Configuring VLANS on page 270
Configuring VLANS
A VLAN defines how the user trac is presented through the network interface.
To configure a VLAN:
1. Select Configure > Policy > VLANS.
2. Select Add, or select an existing VLAN from the list.
3. Configure the following parameters:
Table 70: VLAN Configuration Settings
Field Description
Name Provide a unique name for the VLAN.
Mode Bridged@AC — The Extreme Campus Controller bridges trac for the
station through its interfaces, rather than routing the trac. For B@AC,
topology the station's "point of presence" on the wired network is the data
plane port assigned to the topology.
Bridged@AP — Assigned to APs, the AP bridges trac between its wired
and wireless interfaces without involving the Extreme Campus Controller.
The station's "point of presence" on the wired network for a bridged at AP
topology is the AP's wired port.
Fabric Attach — The Fabric Attach topology type allows an AP to attach to a
Shortest Path Bridging (Fabric Connect) Network. The client component on
the AP communicates directly with the server on an edge switch (or it can
communicate with the server through a proxy) to allow the AP to request
VLAN to I-SID (backbone Service Identifier [IEEE 802.1 ah] mappings). The
Fabric Attach topology type is similar to B@AP with the added I-SID
parameter. Fabric Attach can be configured on the Extreme Campus
Controller anywhere a B@AP topology can be configured.
VxLAN — VxLAN is a network virtualization technology that leverages
existing Layer 3 infrastructures to create tenant overlay networks. VxLAN
addresses the requirements of a multi-tenant data center network
infrastructure by:
• Increasing virtual network scalability to 16 million instances. This allows
for tenant VLAN (Virtual LAN) isolation whereby multiple tenants can
manage their own VLAN/VMAN and MAC address spaces.
• Adding an encapsulation that eectively hides VM MAC addresses from
the physical network that results in physical networking devices to have
smaller MAC and IP table sizes.
• Allowing for Layer 2 adjacency across IP networks by which DC network
operators protect their investment in their current infrastructure.
Additionally operators can distribute trac loads across links eciently
using Layer 3 ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path routing).
VLAN ID Specify the VLAN ID.
Note: It is possible to configure a unique VLAN ID when configuring a role.
This provides more flexibility in the Contain to VLAN default Action.
The VLAN ID range is (1 - 4094). 4094 is reserved for Internal VLAN ID.
