Alan, Thanks for your help!
But what will happen if the zLinux use dedicated OSA devices directly in stead of vswitch? It still need layer2 support? As my understanding, it should be different case, right?

I just checked the OSA-Express Customer Guide and Reference and you are correct, z900 is too old: Beginning with the May 2006 version of Licensed Internal Code on z890, z990 and z9 systems only, this restriction has been lifted. With this version of Licensed Internal Code, a layer 2 host can directly communicate with a layer 3 host sharing the same OSA-Express port. Hardware requirements - z890 or z990 and above only - OSA-Express with Licensed Internal Code level October 2004 or higher - OSA-Express2, all levels - OSA-Express3, all levels - OSD only Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott ___________________________________________________________ 好玩贺卡等你发，邮箱贺卡全新上线！ http://card.mail.cn.yahoo.com/
