RE: Ethernet vary off/on - no twinax

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Generally that is what the system console is for.  How do you manage
your Intel server when the IP connection is failed?  The fact that you
have two other options on the iSeries is great, Twinax and IXS.  I do
not know if you can reset your Ethernet adapter and restart TCP/IP from
ASM.

Subject: Ethernet vary off/on - no twinax

A post I just read popped a question into my brain.

If there's a problem with the one and only ethernet line on my i5 520 to
where I need to do a vary off/on to correct, I can now do that in one of
2 (maybe 3) ways:

1) Go to the lone remaining twinax display I have and perform it there
2) Use my ops console direct connect and do it there
3) Sign on to my IXS, open a 5250 session, and do it there (I think)

But if my next system has no twinax, no IXS, no HMC, and who knows what
for a console <g>, how would I do that?

Is this where the ASM port comes in?
