Public bug reported: == Comment: #0 - Thorsten Diehl <[email protected]> - 2016-02-03 12:05:19 == When I configure a qeth OSA device, the installer asks for device type, device and protocol layer:
Please choose the type of your primary network interface that you will need for installing the Debian system (via NFS or HTTP). Only the listed devices are supported. Network device type: 1: ctc: Channel to Channel (CTC) or ESCON connection, 2: qeth: OSA-Express in QDIO mode / HiperSockets, 3: iucv: Inter-User Communication Vehicle - available for VM guests only, 4: virtio: KVM VirtIO, Prompt: '?' for help> 2 2 Please select the OSA-Express QDIO / HiperSockets device. Device: 1: 0.0.f5f0-0.0.f5f1-0.0.f5f2 [*], Prompt: '?' for help, default=1> 1 1 By default OSA-Express cards use layer3 mode. In that mode LLC headers are removed from incoming IPv4 packets. Using the card in layer2 mode will make it keep the MAC addresses of IPv4 packets. Use this device in layer2 mode? 1: Yes [*] 2: No Prompt: '?' for help, default=1> The last question experienced a change according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/s390-netdevice/+bug/1526801 Layer2 is the default, which is correct, since the qeth driver uses layer2 as default as well. However, the introductional text says: "By default OSA-Express cards use layer3 mode." And this is wrong and needs to be fixed. Correct wording is: "By default OSA-Express cards use layer2 mode. In layer3 mode LLC headers are removed from incoming IPv4 packets. Using the card in layer2 mode will make it keep the MAC addresses of IPv4 packets." == Comment: #2 - Thorsten Diehl <[email protected]> - 2016-02-03 12:08:52 == Although LP 1526801 deals with this subject, it is different. LP 1526801 is implemented and closed. Now the documentational part in the installer needs to follow that. Thus I recommend to treat this as a separate bug. ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Skipper Bug Screeners (skipper-screen-team) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-136517 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin1604 ** Tags added: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-136517 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin1604 ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Skipper Bug Screeners (skipper-screen-team) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1541544 Title: ubuntu-installer makes a contradictional statement regarding layer2/layer3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1541544/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
