Chapter 7 Virtual LANs (VLANs) 125
All chassis-managed VLANs are flagged as static in the type column of the show
vlans command.
The output of the show vlans command contains two address fields: admin-addr
and oper-addr. The admin-addr field is the VLAN’s IP address that is configured
on the Oracle Fabric Interconnect and the oper-addr field is the VLAN’s IP address
configured on the host. If the VLAN is chassis-managed, the admin-addr and
oper-addr field should be the same because the IP address information configured
on the Oracle Fabric Interconnect should be the same as configured on the host. If
the VLAN is chassis managed, and the two address fields are different, someone has
changed the IP address information on the host itself. The different IP addresses
indicates a configuration error.
By default a vNIC is created in access mode.
Note – Configuring a VLAN interface by using the add vlan command on this
vNIC will automatically change the vNIC from access to trunk. You can check this
change by issuing the show vnic command and checking its output.
Configuring VLANs
When configuring a VLAN, the primary questions you must answer are as follows:
■ Whether the host server must be VLAN aware.
■ Whether the Ethernet port will connect to a network that will carry multiple
VLAN traffic.
The answer will affect what mode (trunk or access) you configure for vNICs and
Ethernet ports that are members of the VLAN.
A successful VLAN configuration requires configuration of the following
parameters:
1. Ethernet port parameters: Ethernet port parameters are set first.
2. vNIC parameters: vNIC parameters are set after the port parameters.
