create vman
create vman <vman-name> {vr <vr_name>}
Description
Creates a vMAN, which allows you to create a "tunnel" through the public network.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A
Usage Guidelines
vMANs allow you to establish a private path through the public network.
After you create the vMAN, you must configure the vMAN tag plus adding the ports that you want.
NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 10808 and 12804 switch, all vMAN ports are automatically enabled for jumbo frames to
accommodate the added vMAN tag. On the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch and the Summit X450 family of
switches, you must enable jumbo frames on the switch.
If you do not specify the virtual router, the vMAN is created in the current virtual router.
NOTE
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.5, you can configure VLANs and vMANs on the same module on the
BlackDiamond 8800 a-series and e-series modules and on the same stand-alone Summit X450a and X405e series
switch. With ExtremeWare XOS 11.4, to configure both VLANs and vMANs on the same module on the
BlackDiamond 8800 series switch and on the same stand-alone Summit X450 family of switches, you must change
the vMAN Ethernet type to 8100. See
configure vman ethertype
to change the Ethernet type for vMANs.
vman-name
Specifies a vMAN name. Up to 32 characters.
vr
Specifies a virtual router.
vr_name
Specifies the virtual router.
NOTE: On the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch and the Summit X450 family
switches, all vMANs are created in VR-Default and cannot be moved.
