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?
