NOTE
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), Extreme Networks recommends
that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the keyword, the system may
return an error message.
BlackDiamond 8800 series switch and Summit X450 family of switches only.
Beginning with ExtremeWare
XOS 11.5, you can configure vMANs and VLANs on the same module or on the same stand-alone
switch for the following devices: BlackDiamond 8800 a-series and e-series modules and Summit X450a
and X4503 series switches. You can configure both vMAN and VLAN simultaneously on the same
physical port, but you must first change the vMAN Ethernet type to 0x8100.
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.4, you can configure vMANs and VLANs on the same module, on
the same stand-alone switch, or on the same port once you configure the vMAN Ethernet type as
0x8100. You must specifically configure this vMAN Ethernet type; the default vMAN Ethernet type is
0x88a8. If you attempt to configure vMANs and VLANs on the same module or stand-alone switch
without changing the Ethernet type to 0x8100, the system returns an error.
You must enable jumbo frames for the entire module or stand-alone switch prior to creating and
configuring vMANs. Use the
enable jumbo-frame ports all
command to enable jumbo frames on
on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switches.
BlackDiamond 10808 and 12804 switch only.
A physical port configured in a vMAN as an
untagged
port
cannot
also belong to a VLAN; however, a port configured in a vMAN as a
tagged
port
can
simultaneously belong to a VLAN.
If you specify the parameter
nobroadcast
, the system used the default value of untagged; you cannot
add
nobroadcast
once you have specified tagged packets.
All vMAN ports are automatically enabled for jumbo frames to accommodate the extra vMAN tag. If
any port in the load-sharing group is enabled for vMAN, all ports in the group are automatically
enabled to handle jumbo size frames. Also, vMAN is automatically enabled on all ports of the untagged
load-sharing group.
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 12, “Commands for Virtual Routers.”
Example
The following command assigns ports 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:6 to a vMAN named
accounting
:
configure vman accounting add ports 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:6 tag 100
