Prepare to Add a VLAN

Language:

Determine if vNIC tags must be preserved between the fabric and a peer Ethernet device.
If tags must be preserved, the port mode must be set to trunk mode. If tags do not need to be preserved, the port mode must be set to access mode.

Note - The fabric's port mode and the Ethernet switch's port mode must be set to the same operational mode (either trunk or access) to transmit or receive tagged or untagged packets between hosts.
Determine if the host will be VLAN aware.
If the host will not be VLAN aware, set the vNIC to access mode.

The mode you configure (trunk or access) affects both vNICs and Ethernet ports that are members of the VLAN. Whichever configuration method you choose, use the GUI to create the VLAN. Refer to the Oracle Fabric Manager 5.0.2 Administration Guide.
Create the vNICs that will be members of the VLANs.
