《How to Migrate to the z/VM Virtual Switch》describes how to migrate VM to z/VM Virtual Switch.
This manual explains how to migrate to the IBM Session V29 Virtual Switch in a z/VM environment. It discusses the differences between routing and bridging, the concepts of a switch, and provides step‑by‑step instructions for both VLAN‑unaware and VLAN‑aware migrations.\n\nThe document also describes switch functions such as enabling/disabling ports, setting port speed and duplex mode, assigning VLANs, and defining internal routers. Contact information for further assistance is provided at the end of the guide.

Routing requires a virtual router and can use different subnets, while bridging works as a transparent bridge without a virtual router and can use the same subnet.
Ports can be enabled or disabled using the switch functions provided in the guide.
You can assign a port to one or more VLANs through the switch configuration options.
