Ending TCP is not a good idea these days-- your system console is most
likely running via TCP (or do you still have Twinax consoles), and
ending TCP may lock yourself out of the system!

While the LAN console or the HMC connects via TCP/IP to the system,
neither of them depend on the TCP/IP stack on IBM i OS being active -
the HMC connects through the FSP (which is always online, runs Linux
and has it's own TCP/IP stack) and the LAN console connects through a
TCP/IP stack internal to the LIC, independent of IBM i OS - IBM calls
this the "SST Adapter".
