Mainframe TCP/IP Commands
Duration
5 hours
Overview
This course provides the learner with a basic understanding of IBM mainframe networks with z/OS. It introduces traditional SNA subarea, SNA APPN networks and mainframe TCP/IP networks, including some of the network equipment associated with each. Current topics such as the future of SNA, and concepts of using TCPIP to transport SNA traffic are also covered. Finally, the learner is introduced to basic VTAM and TCP/IP commands needed to use, control and investigate mainframe networks.
Audience
This course is oriented to Systems Programmers and Operators. However anyone needing to understand IBM Mainframe networks will benefit from this course.
Prerequisites
Completion of the "IBM Mainframe Communications Concepts" course and basic knowledge of TCP/IP and the IBM operating system.
Objectives
