TCP/IP applications, such as TELNET, Simple MailTransfer Protocol (SMTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Routing Information Protocol 1 and 2(RIP), and LPR/LPD (remote print support) remain part of the TCP/IP Utilities along with thePascal-based API. These TCP/IP Utilities are automatically shipped to all customers thatorder OS/400.TCP/IP is fundamental to the network computing paradigm. Much of the new iSeriese-business infrastructure runs exclusively on TCP/IP, including Lotus Domino, Java,WebSphere, Web serving, and IBM Network Stations. Recent TCP/IP enhancements makeiSeries an even more powerful e-business server.Enterprise-class TCP/IP for Real Business NetworksTCP/IP is an extremely popular protocol and is now regarded as the de facto standard forcomputer networking. iSeries servers come with a complete and robust suite of TCP/IPprotocols, servers and services. It is easy to implement full-featured intranets by simplycabling iSeries servers and workstations together and starting the desired services. In mostcases, no additional software or hardware is required.GUI Configuration SupportTCP/IP networking on iSeries is simpler than ever to administer, manage TCP/IP server froma single graphical interface. You can define Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP),Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) servers, and manyothers directly from the Operations Navigator running on a PC client.iSeries TCP/IP configuration can be managed through all new graphical user interfaces whichis now integrated with the iSeries Operations Navigator. Included is a graphical wizard thatprovides simplified step-by-step guidance for configuring TCP/IP. A service to centrallyadminister all workstation configuration data for IP networks is included with OS/400. Thisservice is based on the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). iSeries server networkadministration has never been easier.The TCP/IP protocol stack on the iSeries is tuned for robust, secure, and scalable TCP/IPservices and servers. The results in significant improvements in capacity for TCP/IP users.TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities – New with V5R1TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities software enhancements in V5R1 include:• Domain Name System (DNS): Now reaches industry level BIND 8.2 and dynamicupdate capabilities (DDNS). Combined with enhancements made to Dynamic Host
