Configure Static VLANs in a Solaris Environment
Configure VLANs in a Linux Environment
When configuring VLANs, use the following naming format, which includes both the VID and the physical point of attachment (PPA):
VLAN logical PPA = 1000 * VID + Device-PPA
For example, 123000 = 1000 * 123 + 0. So the VLAN interface will be ixgbe123000.
This format limits the maximum number of PPAs (instances) that you can configure in the /etc/path_to_inst file to 1000.
For example, if the virtual ID is 123 and the physical adapter is instance 2:
VLAN logical PPA = 1000 * VID + Device-PPA
Thus, 123002 = 123000 + 2.
So the VLAN interface is ixgbe123002. This format limits the maximum number of PPAs (instances) that can be configured in the /etc/path_to_inst file to 1000.
For example, on a server with Oracle’s Sun Dual 10GbE PCIe 2.0 Fabric Expansion Module having an instance of 2, belonging to a member of two VLANs, with VID 123 and 224, you would use ixgbe123002 and ixgbe224002, respectively, as the two VLAN PPAs.
