Configuring PVLANs

Language:

This section includes tasks that describes how to create PVLANs and list information about PVLANs.

Creating a PVLAN

You can configure a PVLAN by setting the pvlan property value by using the ldm add-vnet or ldm set-vnet command. See the ldm(1M) man page.

You can use the following commands to create or remove a PVLAN:

Use ldm add-vnet to create a PVLAN:
```
ldm add-vnet pvid=port-VLAN-ID pvlan=secondary-vid,pvlan-type if-name vswitch-name domain-name
```
The following command shows how to create a virtual network with a PVLAN that has a primary vlan-id of 4, a secondary vlan-id of 200, and a pvlan-type of isolated.
```
primary# ldm add-vnet pvid=4 pvlan=200,isolated vnet1 primary-vsw0 ldg1
```
Use ldm set-vnet to create a PVLAN:
```
ldm set-vnet pvid=port-VLAN-ID pvlan=secondary-vid,pvlan-type if-name domain-name
```
The following command shows how to create a virtual network with a PVLAN that has a primary vlan-id of 3, a secondary vlan-id of 300, and a pvlan-type of community.
```
primary# ldm add-vnet pvid=3 pvlan=300,community vnet1 primary-vsw0 ldg1
```
Use ldm set-vnet to remove a PVLAN:
```
ldm set-vnet pvlan= if-name vswitch-name domain-name
```
The following command removes the PVLAN configuration for the vnet0 virtual network. The result of this command is that the specified virtual network is a regular VLAN that uses the vlan-id that you specified when you configured the PVLAN.
```
primary# ldm set-vnet pvlan= vnet0 primary-vsw0 ldg1
```

Viewing PVLAN Information

You can view information about a PVLAN by using several of the Logical Domains Manager listing subcommands. See the ldm(1M) man page.

You can use the following commands to view PVLAN information.

Use ldm list-domain -o network to list PVLAN information:

ldm list-domain [-e] [-l] -o network [-p] [domain-name...]

The following examples show information about PVLAN configuration on the ldg1 domain by using the ldm list-domain -o network command.

The following ldm list-domain command shows information about the PVLAN configuration on the ldg1 domain.

primary# ldm list-domain -o network ldg1
NAME
ldg1

MAC
	00:14:4f:fa:bf:0f

NETWORK
NAME   SERVICE              ID DEVICE    MAC               
vnet0  primary-vsw0@primary 0  network@0 00:14:4f:f8:03:ed        
MODE   PVID VID             MTU  MAXBW LINKPROP
       1    3               1500 1700
       PVLAN : 200,community

The following ldm list-domain command shows PVLAN configuration information in a parseable form for the ldg1 domain.

primary# ldm list-domain -o network -p ldg1
VERSION 1.13
DOMAIN|name=ldg1|
MAC|mac-addr=00:14:4f:fa:bf:0f
VNET|name=vnet0|dev=network@0|service=primary-vsw0@primary
|mac-addr=00:14:4f:f8:03:ed|mode=|pvid=1|vid=3|mtu=1500|linkprop=|id=0
|alt-mac-addrs=|maxbw=1700|protect=|priority=|cos=|pvlan=200,community

Use ldm list-bindings to list PVLAN information:

ldm list-bindings [-e] [-p] [domain-name...]

The following examples show information about PVLAN configuration on the ldg1 domain by using the ldm list-bindingsnetwork command.

The following ldm list-bindings command shows information about the PVLAN configuration on the ldg1 domain.

primary# ldm list-bindings
...
NETWORK
NAME    SERVICE              ID DEVICE    MAC               
vnet0   primary-vsw0@primary 0  network@0 00:14:4f:f8:03:ed        
MODE   PVID VID   MTU  MAXBW LINKPROP
       1    3     1500 1700  
       PVLAN :200,community
PEER                 MAC               MODE  PVID VID  MTU  MAXBW LINKPROP
primary-vsw0@primary 00:14:4f:f8:fe:5e 1

The following ldm list-bindings command shows PVLAN configuration information in a parseable form for the ldg1 domain.

primary# ldm list-bindings -p
...
VNET|name=vnet0|dev=network@0|service=primary-vsw0@primary
|mac-addr=00:14:4f:f8:03:ed|mode=|pvid=1|vid=3|mtu=1500|linkprop=
|id=0|alt-mac-addrs=|maxbw=1700|protect=|priority=|cos=|pvlan=200,community
|peer=primary-vsw0@primary|mac-addr=00:14:4f:f8:fe:5e|mode=|pvid=1|vid=
|mtu=1500|maxbw=

Use ldm list-constraints to list PVLAN information:

ldm list-constraints [-x] [domain-name...]

The following shows the output generated by running the ldm list-constraints command:

primary# ldm list-constraints -x ldg1
