Ethernet will depend on machines & adapters
• Host Ethernet Adapter Slides 38
• Power8, Power7 C & D models have no Host Ethernet
Adapters – Will use Ethernet Layer-2 Bridging. Host
must be 7.1 TR3 or later. See Slides 41 to 45
This works by putting two Ethernet adapters (one physical, one virtual) into
a mode where they can receive traffic that is not specifically destined for
their address, and selectively sending those frames onto the other network.
Because of this, frames transmitted by virtual Ethernet adapters on the same
vlan as the bridging virtual Ethernet adapter can be sent to the physical
network, and frames from the physical network can be received by adapters
on the virtual network.

Tagged I/O
• Tagged I/O is where we describe which resources will be
used for the Load Source, Alternative Restart Device, and
Console.
• For the Console we will select HMC
• For the Load Source we will select the Virtual SCSI Client
Adapter we created in this partition.
• For the Alternative Restart Device (Alternative IPL Device)
we will choose either the same Virtual SCSI Client Adapter if
the hosting partition owns the embedded disk controller in
the CEC or an adapter that has an external DVD/Tape
attached.
