Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Command Line Processor

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 DB2 clients for communications. See Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Client Configuration Assistant for more information.

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 wish to change any of the default settings on the server, see the following instructions.

For instructions on entering DB2 commands, see Entering Commands Using the Command Center or Entering Commands Using the Command Line Processor.

Go to the section that describes how to configure communication to access a remote server using the communication protocol of your choice.
