Ok - Before I show the TCPIP PROFILE -- here is a line from the TCPIP directory entry:
NICDEF A000 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSW1 Our system has a VSWITCH called VSW1 .. TCPIP will use address A000 to connect to it. In PROFILE TCPIP: DEVICE VMVSW OSD A000 PORTNAME VMVSW PORTNUMBER 0 AUTOR LINK VMVSWD QDIOETHERNET VMVSW MTU 1492 . . HOME 10.68.0.6 255.255.255.0 VMVSW . . START VMVSW Really - just exactly like an OSA (it's a virtualized OSA) -- the only difference is where your device comes from --- a virtual NIC attached to a VSWITCH, instead of a dedicated OSA. You can make the switch by simply changing the directory entry for TCPIP.. (just make sure TCPIP has been granted access to the vswitch!) Use the same address as you used for your OSA and use it on the NICDEF statement. Bring TCPIP down and up again - done.
