With the successful creation of the SEA we can use the entstat command on
the VIO Server to get additional details of the components of the SEA as shown
in Example 4-18.
Example 4-18 entstat command used to provide VLAN details
$ entstat -all ent10 |grep VLAN
VLAN Ids :
VLAN Extract: False
VLAN tagged filtering mode: Filter according to VLAN permit array
Max number of VLAN IDs per HEA port: 20
Invalid VLAN ID Packets: 0
Port VLAN ID: 555
VLAN Tag IDs: 40 30 20
VIO Client LPAR virtual Ethernet mapping
The next step is to map a VIO Client LPAR virtual Ethernet adapter to the VIO
Server virtual Ethernet. This procedure is done using IVM. Click the LPAR name
from the View/Modify Partitions view to bring up the Partition Properties
window then click the Ethernet tab. As shown in Figure 4-28 on page 120 in the
Virtual Ethernet Adapter section, pick a VIOC adapter, and from the
corresponding pull down box pick the desired VLAN id. In this example we used
VIOC adapter 2 and VIOS virtual Ethernet corresponding to VLAN 20. When the
selection is complete click the OK button.
