The value is an integer that uniquely identifies the device.
<n>
that type, 1 for the second, and so on.
• Configure the device.
Set the maximum buffer size if needed:
# echo <value> > /sys/bus/iucv/drivers/netiucv/netiucv<n>/buffer
The is the number of bytes you want to set. If you specify a value outside the valid
<value>
range, the command is ignored.
The permissible range of values for the maximum buffer size depends on the MTU settings. It
must be in the range <minimum MTU + header size> to <maximum MTU + header size>. The
header space is typically 4 bytes. The default for the maximum buffer size is 32768 bytes (32
KB).
For more information on configuration of the IUCV driver, refer to the following:

• Define the alias.
Based on the type interface being added, add a line to
following:
iucv<n> alias netiucv
• Create a configuration script.
Create a file in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-iucv<n>
The file should look like this:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-iucv0

DEVICE=iucv0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.70.136
