Associate a Port and MLT with an I-SID for ELAN

Shortest Path Bridging MAC (SPBM) supports Layer 2 Virtual Service Network (VSN) functionality where Switched UNIs are bridged over the SPBM core infrastructure.

Switched User Network Interface (S-UNI) allows the association of local endpoints to I-SIDs based on local port and VLAN together. With switched UNI, the same VLAN can be used on one port to create an endpoint to one I-SID, and on another port to create an endpoint to another I-SID.

Use the following procedure to associate a port and MLT with an I-SID.

About this task

You must configure Switched UNI.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Fabric.
  2. Select ISID.
  3. On the Service tab, select a row with the type configured as elan.
  4. Select Switched Uni.
  5. Select Insert.
  6. Enter the VLAN ID in the Cvid field.
  7. Select Port or Mlt to update the interface index in the IfIndex field.
  8. Select Insert.
