InstNetDev=osa
Enter the type of interface to configure. Possible values are
osa
,
hsi
.
ctc
,
escon
,
and
iucv
. (CTC, ESCON, and IUCV are no longer officially supported).
For the interfaces of type
hsi
and
osa
, specify an appropriate netmask and an
optional broadcast address:
Netmask=255.255.255.0
Broadcast=192.168.255.255
For the interfaces of type
ctc
,
escon
, and
iucv
(CTC, ESCON, and IUCV are
no longer officially supported), enter the IP address of the peer:
Pointopoint=192.168.55.20
OsaInterface=<eth|tr> OsaMedium=<lcs|qdio>
For
osa
network devices, specify the physical medium (
eth
for ethernet or
tr
for token ring) and the host interface (
qdio
or
lcs
).
Layer2=<0|1>
For
osa
QDIO Ethernet devices, specify whether to enable OSI Layer 2 support.
Each of the interfaces requires certain setup options:
• Interfaces
ctc
and
escon
(CTC and ESCON are no longer officially supported):
ReadChannel=0.0.0424
WriteChannel=0.0.0425
ReadChannel
specifies the READ channel to use.
WriteChannel
is the
WRITE channel.
• For the
ctc
interface (no longer officially supported), specify the protocol that
should be used for this interface:
CTCProtocol=<0/1/2>
Valid entries would be:
Compatibility mode, also for non-Linux peers other than OS/390
and z/OS (this is the default mode)
