Does your VM TRSOURCE show the packets coming out of the Linux guest? If not they have no chance of getting out through the OSA.
We do all sorts of VLANs here with no issues. In case it helps, here is all the parts of a working setup: In SYSTEM CONFIG: DEFINE VSWITCH SWITCH02 RDEV 0500 F800 VLAN 1 In AUTOLOG1's PROFILE EXEC: 'SET VSWITCH SWITCH02 GRANT linux_userid1 VLAN 70' 'SET VSWITCH SWITCH02 GRANT linux_userid2 VLAN 2' 'SET VSWITCH SWITCH02 GRANT linux_userid3 VLAN 7' In USER DIRECT for various linux guests: NICDEF 0804 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM SWITCH02 Each linux guest is setup as VLAN unaware, using an IP address in the range 192.168.x.x, and the Linux routing table is: DEFAULT 192.168.0.1 - - which is the IP address of the external switch. The network switch is configured to treat the link to the OSA a TRUNK. My VM TCPIP stack is also connected to the vswitch and can ping the Linux guests. No stack connected to the vswitch is setup as a router. Brian Nielsen On Wed, 4 Jun 2008 12:22:47 -0600, Richard Clapper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Yes to both questions.
