I have done some superficial reading on netcf - and I notice several comments on
bridiging. Found out what it is and I do not expect it on AIX. There is a specialized
partition (VIOS) that provides that function (so-called Shared Ethernet Adapter aka SEA)
by bridging the virtual LAN(s) with a physical port or ether-channel (pseudo) port.
What I have not noticed yet, common in AIX - is what is called an NIB - or Network
Interface Backup. This is an additional feature of the AIX ether-channel pseudo device.
VLAN does exist in AIX, just done differently.
All in all, I expect most aspects to map well.
So, two questions:
a) does netcf have a description for (automated) network interface backup (yes or no are
fine answers);
b) could someone give a short listing of the interface definitions netcf has implemented?
I will read the documentation, but a bulleted list of topics helps me get to the important
items first.
Thanks!
