A Sample VLAN Topology

Chapter 7

Step 9. Now that the laptop has an IP address, telnet to the Switch Blade to make all further configuration

changes by entering the following:

telnet 192.168.1.1

The Out-of-band port is now configured as your walk-up configuration port.

IMPORTANT Make the same set of changes to the redundant, failover Ethernet Switch Blade at

this time in order to maintain High Availability integrity for the 14-Slot Shelf.

Configuring the Opposite-Side Shelf Manager (zre13 base)

You are now ready to start configuring the base interfaces on the Ethernet Switch Blade. The first one that

you want to configure is vlan1, which is the network that connects your Switch Blade to the opposite side

ShMM. To configure the opposite side ShMM, complete the following steps:

Step 1. Tear down all base interfaces by issuing the following command:

zconfig -t

Step 2. To build vlan1, and to make sure it is recreated when you reboot the Switch Blade, add the

following S21cross-shmm rc script to the /etc/rcZ.d directory:

#!/bin/sh

# /etc/rcZ.d/S21cross-shmm

# rc script to build vlan1 that connects the Switch Blade

# to the opposite-side ShMM.

set -u

case "$1" in

start)

Build vlan1 that connects the Switch Blade to the

# cross-connected ShMM.

zconfig zhp0: vlan1=zre13 # ShMM eth1 cross-connect

zconfig zre13=untag1

# Assign an IP address to zhp0/vlan1:

# The "other side" ShMM eth1 is always 192.168.2.2.

ifconfig zhp0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
