I've seen this mentioned before but I fail to understand the meaning. By layer 
three are you saying do not use VSWITCH?

It is my understanding that SLES9 layer 2 support is broken.  There is a
developerWorks patch that was picked up for SLES8, but hasn't been picked
up for SLES9 (that is, hasn't been put in a service pack).  I don't know
which patch fixed the problem.

I have heard from others that Novelle knows about the problem.  If you
have a support contract, ask them for the fix.  Otherwise, try layer 3.
