Hello list,
Now that I am back from SHARE, I need to ask help from you all on the
list.
I had the Novell SUSE 10 starter system (NOVSTART) up and running using
a layer 3 VSWITCH and it worked. Our networking team wants us to run the
VSWITCH as layer 2 with VLAN aware Linux guests, so I am trying to test
that.
I have the VSWITCH set up as follows:
DEFINE VSWITCH VSWITCH1 RDEV 07D4 0794 ETH VLAN 998 PORTT TRUNK NATIVE
999
MODIFY VSWITCH VSWITCH1 GRANT NOVSTART
I have a USER DIRECT statement for the starter system with:
NICDEF 0340 TYPE QDIO DEVICE 3 LAN SYSTEM VSWITCH1
In the network parameters that get passed into the starter system, I
have changed the LAYER2 parameter from N to Y.
I get an IDX TERMINATE with cause code 0xf6, which I have read some of
the archives that said that was a layer2/layer3 mismatch error.
I am not seeing it.
ifconfig only shows the loopback defined with no network connection.
A Q NIC from the NOVSTART user after I shutdown the Linux shows:
Adapter 0340.P00 Type: QDIO Name: UNASSIGNED Devices:3
MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-02 VSWITCH: SYSTEM VSWITCH1
A Q VSWITCH DETAILS:
: (not including the first part - the only part I am not
sure of is GVRP is enabled - the rest looks as I would expect)
:
Adapter connections:
Adapter Owner: NOVSTART NIC: 0340.P00 Name: UNASSIGNED
Porttype: Trunk
I don't really know Linux so I don't know what to look at in Linux file
system. I could struggle through vi to manually change something if I
have to.
My understanding is that I do not need to have IP addresses associated
with the OSA ports for the VSWITCH when defined ETHERNET.
Anyone have any ideas that can get me going? Am I missing some
definition somewhere?
