Adding VLAN interfaces

VLAN interfaces are explicitly created and deleted by the Administrator. To create a VLAN interface, supply the base aggregation interface name and the VLAN tag. Then associate IP addresses with those VLAN interfaces using the evs or evsipaddr commands.

Procedure

1. To create a VLAN interface, use the vlan-interface-create command and supply the base aggregation interface name and the VLAN tag as shown in the examples below:

    $ vlan-interface-create --interface ag1 433
      Created ag1-vlan0433
   
    $ vlan-interface-create --interface ag1 499
      Created ag1-vlan0499
    
   

   For further details on vlan-interface-create, see the CLI Reference.

2. Use the vlan-interface-show command to display the existing VLAN interface names.

    $ vlan-interface-show
        ag1-vlan0433
        ag1-vlan0499
    

   For further details on vlan-interface-show, see the CLI Reference.

3. Associate IP addresses with the VLAN interfaces using the evs create command. Use the evs list command to show a list of the VLAN interfaces with IP addresses.

    $ evs create -l EVS1 -i 10.0.0.10/8 -p ag1-vlan0433
    $ evs create -l EVS2 -i 172.16.0.10/16 -p ag1-vlan0499
   
   
    $ evs list
        5     Service  EVS1   Yes    Online   10.0.0.10        ag1-vlan0433
        6     Service  EVS2   Yes    Online   172.16.0.10      ag1-vlan0499
   

   For further details on evs create and evs list, see the CLI Reference.

4. You can also use evsipaddr to associate IP addresses with VLAN interfaces

    $ evsipaddr -e 1 -a -i 192.168.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -p ag1-vlan0433
