Server Complex Properties window: Network page

Use the Network page of the Server Complex Properties window to define up to four network interfaces to be configured on included Linux guest systems. You can also configure the default gateway.

Fields

The Network page in the Server Complex Properties window contains the following fields:

Whole Server Complex
Select this radio button to set the properties for all the Linux guest systems in the server complex. You can either set the properties for the whole server complex, or for each tier separately. When this radio button is selected, properties that were specified for each tier separately are ignored.
Specific Tier
Select this radio button to set the properties for a specific tier in the server complex. When this radio button is selected, the Tiers List is displayed.
Tiers List
Choose a tier from the drop-down list of server complex tiers. This field is displayed when the Specific Tier radio button is selected.
Interface #0, 1, 2, 3
In the Interface # fields, choose from the list of connections for which routing properties were entered. When an interface is defined, the expected Linux interface name (e.g., eth0, hsi0) appears to the right of the selection list. To edit these routing properties, ClickAction z/VM Networking Properties to open the z/VM Properties window and double-click the appropriate line in the table. For more information, see z/VM Networking Properties window.
Default Gateway
Either type or choose the default gateway to configure on the Linux guest systems. The list includes the default gateways of the selected connections in the Interface # fields.
OK

Apply
Applies the specified network configuration without a consistency check. Opens the Guest Selection window so you can select the Linux guest systems to which you want to apply these modified properties.
On all guests of [the server complex/tier]
Lets you determine the set of target Linux guest systems for the Apply action.
