Adam, You don't specify layer 2 or 3 on the NICDEF. You specify it on your DEFINE LAN or DEFINE VSWITCH statement.

This says you tried to attach a Layer 3 NIC to a Layer 2 LAN (or vice-versa) Indeed. I defined it to TCPIP with DIRM NICDEF.... and I don't see any way to specify whether I mean Layer 2 or Layer 3. I just defined it as QDIO. I think my cough syrup is failing me. How do I tell DIRMAINT, "no, really, QDIO *ETHERNET*" ? Adam
