pvi

The pvi command creates and removes a PVI. Use the set public-network command to configure a PVI.

Syntax

add pvi name ID [–type={subnet|global}] [–mtu=value] [–pkey=value] [–trunk-mode={true|false}]
set pvi name [–pkey=value] [–mtu=value] [–new-name=value]
show pvi

where:

• ID is the PVI ID.

• name is the name of the PVI you are creating.

Options

Option Description –mtu Sets the maximum size of packet transmitted without fragmentation. Specify an MTU number between 1500 and 10218. By default, 4070-byte packets are used. –pkey A partition key (hex). Select from the list of established pkeys. –new-name Defines a new name for the PVI. –type Defines the kind of traffic on the PVI: global describes traffic between subnets. subnet describes traffic with the subnet only. –trunk-mode When set to true, the –trunk-mode option assigns a VLAN range . When set to false, a VLAN range is not assigned.

Example: Create a PVI

This example shows how to create a subnet PVI called MMM with an ID of 321 and a pkey of 222.

[OFOS] add pvi MMM 321 -type=subnet
set pvi MMM -pkey=222
show pvi
