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 Virtual LAN Tag Properties for CMC Using Web Interface

To configure VLAN for CMC using the CMC Web interface:

1. Go to any of the following pages:

• In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview and click Network → VLAN.

• In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview → Server Overview and click Network → VLAN.

The VLAN Tag Settings page is displayed. VLAN tags are chassis properties. They remain with the

chassis even when a component is removed.

2. In the CMC section, enable VLAN for CMC, set the priority and assign the ID. For more information

about the fields, see the CMC Online Help.

3. Click Apply. The VLAN tag settings are saved.

You can also access this page from the Chassis Overview → Servers → Setup → VLAN subtab.

Configuring Virtual LAN 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 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 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
