Well, back to the "level 3 guy".
He's not going to be able to help.
The z/VM TCPIP config file looks like nothing else in the universe
except the z/OS TCPIP config.
What you're looking for is how to do supernetting, and it's in the
docs, but I didn't find it too clear.
Alan Altmark is the only person on the planet, AFAIK, who really
understands how this file works.
What's going on in THAT statement is that the netmask 255.255.252.0
doesn't start at 192.168.193.0.
It MIGHT work, if you've got variable subnetting turned on, if you
make that 192.168.192. in the first field. Your mask is then
255.255.252.0, and your subnet value is 0.0.192.0. I think. Not at
all sure of that.
Or, since it's a class C, multiple statements of the form
192.168.193 = QDIO0 1500 0 0.0.193.0
Should do it. Yes, in that case the appropriate mask is "0" because
the address is inherently a class C, so 255.255.255. is presumed.
And then the subnet value is the network number. Um, I think. This
is one confusing config file, isn't it?
