Defining global L2 interface settings

You can configure VLAN tagging properties on L2 Interfaces using the L2 Interface Configuration template.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to create an L2 Interface Configuration template.

  1. From the XClarity Administrator menu bar, click Provisioning > Switch Configuration Templates. The Switch Configuration Templates page is displayed.
  2. Click Global > L2 Interface Configuration in the left navigation, and then click the Create icon (Create icon).
  3. In the Create New Template dialog, specify the following information.

    • Enter a name and description for the template.

    • Specify one or more valid physical L2 interfaces. You can specify a list of interfaces separated by a comma, a range of IDs separated by a dash, or a combination of both, for example:

      • Ethernet1/10

      • Ethernet1/3,5,7,9

      • Ethernet1/5-10,21-32

      • Ethernet2/2-5,7,9,11-13

    • Choose where to enable native VLAN tagging. This can be one of the following values.

      • Ingress and Egress

      • Egress only

      Note
      This property is supported by CNOS 10.10.1 and later.

    • Choose whether to enable or disable tunnelling (QinQ) support.

      Note
      This property is supported by CNOS 10.10.1 and later.
  4. Click Create to save the template, or click Create and Deploy to save and immediately deploy the template to one or more managed rack switches.
