This section describes how to configure a client to communicate with a server using the command line processor (CLP).
If you plan to use an OS/2 or Windows 32-bit client to communicate with a server, the Client Configuration Assistant (CCA) makes it easy to automate configuration and administration tasks. If you have installed the CCA, it is recommended that you use this tool to configure your OS/2 or Windows 32-bit client for communications. For more information see Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Client Configuration Assistant.
To configure a client to communicate with a server, the remote server must be configured to accept in-bound requests for the communications protocols that you want to use. By default, the installation program automatically detects and configures most protocols running on your server.
If you have added a new protocol to your network, or want to change any of the default settings on the server, refer to the Installation and Configuration Supplement.
For instructions on entering DB2 commands, see Entering Commands Using the Command Center or Entering Commands Using the Command Line Processor.
