Usage guidelines
A VSI interface is an interface created on an S-channel interface through this command, and it is a
subinterface of the S-channel interface. A VSI aggregate interface is created on an S-channel
aggregate interface, and it is a subinterface of the S-channel aggregate interface. Removing an
S-channel also removes all its VSI interfaces and VSI aggregate interfaces.
A VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface is usually created or deleted by a VSI manager. You can
also manually create or delete a VSI interface, or modify its pre-association or association property
by executing this command.
If MAC address information is contained in the traffic sent by a VM when you change
association
to
pre-association
for a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface, the following events occur:
•
The MAC address is removed from the drive on the EVB bridge.
•
The traffic from the VM cannot be forwarded.
When you change
pre-association
to
association
for a VSI interface, the EVB bridge sets the VM's
MAC address.
After creating a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface, you can enter VSI interface view or VSI
aggregate interface view by executing the
interface
command.
