iSeries IP Networks: Dynamic!

IBM has included numerous scenarios in which problems are 
defined and solutions offered in a detailed step-by-step fashion.
This Redbook also has four useful downloadable utilities:

IP Tool
This utility writes all interactive jobs and their corresponding IP 
address to a physical file.

PortScan
This performs a portscan of the given host name or IP address. The 
original source was found at 
http://www.dsinet.org/tools/network-scanners/port-scanners/ .

TelnetExitProgram
This is an exit program that maps an IP address to a specific device 
name.

EmailMsg
This utility checks for certain messages in a specified message queue 
and sends an e-mail to a specified e-mail address when a monitored 
message is received in the queue.

These utilities, which are still in preliminary form, are available at 
ftp://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG246718/ .
