Topic: Linux Certification Testing Topic: VSE ... - z/VM - IBM

Alan Altmark of IBM will provide detailed information on how to integrate Linux for zSeries into your IP network. Hewill show you how to configure LCS, OSA Express (QDIO), zSeries HiperSockets, Channel-to-Channel, and IUCVconnections. Special emphasis is given to the z/VM environment, IP address assignment, and routing considerations.Session: L41Title: IBM Middleware for Linux on zSeries and S/390Speaker: Ingolf Salm, IBMAbstract:IBM's WebSphere Application Server with connector software provides an enhanced e-business applicationenvironment. Mainframe customers can benefit from the integration of Linux. IBM has also made available a widerange of middleware in the WebSphere and DB2 families and as well as other products. Come learn how IBM'smiddleware can be used on Linux running on zSeries and S/390.Session: L42Title: Building a Linux Firewall with IPTABLESSpeaker: Scott Courtney, Sine Nomine AssociatesAbstract:Starting with kernel 2.4, Linux has deprecated the IPCHAINS packet filtering in favor of a more versatile tool calledIPTABLES. IPTABLES allows an inexpensive Linux computer to take the place of a much more expensivecommercial firewall for many small- to medium-sized organizations. This session introduces the IPTABLES packetfilter and provides practical examples of how to configure IPTABLES for basic packet filtering as well as transparentIP address masquerading. Brief discussion of migration issues from IPCHAINS to IPTABLES, if time permits.Session: L43Title: Networking Alternatives with z/VM for Penguin Colonies Part 1Speaker: Steve Gracin, IBMSpeaker: Jon vonWolfersdorf, IBMAbstract:This 2 part session will first highlight an alternative to internal point-to-point networking configurations for Linuxguests under z/VM - Guest LANs. Jon will describe z/VM Guest LAN support, implementation requirements,enhancements in z/VM 4.3, and the differences between virtual HiperSockets Guest LANs and the zSeriesHiperSockets microcode function.Next Steve will cover the various ways that Linux virtual machines can be networked together under z/VM.Point-to-point, Guest LAN, and other methods of creating a virtual internal network of Linux guests will be explored.In addition, routing options implicit with various network topology choices will be explored.These sessions will provide information useful to architects responsible for designing and integrating a z/VM virtualinternal network into an existing network infrastructure.Session: L44
