Hello Brian, We do not have NICDEF in the directory. If SPECIAL would do the same then we could have an explaination but I doubt if a SPECIAL would act in the
same way as the NICDEF. I realize that I left something out. We have a running linuxmachine. We DETACHED the F00 NIC because we would change it to connect to the vswitch instead of to the guest LAN. After that the DEFINE connected automaticall y to the guest LAN instead of let us specify the COUPLE command. The idea is to dynamically change the linux machine and when the action i s ready and accepted we could change the directory to relect the new situation. I'm not too happy changing the directory before I know the change will be successfull. Regards, Berry.
