >And yes it is being used as a bridge or gateway, but not using IP traffic. >It is only passing SNA traffic.
