Create the virtual Ethernet interface on partition A

To create the virtual Ethernet interface on partition A, complete these steps:

  1. At the command line on partition A, type CFGTCP, and press Enter to see the Configure TCP/IP display.
  2. Select option 1 (Work with TCP/IP Interfaces), and press Enter.
  3. Select option 1 (Add), and press Enter to see the Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC) display.
  4. For the Internet address prompt, type 10.1.1.73.
  5. For the Line description prompt, type VETH0.
  6. For the Subnet mask prompt, type 255.255.255.248.
  7. For the Associated local interface prompt, type 10.1.1.15. This associates the virtual Ethernet interface to the external interface and enables proxy ARP to forward packets between the virtual Ethernet interface 10.1.1.73 and the external interface 10.1.1.15.
  8. Start the interface. On the Work with TCP/IP Interfaces display, select option 9 (Start) by the interface you want to start.
