------- Comment From [email protected] 2016-02-05 11:40 EDT------- We have to distinguish between the different device types supported by the qeth driver: 1. OSA-cards: the qeth default is layer2. The OSA-card is able to convert between layer2 and layer3. Thus no lack of connectivity here. Nevertheless a customer may want to select layer3, especially if he wants to make use of TCP Segmentation Offload. 2. HiperSockets: the qeth default is layer3 to allow smooth communication with zOS. HiperSockets LANs are either layer2 or layer3; there is no connectivity between a layer2 participant and a layer3 participant. 3.virtual NICs attached to a z/VM VSWITCH or GuestLAN when Linux is running as a z/VM guest: Here the Linux definition has to follow the layer definition of the VSWITCH or GuestLAN in z/VM, otherwise connectivity is broken. Up to now there is no automatic detection of the layer defined in z/VM.
