To allow traffic between your virtual Ethernet
network and the external network, you need to create several TCP/IP
interfaces for your system.
To create the TCP/IP interfaces, complete these steps:
- Create an IBM® i TCP/IP
interface on partition A. To create the interface, follow these steps:
- On the command line on partition A, type CFGTCP (Configure
TCP/IP command), and then press Enter to see the Configure TCP/IP
window.
- Select Option 1 (Work with TCP/IP Interfaces), and then
press Enter.
- Select Option 1 (Add), and then press Enter to see the
Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC) window.
- At the Internet address prompt, type 10.1.1.2.
- At the Line description prompt, type the name
of your line description, such as ETHLINE.
- At the Subnet mask prompt, type 255.255.255.0.
- Start the interface. On the Work with TCP/IP Interfaces
window, select Option 9 (Start) by the interface.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 to create and start the TCP/IP interfaces
on partition A and partition B.
These interfaces are
used for the virtual Ethernet. Use IP addresses 10.1.10.1
and 10.1.10.2
for
these interfaces and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
