Step 4: Create the interfaces

To create the TCP/IP interfaces, complete these steps:

Create an i5/OS™ TCP/IP interface on partition A. To create the interface, follow these steps:
1. On the command line on partition A, type CFGTCP, and then press Enter to see the Configure TCP/IP panel.
2. Select option 1 (Work with TCP/IP Interfaces), and then press Enter.
3. Select option 1 (Add), and then press Enter to see the Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC) panel.
4. At the Internet address prompt, type '10.1.1.2'.
5. At the Line description prompt, type the name of your line description, such as ETHLINE.
6. At the Subnet mask prompt, type '255.255.255.0'.
Start the interface. On the Work with TCP/IP Interfaces panel, select option 9 (Start) by the interface.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to create and start the TCP/IP interfaces on partition A and partition B.
These interfaces are used for the virtual Ethernet. Use IP addresses 10.1.10.1 and 10.1.10.2 for these interfaces and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
