Why are you issuing the "DEFINE LAN" command? You don't need it.
Your NICDEF should be connected to VMT1VSW0 not VMT1LN01.
This is why you can't connect anywhere. If you use "DEFINE LAN", you're
just building an internal to z/VM only lan. You don't need this unless
you're doing guest to guest communications.

Subject: Create z/VM Layer 2 VLAN / VSwitch
Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU>
Hi,
i am not a networking expert, but need to build a layer 2 vlan in z/VM
5.4. Linux is Suse SLES 11 SP1.
I was told to use layer 2 for VLAN 485 so i used these commands to create
vswitch / vlan
DEFINE VSWITCH VMT1VSW0 RDEV E606 E706 CONTROLLER * ETHERNET VLAN 485
native 485
DEFINE LAN VMT1LN01 OWNERID SYSTEM TYPE QDIO ETHERNET MAXCONN INFINITE
UNRESTRICTED ACCOUNTING OFF
the Linux guest nic is defined in the directory
NICDEF 9000 TYPE QDIO DEVICES 3 LAN SYSTEM VMT1LN01 MACID E32200
So after defining / starting everything my system looks like this:
q vmlan
VMLAN maintenance level:

i also performed the proper RACF definitions for vlan 0485 (UACC(UPDATE))
+ refresh
nic defined in the linux guest using yast with proper ip address.
but i can not get any ping to work from / to the linux system. i know this
is also related to the routes which are not changed at the moment, but i
should be able to see a ping comming in using tcpdump, or not ?!?
any hint what is wrong in my configuraiton?!?
