This course is designed to provide the skills for basic implementation and customization of TCP/IP on z/OS.

• Describe IBM's z/OS TCP/IP product offering
• Describe the installation requirements and system customization for the z/OS TCP/IP implementation
• Define network interface attachments that produce connectivity for z/OS TCP/IP communications
• Construct TCP/IP configuration statements for z/OS to allow operation and connectivity to an existing TCP/IP network
• Configure TCP/IP for z/OS for basic communications functions
• Construct TCP/IP configuration statements for z/OS for selected TCP/IP application protocols services

This intermediate course is for the Information Systems communications professional who is planning to install TCP/IP for z/OS and for TCP/IP users who are interested in installing and customizing IBM's TCP/IP product in interoperability environments and main applications.

You should understand:

• basic concepts and architecture of TCP/IP and the TCP/IP protocols.

Prior to enrolling, IBM Employees must follow their Division/Department processes to obtain approval to attend this public training class. Failure to follow Division/Department approval processes may result in the IBM Employee being personally responsible for the class charges.

GBS practitioners that use the EViTA system for requesting external training should use that same process for this course. Go to the EViTA site to start this process:http://w3.ibm.com/services/gbs/evita/BCSVTEnrl.nsf

Once you enroll in a GTP class, you will receive a confirmation letter that should show:

• The current GTP list price
• The 20% discounted price available to IBMers. This is the price you will be invoiced for the class.
