Hello,
I later added PORTTYPE TRUNK , unaware of "vconfig". Thanks very much.
Thanks

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.
