Create and Configure the Data Center EAPS Protected VLANs

  1. Create the EAPS protected VLAN for the data center domain.
  2. Configure the 802.1q tag and ports for the protected VLANs.

    Because each server is dual-homed to each data center switch, add a VLAN port on each switch for each server.

  3. Configure the protected VLAN as part of the EAPS domain. Do this configuration on the core and data center switches.

    Core-Switch#1 protected VLAN configuration:

    * CORE-SWITCH#1.7 # create vlan srvfarm-1
    * CORE-SWITCH#1.8 # configure vlan srvfarm-1 tag 1000
    * CORE-SWITCH#1.9 # configure vlan srvfarm-1 add port 4:1,4:2 tagged
    * CORE-SWITCH#1.10 # configure eaps e6-domain add protect vlan srvfarm-1

    Data center-Switch#1 protected VLAN configuration:

    * DC-SWITCH#1.8 # create vlan srvfarm-1
    * DC-SWITCH#1.9 # configure vlan srvfarm-1 tag 1000
    * DC-SWITCH#1.10 # configure vlan srvfarm-1 add port 49,50 tagged
    * DC-SWITCH#1.11 # configure vlan srvfarm-1 add port 1 untagged
    * DC-SWITCH#1.12 # configure eaps e5-domain add protect vlan srvfarm-1

    Data center-Switch#2 protected VLAN configuration:

    * DC-SWITCH#2.8 # create vlan srvfarm-1
    * DC-SWITCH#2.9 # configure vlan srvfarm-1 tag 1000
    * DC-SWITCH#2.10 # configure vlan srvfarm-1 add port 49,50 tagged
    * DC-SWITCH#2.11 # configure vlan srvfarm-1 add port 1 untagged
    * DC-SWITCH#2.12 # configure eaps e5-domain add protect vlan srvfarm-1
