You must supply the information in the order shown [in the book]. Remember that in z/VM 5.2, the local interface subnet is identified on the HOME statement, not GATEWAY. Likewise, the MTU of a local interface is specified on the LINK, not GATEWAY. The leaves only your default route and anything else the stack needs to know that goes in GATEWAY. Examples are in my VM TCP/IP Routing (Part 2) presentation, including the old and new syntax (as of z/VM 5.2, though you can continue to use the old syntax). http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/altmarka/V23.pdf Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
