Hi Lee - Your guests can be on different VLANs on Layer 3. Perhaps there is another reason driving the Layer 2 decision? David Kreuter
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: OSI Layer 2/3 mismatch? From: Lee Stewart <[email protected]> Date: Tue, February 28, 2012 7:13 pm To: [email protected] Hi all.... I must be missing something... Customer has a VM 6.1 system (RSU 1101 + z114 PTFs) and SLES11 SP1 guests. Initially the guest was on a Layer3 Vswitch - no problem. They needed to change to go to Layer2 so they could have guests on different VLANs - but still have the Linuxes be Layer3. We: - Updated the IP info on the Llnuxes and shut them down and logged off. - Deleted (DETach) the old Layer3 Vswitch. - Networking changed the real switch port to trunk mode - We changed the TCPIP stack to Layer2 and it's VLAN - all ok.. - We redefined the Vswitch as: DEFINE VSWITCH VSWITCH2 RDEV E203 ETH VLAN 999 NAT 999 (Default PORTTYPE ACCESS) - Regranted the user as: SET VSWITCH VSWITCH2 GRANT LXTECH VLAN 301 All looks good in the queries.... But when we boot the Linux, we can see qeth try to register layer3, but we get: The qeth device is not configured for the OSI layer required by z/VM We've double checked our definitions and even bounced the system. Have I missed something? Am I having a brain cloud?
