RE: Virtual Ethernet between IBM i LPARs

Buck,

If your guest LPAR doesn't have an Ethernet adapter, and you opt not to use virtual Ethernet bridge, what other option are you using to give Ethernet to the guest LPAR?

I have a similar config, where the I have a guest LPAR, V7R1.
Guest owns no hardware, everything is virtual.
Only option I was aware of was to use a virtual Ethernet bridge from the host.

Great point! My thoughts were simple, as they tend to be. I don't have a 4-port adapter I can dedicate to the guest LPAR; the TCP/IP traffic will be low; I don't need to pester the infrastructure people for an IP address, a rule in the external routing configuration, a slot in the patch bay...

Haha, I thought I was taking the easy road!
