|
||
|
|
<div><p>A logical partition can use virtual Ethernet to establish multiple
|
||
|
|
high speed inter-partition connections.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Logical partition software allows you to configure up to 16 different virtual
|
||
|
|
local area networks. Virtual Ethernet provides the same function as using
|
||
|
|
a 1 Gigabyte (GB) Ethernet adapter. i5/OS<sup>®</sup> and Linux partitions
|
||
|
|
can communicate with each other using TCP/IP over the virtual Ethernet communication
|
||
|
|
ports.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The enablement and setup of <a href="../rzait/rzaitopticonnect.htm">virtual Ethernet</a> requires a restart of the Linux partition,
|
||
|
|
but does not require any special hardware or software. Once a specific virtual
|
||
|
|
Ethernet is enabled for a logical partition, a network device vethXX is created
|
||
|
|
in the logical partition. The user can then set up TCP/IP configuration appropriately
|
||
|
|
to start communicating with another partition. Virtual Ethernet provides the
|
||
|
|
capability to provide multiple communication paths between applications that
|
||
|
|
are run in each of the partitions.</p>
