I am trying to get a 2nd level TCPIP stack to properly talk to a 1st level vswitch. I need to get to this 2nd level stack from the other side of the vswitch. I have a 1st level vswitch connected to an OSA with addresses in the range of 10.10.38.64-10.10.38.95 (gateway = 10.10.38.65). I have the vswitch grants in place to authorize my 2nd level test machine to connect to it and I have a NICDEF statement in the directory entry. The 2nd level machine ipls, its TCPIP server aquires the virtual devices for the NICDEF and starts the stack. At this point the stack will either not communicate with anything or only with systems that are also on the 1st level vswitch. I have tried variations on the GATEWAY statements and this is the set that will allow me to communicate with other vswitch guests but not beyond.
GATEWAY ; Network First Link MTU Subnet Subnet ; Address Hop Name Size Mask Value ; -------- ----------- -------- ----- --------- -------- 10 = OSA1 1492 0.0.0.224 0.0.0.64 DEFAULTNET 10.10.38.65 OSA1 1492 0 ; And I get this message when I bring up the stack or use OBEYFILE with these statements (line number is different in stack initialization).
