TCP/IP software provides a set of configurable parameters with
which you can modify operational characteristics of the Internet Protocol (IP).
You can select its routing protocol and configure it to run over a LAN. In
NetWare
®
6, configuration over WAN connections is not supported.
To configure IP, you enable the protocol, set its parameters, and bind it to a
network interface. You configure all IP parameters from the Internetworking
Configuration utility (INETCFG).
To understand what decisions must be taken before you configure TCP/IP
beyond its most basic configuration, refer to Appendix A, “Planning,” on page
103.
NOTE: The configuration you specify with INETCFG does not take effect
automatically. To activate the configuration, save your changes and press Esc until
you see the Internetworking Configuration menu. You can then select Reinitialize
System > Yes to activate your changes.
