4.7.4 Using Access VLANs with Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 RoCE Network Fabric Switches
You can change the switchport access vlan ID
setting to
implement server-level isolation across the RoCE Network Fabric.
By default, Oracle Exadata uses
Access VLAN ID 3888 for all RoCE Network Fabric private
network traffic, on the server re0
and re1
interfaces.
If you change the default Access VLAN ID setting on the Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 RoCE Network Fabric switches, the corresponding server can no longer communicate with other database servers or storage servers using the default setting. The range of valid Access VLAN IDs is 2744-3967.
Use the following procedure to implement different Access VLANs on the RoCE Network Fabric.
Note:
It is recommended that you shut down the servers while modifying the switch configuration to avoid any outages. If you are changing the Access VLAN ID for a subset of the servers in the rack, then only the affected servers need to be shut down prior to modifying the switch.Parent topic: Maintaining the RoCE Network Fabric
