I'm not following you.
If I use another port on the NIC, I still would need to create a new interface and line, which would also include a new IP.

No you do not want to put a bridge on that interface. Use one of the other three on the NIC card. If you put ANY ip addresses on the physical side of the bridge, you will not enjoy the results.
CPU pegged at max, no console interaction, no work no nuttun..... IPL is the only way out at that point. IBM goes out of their way to tell you not to do that. So being inquisitive, I tried it on my test system (that's what
it's for afterall) Yep, just as IBM predicted, bad things.....

Currently, no bridge.
I had a bridge on another LPAR back on my P7, but none currently.
I have the docs that I used to create the bridge.
The problem is, on my host, my main line, ETHAGG01, would have to be varied off to add/change the Bridge identifier.
Bridge identifier . . . . . . . . : *NONE

I had indicated earlier I would use the bridge. In your environment you already have one do you not? So adding the new partition to the bridge is a simple as making sure you create the guest ethernet adapter in the HMC to be on the same VLAN as the other partitions that participate as clients on the bridge network.

Power9.
V7R3.
I hosting i
I'm creating a new client LPAR for testing.
I created one years back on a Power7 client, had to create a an Ethernet bridge on the I host.
Does the Ethernet need to be bridged or are there other options?
Thank You
