Ethernet-VBN configuration example notes
Note the following about the example shown in Figure 7-1 on page 7-3:
•YWS ETH 1 has no parent switch
•YWS ETH 1 is the parent of SW#1
• SW#1 is the downlink of YWS ETH 1 (the YWS can have only one
downlink)
• SW#1 is the parent of SW#2, SW#3, and SW#4
• SW#2, SW#3, and SW#4 are downlinks from SW#1
Also, assume the following for the switches shown in Figure 7-1 on page 7-3:
Example parent switch configuration
For the example as illustrated in Figure 7-1, the following would be
provisioned in the "Parent IP Address" field of the Switch Configuration
dialog:
• SW#1 would be assigned a "Parent IP address" of 10.237.1.1, the IP
address of the YWS ETH 1.
• SW#2 / SW#3 / SW#4 would be assigned a "Parent IP address" of
10.240.1.1, the IP address of SW#1.
Example downlink port configuration
For the example as illustrated in Figure 7-1, the following must be provisioned
in the "Downlink IP Address" field of the Configure Port dialog:
• YWS / ETH 1 must be assigned a "Downlink IP address" of 10.240.1.1,
the IP address of SW#1.
• SW#1 / Port 10 must be assigned a "Downlink IP address" of 10.240.1.2,
the IP address of SW#2.
• SW#1 / Port 15 must be assigned a "Downlink IP address" of 10.240.1.3,
the IP address of SW#3.
• SW#1 / Port 20 must be assigned a "Downlink IP address" of 10.240.1.4,
the IP address of SW#4.
In addition, in the Configure Port dialog for all of the above downlink ports,
the Port Use Context must be provisioned to "Network."
