Use this section to find information about virtual Ethernet, Shared Ethernet Adapter, Shared Ethernet Adapter failover, Link Aggregation (or EtherChannel), and VLAN.
Virtual Ethernet technology enables IP-based communication between logical partitions on the same system using virtual local area network (VLAN)-capable software switch systems. 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.
