ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
760
To configure a vMAN, follow these steps:
1
Create the tunnel by creating the vMAN.
2
If you are working on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches or the Summit X450 switches,
enable jumbo frames.
Use the following command:
enable jumbo-frames ports all
3
Assign a tag value to the vMAN.
Use the following command:
configure vman <vman-name> tag <tag>
4
Add the ports in the tunnel to the vMAN.
5
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 <vman-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.
The Extreme Networks default Ethernet type for vMAN is 088a8.
You must use mutually exclusive names for:
●
VLANs
●
vMANs
●
IPv6 tunnels
●
SVLANs
●
BVLANs
NOTE
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS software version 11.3 you can tunnel multicast traffic on the BlackDiamond
10808 and 12804 switch. To assign an IP address to a vMAN, use the
configure vlan ipaddress
command.
Example
The following command creates a vMAN named
fred
:
create vman fred
