Configure SPBM Layer 2 VSN

Before you begin

  • You must configure the required SPBM and IS-IS infrastructure, which includes the creation of SPBM B-VLANs.

  • You must create the customer VLANs (C-VLANs) and add slots/ports.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > VLAN.
  2. Select VLANs.
  3. Select the Advanced tab.
  4. To map a C-VLAN to a Service instance identifier (I-SID), in the I-sid field, specify the I-SID to associate with the specified VLAN.
  5. Select Apply.
    Important

    Important

    • When a protocol VLAN is created, all ports are added to the VLAN including SPBM ports. To configure a protocol-based VLAN as a C-VLAN, you must first remove the SPBM-enabled ports from the protocol based VLAN, and then configure the protocol-based VLAN as a C-VLAN.

    • The switch reserves I-SID 0x00ffffff. The switch uses this I-SID to advertise the virtual BMAC in an SMLT dual-homing environment. The platform clears the receive and transmit bit of this I-SID, therefore I-SID 0x00ffffff cannot be used for any other service.
