configure vman add ports

configure vman vman_name add ports [port_list | all] {tagged | untagged {port-cvid port_cvid} | cep [ cvid cvid_first { - cvid_last } { translate cvid_first_xlate { - cvid_last_xlate } } | port-cvid port_cvid ]

Description

Adds one or more ports to a VMAN.

Syntax Description

vman-name Specifies the name of the VMAN to configure.
vman_id Specifies the ID of the VMAN to configure
all Specifies all switch ports.
port_list Specifies a list of ports.
untagged Configures the specified ports as Customer Network Ports (CNPs).
tagged Configures the specified ports as Provider Network Ports (PNPs), which are also called VMAN network ports.
port-cvid Port's customer VLAN ID used for untagged packets.
port_cvid Customer VLAN ID assigned to untagged packets from 1.

Default

If you do not specify a parameter, the default value is untagged, which creates a CNP.

Usage Guidelines

This command adds ports as either CNPs or PNPs. To add a port to a VMAN as a CEP, use the following command:

configure vman add ports cep

The VMAN must already exist before you can add (or delete) ports. VMAN ports can belong to load-sharing groups.

When a port is configured serve as a CNP for one VMAN and A PNP for another VMAN, it inspects the VMAN ethertype in received packets. Packets with a matching ethertype are treated as tagged and switched across the associated PNP VMAN. Packets with a non-matching ethertype are treated as untagged and forwarded into the associated CNP VMAN.

When a port is configured only as a CNP (an untagged VMAN member), whether the VMAN ethertype is 0x8100 or otherwise, all received packets ingress the associated VMAN regardless of the packet's tagging.

Note

Note

If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), we recommend that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the keyword, the system may return an error message.

The following guidelines apply to all platforms:

Example

The following example assigns ports 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:6 to a VMAN named accounting:

configure vman accounting add ports 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:6 tag 100
