Local VM Authentication Configuration

If you only want to use local authentication, configure the Extreme Network Virtualization (XNV)-enabled switches as follows:

configure vm-tracking authentication database-order local

To enable dynamic VLAN (Virtual LAN), issue the following command:

enable vm-tracking dynamic-vlan ports 19

To add Uplinkports to Dynamic VLAN:

configure vlan dynamic-vlan uplink-ports add ports port_no

To delete the uplink port:

configure vlan dynamic-vlan uplink-ports delete ports port_no

The following is the policy1.pol file for Port 21 in the ingress direction:

entry nvpp1 {
if match all {
ethernet-destination-address 00:04:96:00:00:00 / ff:ff:ff:00:00:00 ;
} then {
deny ;
count host1
} }

The following is the policy2.pol file for Port 21 in the egress direction:

entry nevpp1 {
if match all {
ethernet-source-address 00:04:96:00:00:00 / ff:ff:ff:00:00:00 ;
} then {
deny ;
count h1
} }

The following commands configure VM authentication in the local database:

create vm-tracking local-vm mac-address 00:04:96:27:C8:23
configure vm-tracking local-vm mac-address 00:04:96:27:C8:23 ip-address 11.1.1.101
configure vm-tracking local-vm mac-address 00:04:96:27:C8:23 name myVm1
create vm-tracking vpp vpp1
configure vm-tracking vpp vpp1 add ingress policy policy1
configure vm-tracking vpp vpp1 add egress policy policy2
configure vm-tracking local-vm mac-address 00:04:96:27:C8:23 vpp vpp1

The following commands used to create VM-mac with vlan-tag, and Vr for Dynamic vlan creation:

create vm-tracking local-vm mac-address 00:00:00:00:00:01
configure vm-tracking local-vm mac-address 00:00:00:00:00:01 vpp lvpp1
configure vm-tracking local-vm mac-address 00:00:00:00:00:01 vlan-tag 1000 vr VR-Default
configure vm-tracking vpp lvpp1 vlan-tag 2000

The following commands display the switch XNV feature status after configuration:
