Note –
In the above examples, the second NIC output for ixgbe224002 was plumbed
and up’d but had no IP address. By default, the netmask and broadcast are set by the
system, which uses IP class C to make that setting 255.255.255.0. When the address is
set, the
ifconfig
command by default does not display the broadcast address if the
explicit IP addr is not set.
Refer to the documentation that came with your switch for specific instructions for
setting VLAN tagging and ports.
▼
To Configure VLANs in a Linux Environment
1. Ensure that the
ixgbe
module is loaded:
2. Plumb the Sun 10GbE XFP SR PCI Express Card interface:
where
xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
= the IP address of the interface.
3. Add the VLAN instance (VID).
For example:
where
eth6
is the interface and
5
is the VID.
Note –
In Linux systems, you can use any single digit as the VID.
4. Configure the
ixgbe
VLAN (
eth2
in this example):
where
xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
= the IP address of the interface.
#
modprobe ixgbe
#
ifconfig eth6
xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
up
#
vconfig add eth6 5
#
ifconfig eth6.5
xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
up
