That's because you didn't include PORTTYPE TRUNK on the GRANT. If you do that, you can use vconfig on Linux to let it do the tagging (eeewwww!) Alternatively, you can use a PORTBASED VSWITCH and assign a VLAN to a virtual NIC, so that Linux can remain VLAN unaware. In this mode, you: a) Add the PORTBASED option to DEFINE VSWITCH b) Use the SET VSWITCH PORTNUMBER command to assign guests to a port number. c) Use the SET VSWITCH VLANID command to assign a port number to a VLAN d) Remove the VSWITCH name from the NICDEF in the directory e) Add COMMAND COUPLE to the directory to connect a vdev to a port. Folks at SHARE in San Jose this week can see my presentation on this Wednesday, along with a preview of the PORTBASED/USERBASED VSWITCH unification and simplification that will be coming soon to a z/VM system near you.
