Configuring Virtual LAN Tag Properties for CMC

VLANs are used to allow multiple virtual LANs to co-exist on the same physical network cable and to segregate the

network traffic for security or load management purposes. When you enable the VLAN functionality, each network

packet is assigned a VLAN tag.

Configuring VLAN Tag Properties for CMC Using RACADM

1. Enable the VLAN capabilities of the external chassis management network:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o

cfgNicVLanEnable 1

2. Specify the VLAN ID for the external chassis management network:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicVlanID <VLAN id>

The valid values for <VLAN id> are 1– 4000 and 4021– 4094. Default value is 1.

For example:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicVlanID

3. Then, specify the VLAN priority for the external chassis management network:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o

cfgNicVLanPriority <VLAN priority>

The valid values for <VLAN priority> are 0–7. Default value is 0.

For example:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o

cfgNicVLanPriority 7

You can also specify both the VLAN ID and the VLAN priority with a single command:

racadm setniccfg -v <VLAN id> <VLAN priority>

For example:

racadm setniccfg -v 1 7

4. To remove the CMC VLAN, disable the VLAN capabilities of the external chassis management network:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o

cfgNicVLanEnable 0

You can also remove the CMC VLAN using the following command:

racadm setniccfg -v
