Abstract
Perhaps you have already implemented a Linux guest environment using z/VM Version 4 Release 3, and are now preparing to move the environment into production. As part of that process you are also evaluating installation of z/VM Version 4 Release 4 (z/VM 4.4) and wondering whether implementation of new z/VM 4.4 networking capabilities would simplify the routed Guest LAN network you previously implemented. This presentation will begin with an overview of guest networking alternatives provided with both z/VM 4.3 and z/VM 4.4, then focus on comparing Guest LANs with z/VM virtual switches. In addition, the presentation will cover the steps necessary to implement a z/vM virtual switch, and why you might choose one over the other. There will be a Question and Answer session following the presentation.
