must be restarted on the host at the other end of the virtPort. Restart qlgc_vnic
as follows:
/etc/init.d/qlgc_vnic restart
Once done, any VLAN definitions made containing interfaces referenced in the
qlgc_vnic.cfg file need to be redone. In the case of this example, the command
vconfig add eioc2 11 needs to be reissued.
Alternative VLAN Setup
This is an example explains how to setup two interfaces on a host, each on a different VLAN.
Figure 4-31 Alternative VLAN Setup
NOTE: For this example, eioc10 will be on VLAN 10 and eioc20 will be on VLAN
20.
1. Host configuration. Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/qlgc_vnic.cfg as
follows:
{CREATE; NAME="eioc10";
PRIMARY={IOCGUID=0x66a01e1000abc; INSTANCE=10; PORT=1; } }
{CREATE; NAME="eioc20";
PRIMARY={IOCGUID=0x66a01e1000abc; INSTANCE=20; PORT=1; } }
This sets up the two interfaces to the same external port 1 on the EVIC with a
GUID of 00066A01E1000ABC. This is possible because each
INSTANCE is
different. The instance and name are not required to be the same as the VLAN
number.
The two virtual ports on the EVIC that have been setup need to be configured.
2. From the EVIC GUI, select Configuration, VLAN Configuration and Port Type
as Host. Set the PVID to the VLAN number 10 or 20 for the virtual port that
corresponds to the correct HostName, HostInstance, and HostGUID. Set the
Host Ignores VLAN field to Enable. After enabling, either restart the VNIC
module or reboot the EVIC.
3. Select Configuration, VLAN Configuration and Port Type Ethernet. Enable
Ingress Rules and set the VLAN Membership to include the two desired VLANs
10 and 20. Additionally, enable Egress Rules and specify VLAN IDs (10 and
20) in the Egress Tagging field.
