Learn about virtual Ethernet, Host Ethernet Adapter (or Integrated Virtual Ethernet), Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), Link Aggregation (or EtherChannel), Shared Ethernet Adapter, Shared Ethernet Adapter failover, and VLAN.
Virtual Ethernet technology facilitates IP-based communication between logical partitions on the same system using virtual local area network (VLAN)-capable software switch systems. Using Shared Ethernet Adapter technology, logical partitions can communicate with other systems outside the hardware unit without assigning physical Ethernet slots to the logical partitions.
