    Hi,

    We have discussed on this request and would like some more information on the use case. If the vlan id is changed for a partition, lets say adapter had vlan id 2 which was being bridged by SEA on VIOS, now if the vlan id is changed to 3, then it might impact the network connectivity of the partition. Is the use case here that the SEA will be modified 1st to bridge the new vlan id and then the partitions would be updated to use the vlan id ?

    Thanks.
