Installation guide

ifcfg-ethn
ifcfg-trn
The file should look similar to the following:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# IBM LCS
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:06:29:FB:5F:F1
IPADDR=9.12.20.136
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
NETTYPE=lcs
SUBCHANNELS=0.0.09a0,0.0.09a1
PORTNAME=0
TYPE=Ethernet
Based on the type interface being added, the DEVICE parameter should be one of the fol-
lowing:
DEVICE=ethn
DEVICE=trn
• Activate the device.
Based on the type interface being added, issue an ifup command:
# ifup ethn
# ifup trn
6.2.2. Working With the QETH Device Driver
The QETH network device driver supports IBM System z HiperSockets, OSA-Express Fast Eth-
ernet, Gigabit Ethernet (including 1000Base-T), High Speed Token Ring, and ATM features
(running Ethernet LAN emulation) in QDIO mode.
Based on the type of interface being added, the QETH driver assigns one of three base inter-
face names:
• hsin for HiperSocket devices
• ethn for OSA-Express Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
• trn for Token Ring
The value n is an integer that uniquely identifies the device. n is 0 for the first device of that type,
1 for the second, and so on.
• Load the device driver:
# modprobe qeth
• Create the group device:
# echo read_device_bus_id,write_device_bus_id,data_device_bus_id >
