13.5.4 Edit VLAN Configuration in MX7000 compatible server template
This section describes how to edit and assign VLAN attributes for a template created by using the modular
server compatible with MX7000 chassis, to enable VLAN assignment on the server-facing ports of IOAs
during the deployment of configuration template on sever:
Note—VLAN Configuration will only be available with templates created by using modular servers compatible
with MX7000. For editing IOA VLAN Configuration for other models of modular servers, see Editing IOA
VLAN Attributes in server template.
Unlike VLAN configuration in CMC chassis’ IOAs where VLAN ID values are directly assigned to the ports,
configuration is a two-step process here. Firstly, named networks are created for required VLAN IDs and then
these networks are assigned to ports of IOAs.
1. Navigate to the Deployment tab.
2. Select the template under Templates  Server Templates in the upper-left corner.
3. Select MX Chassis Networks tab.
4. Click Add New button.
5. In the Add Network dialog, enter following attributes and click Ok button for creating a new network.
