7.4.2 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.
7.4.3 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 (IEE 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 VM Host.
On the VM Host, 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.
