Thanks for the reply.
The only problem which I face is with the VLANs. May be you can help me out.
on my VIO:
My Virtual Adapter has the following properties
Default VLAN ID: 102
Additional VLANs to accept: 103
IEEE 801.Q ==> YES
Trunk ==> YES
This one is mapped to the physical adapter ENT1 using the command
mkvdev -sea ent0 -vadapter ent3 -default ent3 -defaultid 102
ent4 Available
et4
so I get en4 ==> I give it the IP 172.16.102.40
I can ping my gateway and outside..
No issues what-so-ever.
My Client LPAR has two virtual ethernet adapters
en0 ==> default vlan id: 102 (IP 172.16.102.50)
I can ping outside // to gateway....no issues what-so-ever
en1 ==> default vlan id: 103 (IP 172.16.103.50) {
I can't use this yet because SEA has not been configured to route the packets to external... I try pinging.. nothing happens}
IEEE 801.Q ==> NO
Trunk ==> NO
Now I go back to my VIO try to add the 103 VLAN to my SEA
this is how I add
mkvdev -vlan ent2 -tagid 103
ent5 Available
en5
et5
*** However, I cannot give any IP address to en5, it gives me error..
But that's not the issue....
I want my LPAR which is using 172.16.
103.50 to go to external network.
But it doesn't go out.
Tried so many methods...really exhausted..
read several documents:
latest one:

IBM - Create an SEA with vlan tagging and without
but doesn't help..
any info would be appreciated...
