the guest lan is created defining it to vm, then i must define the nics, and couple them to the linux clients, and then configure it just like if the guest lan would be the hub or switch, and the nics are standard ehternet cards right?
what speed can the nic reach? and, what about firewall inside the z800, its a good idea to keep that load inside vm or its best to keep it in another server outside the z? thanks On Mon, 10 Mar 2003, David Boyes wrote: > The guest LAN vs hipersockets decision also should be based on whether > you need media-level broadcast support or not.
