The preceding statements:
  • Defines function identifiers 2000-2002 with VFs 1-3 on PCHID 100 as type NETH. They are initially assigned to logical partition LP1 and can be reconfigured to logical partition LP3. Also, they are assigned to physical network identifier NETWORK1.
  • Defines function identifiers 2080-2081 with VFs 8-9 on PCHID 100 as type NETH. They are initially assigned to logical partition LP2 and can be reconfigured to any logical partition in the system. They default to the same PNETID of NETWORK1.
  • FID 2200 with VF 40 is also defined for PCHID 100 as type NETH. It is initially assigned to logical partition LP2 and can be reconfigured to any logical partition in the system. It defaults to the same PNETID of NETWORK1. Also, the VF permits the exploitation of Promiscuous Mode by the operating system.
  • CHPID 80 is defined as type OSH and is on the same PCHID 100 as the above NETH FIDs. The CHPID is shared by logical partitions LP1, LP2, and LP3 in CSS 0 and can be configured to any partition in the same CSS. It defaults to the same PNETID of NETWORK1.
  • CHPID 85 is defined on PCHID 101 as type OSH. The CHPID is shared by logical partitions LP5 and LP6 in CSS 0 and can be configured to any partition in the same CSS. The CHPID does not have a physical network identifier.
