This section describes how to add a virtual adapter.

Figure 5.1 Adding a Virtual Adapter

1. Deactivate all virtual adapters by executing the stphanet command.

   > stphanet
   FJSVhanet: INFO: 00005: The ping monitoring stopped.
   FJSVhanet: INFO: 00000: The command ended normally.

2. Display the [Network Connections] window by selecting from [Control Panel]-[Network and Internet]-[Network and Sharing Center]-[Change adapter settings], then check your network adapters that need to be bundled.

3. Create the new virtual adapter by executing the create subcommand of the hanetconfig command, specifying virtual adapter sha1 to bundle the physical adapters (Ethernet 3 and Ethernet 4).

   > hanetconfig create -n sha1 -t "Ethernet 3","Ethernet 4"
   FJSVhanet: INFO: 00000: The command ended normally.

   For more details on the hanetconfig command, refer to "6.2.2 hanetconfig."

4. Check the settings by executing the print subcommand of the hanetconfig command.

   > hanetconfig print
    Name     VID  Adapters
   +--------+----+----------------------------------------------------------------+
    sha0     ---- Ethernet 1,Ethernet 2
    sha1     ---- Ethernet 3,Ethernet 4

Point

• Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each virtual adapter that you create.

• Usually, the physical adapter that has been specified first will be used as the operational adapter.
