As of z/VM 5.2, you can get rid of your own VSWITCH controllers entirely, using the DTCVSW1 and DTCVSW2 that we provide. The IBM DTCPARMS file already has the needed definitions and the profiles are already there. Just remember to update AUTOLOG1. (The IBM-supplied AUTOLOG1 PROFILE EXEC autologs these controllers.) It is a Bad Idea to have any TCPIP stack acting as a controller. Only a dedicated controller should have VSWITCH CONTROLLER ON in PROFILE TCPIP. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
