Your VSWTICH Controller looks a little strange dropping all those packets. I'd recycle it and watch and see what happens.

I have issued the following commands: DEFINE VSWITCH SWITCH1 RDEV 203 CONNECT SET VSWITCH SWITCH1 GRANT SUSESP2 In the SUSESP2 directory entry, I have the following: NICDEF 340 TYPE QDIO DEV 3 LAN SYSTEM SWITCH1 When I bring up the SUSESP2 machine, I see the message that device 340 has been defined. The SUSESP2 machine comes up normally. Here is the output from the Q VSWITCH DET command: q vswitch det VSWITCH SYSTEM SWITCH1 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 1 Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware State: Ready IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 Portname: UNASSIGNED RDEV: 0203 Controller: DTCVSW2 VDEV: 0203 VSWITCH Connection: RX Packets: 205 Discarded: 293 Errors: 0 TX Packets: 0 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 RX Bytes: 106924 TX Bytes: 0 Device: 0203 Unit: 000 Role: DATA Adapter Owner: SUSESP2 NIC: 0340 Name: UNASSIGNED RX Packets: 205 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 TX Packets: 29 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 RX Bytes: 106924 TX Bytes: 2268 Device: 0342 Unit: 002 Role: DATA Options: Broadcast Multicast IPv6 IPv4 VLAN Unicast IP Addresses: 10.35.11.183 MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-01 FE80::200:0:100:1 MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-01 Local Multicast IP Addresses: 224.0.0.1 MAC: 01-00-5E-00-00-01 224.0.1.22 MAC: 01-00-5E-00-01-16 239.255.255.253 MAC: 01-00-5E-7F-FF-FD FF02::1 MAC: 33-33-00-00-00-01 Local FF02::1:FF00:1 MAC: 33-33-FF-00-00-01 Local Ready; T=0.01/0.01 08:09:01 However, I cannot ping the machine SUSESP2. If I take SUSESP2 out of the VSWITCH and use 3 OSA addresses, I can ping the machine SUSESP2. What am I doing wrong ? ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
