10.4.2 Guest-Based VLANs (AVIO)
To use guest-based VLANs, you must first enable the tagged VLAN IDs of the GBVs on the vswitch
port. To enable the tagged VLAN IDs, use the hpvmnet -S <vsw> -i command. To disable
the VLAN IDs, use the hpvmnet -o command option.
On a vswitch port, you cannot use a VLAN ID as both an untagged VLAN ID and a tagged VLAN
ID at the same time. That is, a VLAN ID used with the hpvmnet -u command option cannot be
used with the hpvmnet -i option.
Guest-based VLANs are supported with HP–UX 11i v3 guests only.
10.4.3 Configuring VLANs on virtual switches
The VLAN-backed vswitch feature (VBVsw) enables a virtual switch (vswitch) to be backed by a
physical network device with HP-UX VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) configured. The feature allows this type
of vswitch to function just like a vswitch that is bound to a physical interface or an aggregate. Each
VLAN backing the vswitch can be considered as a single network even though it is a discrete
logical LAN being managed by the VSP.
On the VSP, multiple VLAN interfaces can be configured on a guest LAN backed by VBVsw type
vswitch is created, the network traffic delivered to and from the guest is filtered using the VLAN
ID. Guest LANs backed to the same vswitch that has VLAN configured share the same VLAN ID.
Thus, these guest LANs can communicate with each other as if they were on the same physical
network.
For information about VLANs on HP-UX, see the HP-UX VLAN Administrator's Guide for HP-UX 11i
v3 and Planning and Implementing VLANs with HP-UX manual.
10.4.3.1 Creating and managing a vswitch with a VLAN interface
To illustrate how to create and manage a vswitch with a VLAN interface, assume that your system
has physical and aggregate interfaces as shown by the following format:
