Defining VLAN properties

You can configure advanced VLAN properties using the VLAN Properties Configuration template.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to create a VLAN Properties Configuration template.

  1. From the XClarity Administrator menu bar, click Provisioning > Switch Configuration Templates. The Switch Configuration Templates page is displayed.
  2. Click VLAN > VLAN Properties 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 a VLAN ID on which to apply the changes. This can be a number from 1-4095.

      Note
      CNOS reserves VLAN IDs 4000-4095 by default. Using reserved VLAN IDs (either by CNOS or another user) might cause the switch-configuration deployment to fail.

    • Specify a custom name for the VLAN.

    • Choose whether the VLAN is active (enabled) or suspended (disabled).

    • Choose whether IP multicast (IPMC) flood on the target VLAN is controlled (enabled) on IPv4 or IPv6 interfaces. This can be one of the following values.

      • Disable. IPv4 and IPv6 are disabled.

      • Enable. IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled.

      • IPv4 Disable.

      • IPv4 Enable

      • IPv6 Disable

      • IPv6 Enable

      This action is additive, meaning that IPv4 Enable deployed on top of Disable results in IPv4 Enable, but deploy on top of IPv6 Enable results in "Enable. The reverse is true for the disable options.

  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.
