Setting the LHEA to promiscuous mode
Setting the LHEA to promiscuous mode
To use a Shared Ethernet Adapter with
a Host Ethernet Adapter (or
Integrated Virtual Ethernet), you must set the Logical Host Ethernet Adapter
(LHEA) to promiscuous mode.
Before you start, use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to determine the physical
port of the Host Ethernet Adapter that
is associated with the Logical Host Ethernet port. Determine this information
for the Logical Host Ethernet port that is the real adapter of the Shared Ethernet Adapter on the Virtual I/O Server.
You can find this information in the partition properties of the Virtual I/O Server, and the managed system
properties of the server on which the Virtual I/O Server is
located.
To set the Logical Host Ethernet port (that is the real adapter of
the Shared Ethernet Adapter) to
promiscuous mode, complete the following steps using the HMC:
- In the navigation area, expand Systems Management and click Servers.
- In the contents area, select the server on which the Virtual I/O Server logical partition is located.
- Click Tasks and select . The HEAs page is shown.
- Select the physical location code of the Host Ethernet Adapter.
- Select the physical port associated with the Logical Host Ethernet port on the Virtual I/O Server logical partition, and click Configure. The HEA Physical Port Configuration page is shown.
- Select VIOS in the Promiscuous LPAR field.
- Click OK twice to return to the contents area.
