configure forwarding vpex vlan-port-filter
Description
Selects the way VLAN membership is implemented for Extended Edge Switching extended ports.
Syntax Description
vpex |
Specifies Extended Edge Switching. |
vlan-port-filter | Select hardware mechanism to enforce VLAN port membership. |
hash-table | Use hash table for VLAN port membership when different VLANs do not share many ports (default). |
port-group | Use port group for VLAN port membership when different VLANs share many ports and there is a requirement for large VLAN scale. |
Default
Hash table is the default behavior.
Usage Guidelines
In Extended Edge
Switching hardware, the extended ports are represented as virtual ports.
The VLAN membership of extended ports can be implemented in two ways:
- Hash table with VLAN and virtual port as key. Note that hash tables can lead to hash collisions at higher scale. (Default)
- Virtual port group. Programming the same group number in the VLAN table and virtual port table indicates membership. The hardware has 64 virtual port groups. You should select this option if many VLANs share the same extended ports.
To see what setting you have selected with this command, see show forwarding configuration.
Example
The following example selects a virtual port group to define VLAN
membership:
# configure forwarding vpex vlan-port-filter port-group
