You may configure these new ports either through the GUI or the DSCLI.
The GUI provides a new panel to configure the required IP addresses. This panel is in the
GUI path of the Storage Image. Under Storage Image is a new Configure Network Port panel.
The DSCLI provides the following commands to manage these new network ports:
lsnetworkport -l
This command shows the server associations, physical port locations, and IP address
settings for all ports on the queried Storage Image Facility; see an example in
Example 31-2.
shownetworkport
This command shows the server association, physical location, and IP addresses for a
particular port on the Ethernet card; see an example in Example 31-3.
setnetworkport
This command configures the network ports. Example 31-1 displays a command example
and configures the first port on the Ethernet card in server0.

Example 31-2 shows an output example of lsnetworkport -l, which provides an overview of
all available Ethernet ports on the concerned Storage Image Facility.
