<h1 class="topictitle1">Create the Ethernet line descriptions on any servers other than the
270 and 8xx 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 servers other than 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 ports identified as 268C are the virtual Ethernet resources.
There is one for each virtual Ethernet adapter. Each port identified as 268C
has an associated location code that is created when you create the virtual
Ethernet adapter using the HMC (Step 1).</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Display Resource Detail panel, scroll down to find the
268C resource that is associated to the specific location code created for
this virtual Ethernet.</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
resource, 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>.
If you use the same names for the line descriptions and their associated virtual
Ethernet, such as VETH0, 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>
