Two items: I can get the CTC's recoupled no problem.
but: the "ifdown" and "ifup" commands are unknown on my SuSE 2.4.7 system. Where might I find them? also: I agree vlan's would be best. But if you don't have z/VM 4.3 yet, what can you do? We're in the process of installing, but it is unlikely we'll have it in production before February at earliest. (The boss decided it would be good experience for our new junior systems programmer to do 4.3 as his first install and everything is taking twice as long -- or more!) There are ptfs for vlans in 4.2, but those ptfs don't include the code for IP broadcast. Until we get 4.3 up we have to have an interim solution to this problem.
