OK,
I'm at my wits end.......
The water below looks cool and refreshing.....
We just purchased SLES7 so that we could get to the 2.4.7 kernel so that we
could get to guest lans on VM.
Basically what we want is a whole subnet behind VM with VM acting as
router.
Production LAN
10.100.0.0 / 255.255.0.0
VM Production IP Addr
10.100.1.2 / 255.255.0.0
Guest Lan under VM
10.105.1.0 / 255.255.255.0
VM Guest Lan IP Addr
10.105.1.254 / 255.255.255.0
First Linux Server (linux0) on the Guest Lan
10.105.1.250 / 255.255.255.0
Second Linux Server (linux1) on the Guest Lan
10.105.1.1 / 255.255.255.0
The VM configuration seems to be happy. We tested this by bringing up a
second TCPIP stack under VM and putting that new stack on the guest lan and
the two of them happily were talking to each other we could telnet, ping,
etc.
>From either Linux instance it can ping its own interface but no-one else on
the 10.105.1.0 network.
So from linux0
ping 10.105.1.250 - works
ping 10.105.1.254 - fails
ping 10.105.1.1 - fails
>From linux1
ping 10.105.1.1 - works
ping 10.105.1.254 - fails
ping 10.105.1.250 - fails
ifconfig for hsi0 shows:
hsi0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:10.105.1.250 Mask:255.255.255.0

Note that the HW Address is all 00. This seems wrong to me but since I
can't get it to work who knows....
We are manually configuring the device in chandev.
Our chandev.conf:
noauto
ctc0,0xc000,0xc001,0,0
qeth0,0x0500,0x0501,0x0502,4096
add_parms,0x10,0x0500,0x0502,portname:VLAN1
(We tried hsi0 instead of qeth0 and get unknown verb or something similar).
A Q NIC DETAILS from linux0 shows:
CP Q NIC DETAILS
Adapter 0500 Type: HIPER Name: VLAN1 Devices: 3
Port 0 MAC: 00-04-AC-00-00-11 LAN: SYSTEM VLAN1 MFS: 16384
Connection Name: HALLOLE State: Session Established
Device: 0500 Unit: 000 Role: CTL-READ
Device: 0501 Unit: 001 Role: CTL-WRITE
Device: 0502 Unit: 002 Role: DATA
Unicast IP Addresses:
10.105.1.250
Note that I DO have a mac address and the 0500-0502 devices are indeed
connected.
(For folks who have been helping offline the NIC Address changed from 0510
to 0500 on a SWAG)
A Q LAN DETAILS from linux0 shows: (At the time this was taken linux1 was
down).
CP Q LAN DETAILS
LAN SYSTEM VLAN1 Type: HIPERS Active: 2 MAXCONN: INFINITE
PERSISTENT UNRESTRICTED MFS: 16384
Adapter Owner: LINUX0 NIC: 0500 Name: VLAN1
10.105.1.250
Adapter Owner: TCPIP NIC: 0510 Name: VLAN1
10.105.1.254
It appears to me anyway that both linux0 and tcpip are properly into the
guest lan they just wont talk to each other. Which to me points to a linux
config error but I can't figure it out.
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated we really need to get this working
ASAP.
Please do not hesitate to ask for any config files etc.
Thanks in advance.
Jeremy Warren.
