When you create a VLAN, you create a mapping between a gateway connector, a VLAN identifier, and a partition key. You can create VLANs with the createvlan command. If a VNIC will be associated to a VLAN, you must create the VLAN before the VNIC.
Note - Due to hardware limitations for MultiCast groups, there is a maximum of 1000 VLANs.
Note - Regardless if you plan to use VLANs, you must configure a no VLAN to P_Key relationship. For example, the VLAN ID, NO, is assigned to the P_Key, default.
Note - The association of VLAN identifier NO to partition key default survives firmware upgrades.
See Determine VLAN Associations for Gateway Manual Mode (Linux).
See Determine VLAN Associations for Gateway Manual Mode (Linux).
FabMan@gateway_name->createvlan connector|lagname -vlan vlan_ID -pkey p_key
where:
connector is the name of the connector (0A-ETH-1 to 0A-ETH-4, 0A-ETH, 1A-ETH-1 to 1A-ETH-4, and 1A-ETH). This value is column one of the gateway MAC address list.
lagname is the identifier of the LAG.
vlan_ID is the VLAN identifier (NO or 2 to 4094). This value is column four of the gateway MAC address list.
Note - Do not use VLAN identifiers 0, 1, or 4095. According to the IEEE 802.1Q specification, VLAN ID 0 is used for priority tag, and VLAN ID 1 is usually reserved for a switch or bridge management VLAN.
p_key is the partition identifier (1 to 7fff or default). This value is column five of the gateway MAC address list.
For example, to associate connector 1A-ETH-3 with VLAN 3 and default partition key:
FabMan@gateway_name->createvlan 1A-ETH-3 -vlan 3 -pkey default FabMan@gateway_name->
Note - For the createvlan command, given a connector|lagname and vlan_id combination, there is only one p_key permitted.
