Creating the routes

Use this procedure to create the default routers to enable the packets to exit the virtual Ethernet.

1. At the command line on partition B, type CFGTCP, and press Enter.

2. Select Option 2 (Work with TCP/IP Routes), and press Enter.

3. Select Option 1 (Add), and press Enter.

4. For the Route destination prompt, type *DFTROUTE.

5. For the Subnet mask prompt, type *NONE.

6. For the Next hop prompt, type 10.1.1.73.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for partitions C and D to create a default route on each of those logical partitions. Specify 10.1.1.73 as the next hop address in each case.

   Packets from each of these logical partitions travel over the virtual Ethernet to the 10.1.1.73 interface using these default routes. Because 10.1.1.73 is associated with the external proxy ARP interface 10.1.1.15, the packets continue out of the virtual Ethernet using the proxy ARP interface.
