Step 5: Creating virtual TCP/IP interfaces

You need to specify the virtual TCP/IP interfaces on both partition A and partition B.

To create the virtual interface on partition A, follow these steps:
  1. On the command line on partition A, type CFGTCP (Configure TCP/IP command), and then press Enter to see the Configure TCP/IP window.
  2. Select Option 1 (Work with TCP/IP Interfaces), and then press Enter.
  3. Select Option 1 (Add), and then press Enter to see the Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC) window.
  4. At the Internet address prompt, type 10.1.1.73.
  5. For the Line description prompt, type the name of your line description, such as VETH0.
  6. At the Subnet mask prompt, type 255.255.255.252.
  7. On the Work with TCP/IP Interfaces window, type 9 (Start) by the interface to start it.
To create the virtual interface on partition B, repeat the above steps on the command line on partition B. In step 4, type 10.1.1.74 for the Internet address prompt.
