I am trying to determine if I can do the following flat network using hipersockets with Vlan support. There is one paragraph in the Connectivity Redbook on "VLAN support for HiperSockets in a Linux environment"
Is this possible: 10.1.1.x host in Real Switch; Real Switch turnk port via OSA to Vswitch in LPAR A with linux host 10.1.1.19; same linux host has a hipersocket on 1.2.3.4 with VLAN enabled connecting to a linux host in LPAR B at 1.2.3.5 with VLAN enabled. Linux host on LPAR A with VLAN enabled configures 10.1.1.29; linux host on LPAR B with VLAN enabled configures 10.1.1.39. So now a packet can journey from 10.1.1.39 to real host 10.1.1.19 over hipersocket over LPARa's OSA?? I know as an alternate I can do this by connecting both using a shared OSA port on LPAR A and LPAR B - but - I need all the justification I can muster for a hipersocket solution - Don't ask - network planner at client site does not want to introduce "new subnets or networks" - vswitching into z/VM LPARS is fine - David ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
