You mean people actually get paid for this? To be more realistic, I have been able to configure two OSA driven VSWITCHes for separate inside/outside linux servers and to do cross-LPAR communications via a hipersocket, but it is still rather simplistic compared to a raft of point-to-point connections with lots of different subnets.
A basic picture with sample IP addresses on each end of a connection followed by a corresponding configuration file explaining all of the required fields would go a long way to solving these problems. So, I reiterate your (and DB's) recommendation to post a network diagram when asking for help with a configuration problem. /Tom Kern --- Alan Altmark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The VM sysprog is not expected to be an IP guru.
