So Allen If I understand and my VM system is in a 10.38.135.0 network and I
want to connect several Linux guests to a VSWITCH controlled by TCPIP then I
would need to make all the Linux user in the 10.38.135.0 network
|---------|
| Network |
| Switch |
|---------|
|
|
|
|
|---------|
| z/VM | 10.38.135.41
| TCPIP |
|---------|
|
|
|
| VSWITCH LAN SEGMENT (10.38.135.0)
\___________________________________________________________________________
_____________
| |
| |
| |
|---------| |---------|
| Linux1 | | Linux2 |
| Server | | Server |
|---------| |---------|
10.38.135.42 10.38.135.43
If I want a whole 10.38.128.0 network for my Switched network I could do
that, but I would need to set the VSWITCH Controller to be the primary
router for those OSA devices it controls.

There's nothing special about setting up Linux on a VSWITCH except for IP
address selection; make sure the IP addresses are in the same subnet as the
other hosts on the LAN segment the OSA is connected to. As a bonus, if none
of the guests using the VSWITCH are doing routing, then the OSA connection
can be defined as NONROUTER (yipee!!!).
This is as opposed to a Guest LAN which is *routed*, not *switched*, so the
IP addresses on a Guest LAN must be in a *different* subnet and the OSA
adapter connection to the virtual router must be defined as PRIROUTER.
