not sure if this got sent, so at the risk of a resend: What version of zvm are you running? I do not see the network mask output on these commands on my vswitches on zvm520 or zvm530. Maybe IBM got rid of these messages, come to think of it this may have been discussed a while back on this list. David

In the Q NIC output, I have this: CONNECTION NAME: z/VM0000 STATE: Session Established DEVICE: 0F00 UNIT: 000 ROLE: CTL-READ DEVICE: 0F01 UNIT: 001 ROLE: CTL-WRITE DEVICE: 0F02 UNIT: 002 ROLE: DATA UNICAST IP ADDRESSES: 10.0.0.7 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.15.2 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.20.100 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.50.12 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.51.22 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.88.7 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.90.2 Mask: 255.0.0.0 And again in the Q VSWITCH this: ADAPTER OWNER: TCPIP NIC: 0F00 NAME: VSWNIC1 DEVICE: 0F02 UNIT: 002 ROLE: DATA UNICAST IP ADDRESSES: 10.0.0.7 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.15.2 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.20.100 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.50.12 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.51.22 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.88.7 Mask: 255.0.0.0 10.1.90.2 Mask: 255.0.0.0 All of which implies to me that TCPIP is trying to use a class "A" mask of 255.0.0.0 . Why should that be, when the profile definitions for the link are class "B"? ; LINK THROUGH QDIO NIC F00 TO VSWITCH1 - TO MAIN 10.0.0.0/16 LAN DEVICE NIC-F00 OSD F00 PORTNAME VSWNIC1 ; F00-F02 LINK LAN10 QDIOETHERNET NIC-F00 GATEWAY 10 = LAN10 1500 0.255.0.0 0 DEFAULTNET 10.0.0.6 LAN10 1500 0 Is this what is preventing my vswitch from working correctly? And if so, what must I do to fix it? Shimon -- ********************************************************************** ** Shimon Lebowitz mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] VM System Programmer .
