To configure a PPA of the VLAN interface (VPPA) with a VLAN ID = 20 on the lan900 aggregate,
enter the following:
# nwmgr -a -S vlan -A vlanid=20, ppa=900

To enable the VLAN-backed vswitch (VBVsw) feature, HP-UX PHNE_40215 or a superseding patch
is required on the VSP. This patch is available as an individual patch or as part of "FEATURE11i"
bundle. To verify that the patch is installed, enter the following:
# swlist -l product | grep PHNE_40215
PHNE_40215 1.0 LAN cumulative patch
The dlpi_max_ub_promisc kernel tunable needs to be set to when using a VBVsw type vswitch.
Otherwise, attempting to boot the vswitch fails with the following error message from the hpvmnet
command:
# hpvmnet -b -S vs5000
hpvmnetd: setup_downlink: promisc failed, recv_ack:
promisc_phys: UNIX error - Device busy, errno 5
To set the kernel tunable, enter the following:
# kctune dlpi_max_ub_promisc=
10.4.4 Configuring VLANs on physical switches
When communicating with a remote VSP or guest over the network, you might need to configure
VLANs on the physical switches. The physical switch ports that are used must be configured
specifically to allow the relevant VLANs. If the remote host is VLAN aware, You must configure
