Procedure 7-1 (continued)
Provisioning the Ethernet-VBN switch and port database
Step Action
4 In the Ethernet Switch and Port Provisioning section, select Add/Search
Switch Information.
5 Select a switch IP address, and click the edit
link or the Search button to
launch the Switch Configuration dialog.
6 In the Switch Configuration dialog, provision the IP address as the
"BayStack 303" or "Cisco 2900XL" switch. An example configuration is
shown in Figure 7-5. Note the following about the example Ethernet-VBN
switch configuration in Figure 7-5:
• The "Parent switch IP address" is identical to the "Gateway Address."
This means that this switch is the "highest" Ethernet-VBN switch in the
hierarchy because its parent switch is the Network Services System,
which also seerves as the gateway for the Ethernet-VBN system.
• The "Parent switch port" is (and must be) "1" because the parent port is
the ETH 1 port of the YWS.
• The "Enabled" field must be set to "true" for the switch to function.
