<h3 id="rzahqipcpi">Point to point virtual Ethernet IP address conflicts</h3>
<p>IBM iSeries Integrated Server Support uses IP addresses in the range of
192.168.x.y for the integrated server's point to point Ethernet network. By
default, the actual addresses are selected by the i5/OS Install Windows server
(INSWNTSVR) command. For details and examples, see <a href="rzahqipdpd.htm#rzahqipdpd">Assign point to point virtual Ethernet IP addresses</a> .
Depending on your network, there might be conflicts with addresses that are
already in use. To avoid potential conflicts you can use the VRTPTPPORT parameter
for an Integrated xSeries&reg; Server or the Integrated xSeries Adapter
attached xSeries server.</p>
<p>If a conflict requires you to change the addresses, you must ensure that
the point to point virtual Ethernet occupies its own subnet on i5/OS. The
subnet mask that is used is 255.255.255.0. To ensure that the point to point
virtual Ethernet is on its own subnet, use IP addresses of the form a.b.x.y,
where a.b.x is the same value for both sides of the point to point virtual
Ethernet. Also verify that the value of a.b.x is unique on your network.</p>
<p>To change the point to point virtual Ethernet addresses because of a conflict,
take the following action.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>At the i5/OS console, enter the command <tt>DSPNWSD
NWSD(name) OPTION (*PORTS)</tt>. Make a note of the <tt>Attached</tt> line for the port number <tt>*VRTETHPTP</tt>, which is also known as the line description.</li>
<li>Use the Configure TCP (CFGTCP) command and option 1 to display the TCP
interfaces. Make a note of the IP address and the subnet mask associated
with the line description that you found in step 1.</li></ol>
<dl>
<dt class="bold"><span class="bold">Note:</span></dt>
<dd>An IP address entered at the Windows console for the point to point
virtual Ethernet overrides the values that are set in the NWSD for the TCPPRTCFG
parameter <tt>*VRTETHPTP</tt>.
</dd>
</dl>
<ol type="1">
<li>Click on <span class="bold">Start</span>&mdash;><span class="bold">Settings</span>&ndash;><span class="bold">Control Panel</span>, then <span class="bold">Network
and Dial-up Connections</span>.</li>
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Right-click the correct <span class="bold">Local Area Connection</span> for the point to point virtual Ethernet and select <span class="bold">Properties</span> from the menu.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
<li>Select <span class="bold">TCP/IP Protocol</span> from the list of installed
protocols and press the <span class="bold">Properties</span> button to display
the TCP/IP properties.</li>
<li>Change the IP address for the new value that you have selected.</li>
<li>Click <span class="bold">OK</span>, then <span class="bold">Close</span> to close
the application.</li>
<li>Shut down the integrated Windows server without doing a restart.</li>
<li>On i5/OS, vary off the NWSD.</li>
<li>Use the Remove TCP/IP interface (RMVTCPIFC) command with the IP address
you recorded in step 2.</li>
<li>Use the Add TCP/IP interface (ADDTCPIFC) command to add the new interface.
Use the IP address that you selected for the i5/OS side of the point to point
virtual Ethernet. You also need to enter the subnet mask and line description
that you recorded in steps 1 and 2.</li>
<li>On the i5/OS command line, type <tt>CHGNWSD NWSD(name)</tt>, and press F4.
<ol type="a">
<li>Page down to the section labeled <tt>TCP/IP port configuration</tt>.</li>
<li>Change the IP address in the <tt>Internet address</tt> field
for the port <tt>*VRTETHPTP</tt> to the value that you
used in step 3. Press Enter for the change to take effect.</li>
<li>Vary on the NWSD.</li></ol>
<dl>
<dt class="bold"><span class="bold">Note:</span></dt>
<dd><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If you are installing multiple servers, to avoid further
conflicts, assign point to point virtual Ethernet IP addresses (see <a href="rzahqipdpd.htm#rzahqipdpd">Assign point to point virtual Ethernet IP addresses</a>) instead of letting the INSWNTSVR command generate them.
The <tt>Virtual PTP Ethernet port</tt> parameter allows
you to enter IP addresses that you know to be unique on your system.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" />
