VIOS SEA Network bridge without HMC

Two ways to make the VIOS's network to work:

SEA (shared ethernet Adapter)
HSE (hosted Ethernet Adapter)

In this SEA example, we need to create a bridge to make it work.  We need to create a share adapter to pass the network traffic from internal to external.

(Please make a note, we need to find a existed and available Virtual I/O in here which I picked ent7. This command will create a new shared Ethernet adapter. Please see the example below)

I did wrong one. I should not assign a IP address on a Ethernet adapter. I should assign a IP address on the share network adapter. To detach it:

$ chdev -dev en2 -attr state=detach
en2 changed

$ mktcpip -hostname <HOSTNAME> -inetaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -interface en8 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -nsrvaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -nsrvdomain <DOMAINNAME>
