What are best practices for configuring VLANs to IBM I LPARs running under VIOS? Prior to v7r2, we would configure the VLAN on the virtual ethernet adapter on the LPAR profile. Now that v7r2/v7r3 support VLAN tagging at the OS, which is preferred, on the Profile or in the OS?
Say I need to support 5 interfaces each on different VLANs. Should I define 5 virtual ethernet adapters on the Profile and then have ETHLIN01-05 or should I define 1 virtual ethernet adapter on the Profile and add the VLAN tag to the TCP/IP Interface and share ETHLIN01 between all 5? I would think the second option sounds like a cleaner configuration, but networking has never been my strongest area.
