configure vman add ports
ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Command Reference Guide 241
configure vman add ports
configure vman <vlan_name> add ports [ all | <port_list> ] {untagged |
tagged | nobroadcast }
Description
Adds one or more ports in a VMAN.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
If you do not specify a parameter, the default value is untagged. If you specify the parameter
nobroadcast
, the system used the default value of untagged; you cannot add
nobroadcast
once you
have specified tagged packets.
The VMAN tunnel begins at the ingress, or customer access, port and terminates at the egress, or trunk,
port. Traffic flows from the egress trunk port onto the network thereafter without the VMAN tag.
Ensure that all the switch-to-switch ports in the VMAN tunnel are configured as tagged ports.
Configure the VMAN ingress, or customer access, port as an untagged port (although this port does
accept tagged packets). You must configure the VMAN tunnel egress, or trunk, port as an untagged port
so that the VMAN header is stripped from the frame.
NOTE
You must configure the VMAN tunnel egress, or trunk, port as untagged so that the VMAN header is
stripped from the frame.
The VMAN must already exists before you can add (or delete) ports: use the
create vman
command to
create the VLAN.
All VMAN ports are automatically enabled for jumbo frames to accommodate the extra VMAN tag. The
Extreme Networks default Ethernet type for VMAN is 088a8.
All ports added to a specified VMAN must be in the same virtual router. For more information on
displaying, configuring, and using virtual routers, see Chapter 6.
vlan_name Specifies a VMAN name.
all Specifies all ports.
port_list Specifies a list of slots and ports. May be in the form 3-5, 2:5, 2:6-2:8.
untagged Specifies that the ports are untagged.
tagged Specifies that the ports are tagged.
nobroadcast Specifies that the ports do not forward broadcast, multicast, or unknown
unicast packets.
