As400 with cisco routers

[maxcrook]

Hi im completely new to cisco routers and need to find out whether they are compatible with As400s ?

Sorry its brief, but so far this is all I know !

They work together, no problem. Configure the addresses in the AS/400 and the cisco router. You should have no problems using this hardware together. I am running 75 remote sites using 1602's talking to 3640 going into AS/400 using TCP/IP over frame

Thanks for getting back to me.Now I know that I need to know whether it will also work with the software we have on the As400 - called ICOMS.

Thanks again - first obstacle removed !

When you state to configure the addresses in the AS400 as well do you mean the cisco Ip address?

Yes, go into the system with security officer permissions. Go into Communications, specifically TCP/IP Administration and enter the routes, for example:
190.123.xxx.0 this is the remote site ip address, the next entry should be your Cisco Router, let's say 190.123.xxx.1, finally you would have your netmask, example 255.255.255.0.
In your Cisco Router you would have your serial interfaces set up for each route. Then in the routing table of the router you would 190.123.xxx.0 255.255.255.0 serial o/1 for example. There should be an entry for every site you are attempting to communicate with, each entry would point to a different serial interface. If you have ten remote sites the routing table would have ten entrys ser 0/1, ser 0/2, etc. What is the specific router that you are using?
