    Hello, I am creating a bridge between IBM i Host and IBM i Guest, using the link

    Ethernet Bridging Between IBM i Host and IBM i Guest

    Ibm remove preview
    Ethernet Bridging Between IBM i Host and IBM i Guest
    This document outlines the setup of an IBM i Host and IBM i Guest using Ethernet Bridging.
    View this on Ibm >

    But when I vary on it sends the following message CPDB1DB:

      --00002090:  Unable to enter promiscuous mode for an Ethernet port that  
    was intended for layer-2 bridging.  For virtual Ethernet (type 268C) ports,
    this indicates that the selected virtual Ethernet adapter was not specified
    to allow bridging at the management console interface.  For Host Ethernet  
    Adapter ports, this may indicate that the port was not marked as being     
    promiscuous-enabled at the management console interface.  Otherwise, this  

     may indicate a hardware problem.

      --00002090:  Use the Change Line Desc (Ethernet) (CHGLINETH) command to   
    change the Resource name (RSRCNAME) parameter for line &23 to a valid value 
    or use the management console interface to correct the configuration        

    problem.

    The server and its HMC are very new. Could it be that the way of configuring C268C has changed?
    Regards.

    Dear Miguel

    When creating virtual ethernet resource 268C, did you follow the steps as described in this Technote?  Adding a Virtual Ethernet (F/C268C) on HMC V7 or Higher at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/adding-virtual-ethernet-fc268c-hmc-v7-or-higher        If the look and feel of your HMC is different, you need to use common sense to navigate the new GUI while keeping in mind that the core process should not changed.

    Hello, apparently there is a change, there are two ways to do it, through the profile, it shows me the parameter that I need but it needs an ipl, and directly in the active partition, this parameter no longer shows it or at least I did not see it, I did it through the second option, thanks and greetings.
