Example 1: Port Access Mode, VLAN-Unaware Host
In this example, the hosts are not VLAN aware. As a result, they will not be isolated
from other hosts. Consider the example in the following figure.
In this example, the hosts do not require unique VLANs. When traffic is sent to or
from hosts, the traffic is part of the same VLAN. When the traffic is sent between the
Oracle Fabric Interconnect and the external network, no tags are kept. All hosts and
traffic are in a “flat” configuration where they belong to the same VLAN, so no
isolation occurs.
The configuration procedure for this example would be as follows:
1. Configure the Ethernet port mode:
set ethernet-port 15/1 -mode=access -access-vlan=10
