|
<div><div class="section"><p>To configure new Ethernet line descriptions to support virtual
|
||
|
|
Ethernet, follow these steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li>At the command line on logical partition A, type <samp class="codeph">WRKHDWRSC *CMN</samp>,
|
||
|
|
and press Enter.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>From the Work with Communication Resources display, select option 7 (Display
|
||
|
|
resource detail) next to the appropriate virtual Ethernet port. <p>The Ethernet
|
||
|
|
port identified as 268C is the virtual Ethernet resource. There will be one
|
||
|
|
for each virtual Ethernet that is connected to the logical partition.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>From the Display Resource Detail display, scroll down to find the port
|
||
|
|
address. <p>The port address corresponds to the virtual Ethernet you selected
|
||
|
|
during the configuration of the logical partition.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>From the Work with Communication Resources display, select option 5 (Work
|
||
|
|
with configuration descriptions) next to the appropriate virtual Ethernet
|
||
|
|
port, and press Enter.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>From the Work with Configuration Descriptions display, select option 1
|
||
|
|
(Create), and press Enter to see the Create Line Description Ethernet (CRTLINETH)
|
||
|
|
display. <ol type="a"><li>For the <em>Line description</em> prompt, type <samp class="codeph">VETH0</samp>. The
|
||
|
|
name VETH0, although arbitary, corresponds to the numbered column on the Virtual
|
||
|
|
Ethernet page in which you enabled the logical partitions to communicate.
|
||
|
|
If you use the same names for the line descriptions and their associated virtual
|
||
|
|
Ethernet, you can easily keep track of your virtual Ethernet configurations.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For the <em>Line speed</em> prompt, type <samp class="codeph">1G</samp>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For the <em>Duplex</em> prompt, type <samp class="codeph">*FULL</samp>, and press Enter.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For the <em>Maximum frame size</em> prompt, type <samp class="codeph">8996</samp>,
|
||
|
|
and press Enter. <p>By changing the frame size to 8996, the transfer of data
|
||
|
|
across the virtual Ethernet is improved.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You will see a message stating
|
||
|
|
the line description has been created.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Vary on the line description. Type <samp class="codeph">WRKCFGSTS *LIN</samp> and
|
||
|
|
select option 1 (Vary on) for VETH0.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Repeat steps 1 through 6, but perform the steps from the command lines
|
||
|
|
on logical partitions B, C, and D to create an Ethernet line description for
|
||
|
|
each logical partition. <p>Although the names of your line descriptions are
|
||
|
|
arbitrary, it is helpful to use the same names for all of the line descriptions
|
||
|
|
associated with the virtual Ethernet. In this scenario, all the line descriptions
|
||
|
|
are named VETH0.</p>
