VLAN Setup
This section describes the necessary procedures to configure an IB host to
communicate with an Ethernet host(s), both hosts using VLAN tags.
Figure 4-30 VLAN Setup
Host Interface Configuration
1. On a Linux Host, use the vconfig command to assign the interface in the
qlgc_vnic.cfg file to VLAN 11 (using the example in Figure 4-30). Assume
that the qlgc_vnic file contains the line:
{CREATE; NAME="eioc2";
PRIMARY={IOCGUID=0x66a02e1000110; INSTANCE=1; PORT=1; }
}
and qlgc_vnic has been started (/etc/init.d/qlgc_vnic start).
2. Using the vconfig command, create an interface in VLAN 11:
vconfig add eioc2 11
This creates an interface named eioc2.11 that sends/receives packets with
a VLAN tag of 11.
Make certain there is an
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eioc2.11 file, as well as
the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eioc2 (on some
kernels the name of the directory will be /etc/sysconfig/network instead
of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts). For the remainder of this section,
assume that the IP address of eioc2.11 is 172.26.48.25.
EVIC Configuration Access the EVIC CLI using the rlogin <slot #> command
within the switch CLI. Find the interface with the hostname
(i.e., IBHost1 in this
example)
, IOCGuid (i.e., 0x66a02e1000110 in this example), and Instance (i.e., 1 in
this example)
using the ethVirtInfoTable command. Assume that the
host/IOC/Instance
combination was found in the row for virtPort 56. The user must
perform the following steps for the host ports (i.e., viPorts) and the Ethernet ports
to allow VLAN tagging between the host virtual port virtPort 56 and the Ethernet
IB Host 1 using
VLAN tag 11
