Concepts for virtual networking

Use this section to find information about virtual Ethernet, Shared Ethernet Adapter, Shared Ethernet Adapter failover, Link Aggregation (or EtherChannel), and VLAN.

Shared Ethernet Adapter technology enables the logical partitions to communicate with other systems outside the hardware unit without assigning physical Ethernet slots to the logical partitions.
