B.3.3 Configuring virtual interfaces with tagged VLAN

This section describes an example configuration procedure of the network shown in the diagram below.

The xx, yy and zz in the figure below are assigned automatically by the automatic address configuration.

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/hosts file.

192.168.10.1    hosta1   # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.20.1    hosta2   # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.30.1    hosta3   # HOST-A Physical IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.40.1    hosta4   # HOST-A Physical IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.50.1    hosta5   # HOST-B Physical IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.60.1    hosta6   # HOST-B Physical IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.10.2    hostb1   # HOST-B Virtual IP
192.168.30.2    hostb3   # HOST-B Physical IP
192.168.40.2    hostb4   # HOST-B Physical IP
192.168.20.2    hostc2   # HOST-C Virtual IP
192.168.50.2    hostc5   # HOST-C Physical IP
192.168.60.2    hostc6   # HOST-C Physical IP

1-2) Write the hostnames defined above in /etc/hostname."interface-name" files. If a file does not exist, create a new file.

- Contents of /etc/hostname.fjgi3000

hosta3

- Contents of /etc/hostname.fjgi4001

hosta4

- Contents of /etc/hostname.fjgi5000

hosta5

- Contents of /etc/hostname.fjgi6001

hosta6

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file.

192.168.10.0    255.255.255.0
192.168.20.0    255.255.255.0

1-4) Create /etc/hostname6.fjgi3000, /etc/hostname6.fjgi4001, /etc/hostname6.fjgi5000 and /etc/hostname6.fjgi6001 files as an empty file.

1-5) Create /etc/inet/ndpd.conf file and set the followings:

ifdefault AdvSendAdvertisements true  # Every interface sends a router advertisement.
prefix fec0:1::0/64 sha0              # sha0 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".
prefix fec0:2::0/64 sha1              # sha1 sends Prefix "fec0:2::0/64".

In the Solaris server that runs Fast switching mode, configure two or more router as IPv6 router. If the IPv6 router breaks down, it cannot use site-local address to communicate. To prevent this, it is recommended to setup at least two IPv6 routers.
For details on /etc/inet/ndpd.conf, refer to the Solaris manual.

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure fjgi3000, fjgi4001, fjgi5000 and fjgi6001 are enabled as IPv4/IPv6 interfaces after rebooting the system.

/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6 -g0

3) Creation of IPv4 virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m t -i 192.168.10.1 -t fjgi3000,fjgi4001
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha1 -m t -i 192.168.20.1 -t fjgi5000,fjgi6001

4) Creation of IPv6 virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -t fjgi3000,fjgi4001
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha1 -t fjgi5000,fjgi6001

5) Activation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

[HOST-B]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/hosts file. Defined information is the same as for HOST-A.

1-2) Write the hostnames defined above in /etc/hostname."interface-name" files. If a file does not exist, create a new file.

- Contents of /etc/hostname.hme0

hostb3

- Contents of /etc/hostname.hme1

hostb4

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file. Defined content is same as HOST-A.

1-4) Create /etc/hostname6.hme0 and /etc/hostname6.hme1 files as an empty file.

1-5) Create /etc/inet/ndpd.conf file and set the followings:

ifdefault AdvSendAdvertisements true  # Every interface sends a router advertisement.
prefix fec0:1::0/64 sha0              # sha0 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure hme0 and hme1 are enabled as IPv4/IPv6 interfaces after rebooting the system.

/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6 -g0

3) Creation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m t -i 192.168.10.2 -t hme0,hme1
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m t -t hme0,hme1

4) Activation of virtual interface
