We were considering setting up a VLAN aware VSWITCH on zVM 5.2. The LAN Administrator is concerned with the possibility of looping scenarios due to parameters I am not familiar with. For example he is asking about what "scanning tree parameters" are being set, encapsulation protocol, dot.q, neg/nonneg and VTP ? It doesn't look like I can set any of these parameters on zVM. So how does this working when using a TRUNK method and is this discussed in any manual that I can share with the administrator ?
Also, I don't know if this makes any difference, the current plan is to use 2 osa's, vlan aware, and having 2 vswitches.
