<h1 class="topictitle1">Create the Ethernet line descriptions on the 270 and 8<em>xx</em> model
servers</h1>
<div><p>Creating an Ethernet line description is the first
step in configuration for the server to use virtual Ethernet. You can use
the following steps to configure the 270 and 8<em>xx</em> model servers.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>To configure new Ethernet line descriptions to support virtual
Ethernet, follow these steps:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>On the command line on partition A, type <kbd class="userinput">WRKHDWRSC *CMN</kbd>,
and then press Enter.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Work with Communication Resources panel, select option
7 (Display resource detail) next to the appropriate virtual Ethernet port.</span> <p>The Ethernet port identified as 268C is the virtual Ethernet resource.
There is one port for each virtual Ethernet that is connected to the logical
partition.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Display Resource Detail panel, scroll down to find the
port address. The port address corresponds to the virtual Ethernet you selected
during the configuration of the logical partition.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Work with Communication Resources panel, select option
5 (Work with configuration descriptions) next to the appropriate virtual Ethernet
port, and then press Enter.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Work with Configuration Descriptions panel, select option
1 (Create), and then press Enter to see the Create Line Description Ethernet
(CRTLINETH) panel.</span><ol type="a"><li class="substepexpand"><span>At the <em>Line description</em> prompt, type <kbd class="userinput">VETH0</kbd>.
The name VETH0, although arbitrary, corresponds to the numbered column on
the Virtual Ethernet page in which you <a href="rzai2arpenableveth.htm#arpenableveth">enabled</a> 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.</span></li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>At the <em>Line speed</em> prompt, type <kbd class="userinput">1G</kbd>.</span></li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>At the <em>Duplex</em> prompt, type <kbd class="userinput">*FULL</kbd>,
and then press Enter.</span></li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>At the <em>Maximum frame size</em> prompt, type <kbd class="userinput">8996</kbd>,
and then press Enter. By changing the frame size to 8996, the transfer of
data across the virtual Ethernet is improved.</span> <p>You will see a
message stating the line description has been created.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Vary on the line description. Type <kbd class="userinput">WRKCFGSTS *LIN</kbd>,
and then select option 1 (Vary on) for VETH0.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Repeat steps 1 through 6, but perform the steps from the command
line on partition B to create an Ethernet line description for partition B.</span> <p>Although the names of the 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>
