ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Command Reference Guide 249
create vman
create vman <vlan_name> {vr <vr_name>}
Description
Creates a VMAN.
Syntax Description
Usage Guidelines
VMANs allow you to establish a private path through the public network.
After you create the VMAN, you must configure the Ethertype for the VMAN tag and the tags plus
adding the ports that you want. All VMAN ports are automatically enabled for jumbo frames to
accommodate the added VMAN tag.
If you do not specify the virtual router, the VMAN is created in the current virtual router.
To configure a VMAN, follow these steps:
1 Create the tunnel by creating the VMAN.
2 Assign a tag value to the VMAN.
Use the following command:
configure vman <vlan_name> tag <tag>
3 Add the ports in the tunnel to the VMAN.
4 Configure VMAN member ports as tagged on switch-to-switch ports and untagged on the ingress
and egress ports of the tunnel.
Use the following command:
configure vman <vlan_name> add ports [ all | <port_list> ] {untagged | tagged |
nobroadcast }
NOTE
You must configure the VMAN tunnel egress, or trunk, port as untagged so that the VMAN header is
stripped from the frame.
All ports added to the VMAN are automatically enabled for jumbo frames. The Extreme Networks
default Ethernet type for VMAN is 088a8.
Example

create vman fred
vlan_name Specifies a VMAN name. Up to 32 characters.
