<h1 class="topictitle1">Create the Ethernet line descriptions</h1>
<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>
