15 Chassis, Sled, and IOA Template Cloning using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version 3.2 | Document ID
2.2.3 Associate VLAN pool to the server configuration Template
VLAN association is a critical step in the server template cloning.
It is mandatory that the VLAN ID deployed on the Reference setup matches with the VLAN ID associated to the
newly created template.
This whitepaper is written with an assumption that the VLAN settings on Reference Chassis was done outside of
the current OME appliance. VLAN pool can be re-used in case the same was already created in the OME appliance.
Note: Before going to the next step, record the details of the VLAN ID created and mapped to Tagged and
Untagged port, on the Reference setup IOA server facing port. Keep the details handy for the creation of the
VLAN pool.
I. Create VLAN pool in OM Enterprise according to the reference MX7000 setup
In this Use case example, let us consider the following:
➢ MX840c Sled in Slot 1 and Slot 3 are deployed with VLAN 100 (Tagged) in NIC 1 port 1 mapped to Fabric A1 and
VLAN 200 (Untagged) in NIC 1 port 2 mapped to Fabric A2.
➢ The additional MX840c Sled in Slot 5 and Slot 7 requires VLAN 300 (Tagged) in NIC 1 port 1 mapped to Fabric
A1 and VLAN 400 (Untagged) in NIC 1 port 2 mapped to Fabric A2.
Create four VLAN pool with ID 100,200,300 and 400 using the below steps:
1. Navigate to Configuration > Networks
2. Select Define and add in the Name, Description, VLAN ID and Network type.
NOTE: The VLAN ID created should be a replica of that present in the reference setup
3. Click on Finish to save the VLAN pool.
