InstNetDev=osa
Enter the type of interface to configure. Possible values are osa, hsi. ctc, escon,
and iucv. (CTC, ESCON, and IUCV are no longer officially supported).
For the interfaces of type hsi and osa, specify an appropriate netmask and an
optional broadcast address:
Netmask=255.255.255.0
Broadcast=192.168.255.255
For the interfaces of type ctc, escon, and iucv (CTC, ESCON, and IUCV are
no longer officially supported), enter the IP address of the peer:
Pointopoint=192.168.55.20
OsaInterface=<lcs|qdio> OsaMedium=<eth|tr>
For osa network devices, specify the host interface (qdio or lcs) and the phys-
ical medium (eth for ethernet or tr for token ring).
Layer2=<0|1>
For osa QDIO ethernet devices, specify whether to enable OSI Layer 2 support.
OSAHWAddr=02:00:65:00:01:09
For Layer 2-enabled osa QDIO ethernet devices, specify the manual MAC address.
Note that this is distinct from HWAddr, which contains the default MAC address
as detected by linuxrc.
PortNo=<0|1>
For osa network devices, specify the port number (provided the device supports
this feature). The default value is 0.
Each of the interfaces requires certain setup options:
• Interfaces ctc and escon (CTC and ESCON are no longer officially supported):
ReadChannel=0.0.0424
WriteChannel=0.0.0425
ReadChannel specifies the READ channel to use. WriteChannel specifies
the WRITE channel.
