X-Series Appliance Switch Configuration for v7.8.4  9

When VLAN is enabled, after running the X10G switch configuration tool, P1 and P2

are trunked together.

When cabling is complete, configure the switch with the X10G switch configuration

tool, page 12.

Upstream switch configuration

Cable appropriately to the upstream switch.

Connecting 10G ports should be in trunk mode.

Enable spanning tree on the ports. The mode can be STP, RSTP, or MSTP.

Designate at least one root bridge with a priority number less than 32768. This is the

default priority for all switches on the X10G.

Configuring VLAN support on a blade

After configuring the switch to recognize VLAN traffic and direct it appropriately,

configure VLAN support on each blade.

With new installations, you are offered the option to assign a default VLAN to

interface P1 as part of the firstboot script.

For upgrades, or to add VLAN support after installation, use the appliance CLI as

follows:

1. Connect to the blade that you want to configure, and log on as admin.

2. Enter the config command, then enter the admin password when prompted.

3. Use the set interface vlan command to assign a VLAN ID to the first interface.

For example:

set interface vlan --interface p1 --vid 400

Important

In the X10G switch configuration tool, when prompted for

the external port, select the option for Te1/2/2.

Important

Once you have assigned a VLAN to any appliance

interface, returning the appliance to a VLAN-unaware (no

VLAN) state requires reimaging the blade.

You can, however, reassign the VLAN ID with the ‘set

interface vlan’ command, described below.
