SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server for IBM System z includes network drivers for OSA devices (token ring, ethernet, and gigabit ethernet) and HiperSockets. This chapter describes the configuration within the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation system.
![[Warning]](admon/warning.png) | CTC, ESCON, and IUCV Interfaces No Longer Supported |
|---|---|
CTC, ESCON, and IUCV interfaces are no longer officially supported. For compatibility reasons, they are still usable, but with the next release of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server the support of these interfaces will be dropped completely. | |
Select 1 from the list of network devices (for an OSA
network adapter), then 2 for the LCS bus interface,
then either 1 for ethernet or 2
for token ring.
Example A.1. Supported Network Connection Types
Please select the type of your network device. 1) OSA-2 or OSA Express 2) HiperSockets 3) Channel To Channel (CTC) [unsupported] 4) ESCON [unsupported] 5) Inter-User Communication Vehicle (IUCV) [unsupported] > 1 Please choose the CCW bus interface. 1) QDIO 2) LCS > 2 Please choose the physical medium. 1) Ethernet 2) Token Ring > 1
When prompted, enter the network device read channel number (such as 0.0.fc20), the write channel number (like 0.0.fc21), and the relative port number on this device.
Example A.2. Network Device Driver Parameters
+ Device address for read channel> 0.0.fc20
+
+ Device address for write channel> 0.0.fc21
+
+ Enter the relative port number> 2
Next, choose manual configuration then enter the IP address, netmask, broadcast address, IP address of the gateway, and IP address of the DNS server.
Example A.3. Network Device Name
Automatic configuration via DHCP? 1) Yes 2) No > 2 Enter your IP address> 192.168.0.20 Enter your netmask. For a normal class C network, this is usually 255.255.255.0 [255.255.255.0]> 255.255.255.0 If you need a gateway to reach the server, enter the IP address of the gateway. If you do not need a gateway, enter your own IP address [192.168.0.20]> 192.168.0.1 Enter the IP address of your name server. If you do not use a name server, just enter "+++" [192.168.0.20]> 192.168.0.2
Select 1 from the list of network devices for OSA
network adapters, then 1 for the QDIO interface, then
1 for ethernet. When prompted, enter the network
device's
read, write, and data channel numbers (for example,
0.0.0808,
0.0.0809, and 0.0.080a) and the port
name, if applicable. Choose whether to enable OSI Layer 2 support and
enter the relative port number.
Example A.4. Network Device Driver Parameters
Please select the type of your network device. 1) OSA-2 or OSA Express 2) Hipersockets -------------------- 3) Channel To Channel (CTC) 4) ESCON 5) Inter-User Communication Vehicle (IUCV) > 1 Please choose the CCW bus interface. 1) QDIO 2) LCS > 1 Please choose the physical medium. 1) Ethernet 2) Token Ring > 1 0.0.09a0 1731/01 0.0.09a1 1731/01 0.0.09a2 1731/01 0.0.0808 1731/01 0.0.0809 1731/01 0.0.080a 1731/01 Device address for read channel> 0.0.0808 Device address for write channel> 0.0.0809 Device address for data channel> 0.0.080a Portname to use> SUSEPORT Enable OSI Layer 2 support? 1) Yes 2) No > 2 Enter the relative port number> 0
Next, enter the full hostname. Then choose manual configuration and enter the IP address, netmask, broadcast address, IP address of the gateway, and IP address of the DNS server.
Example A.5. Network Device Name
Fully qualified hostname> earth.cosmos.com Automatic configuration via DHCP? 1) Yes 2) No > 2 Enter your IP address> 192.168.0.20 Enter your netmask. For a normal class C network, this is usually 255.255.255.0 [255.255.255.0]> 255.255.255.0 If you need a gateway to reach the server, enter the IP address of the gateway. If you do not need a gateway, enter your own IP address [192.168.0.20]> 192.168.0.1 Enter the IP address of your name server. If you do not use a name server, just enter "+++" [192.168.0.20]> 192.168.0.2
