6.2.1 Configuring VLANs on LAN Switches

On managed LAN switch blades, VLANs should be set on both internal ports (those connected to network interfaces on managed servers) and external ports (those connected to external, adjacent LAN switches).

Note

VLANs cannot be configured on PRIMERGY BX 900 LAN switch blades operating in IBP mode.

6.2.1.1 Configuring VLANs on external ports

Use the following procedure to configure VLANs on a LAN switch blade's external ports.

1. In the RC console resource tree, right-click the target LAN switch blade, and select [Modify]-[Network Settings] from the popup menu.

   The [VLAN Settings] dialog is displayed.

2. In the [VLAN Settings] dialog, set the following items.

   VLAN ID

   Specify the VLAN ID to assign to a LAN switch blade port.

   Adding a new VLAN ID

   1. Under VLAN, select "Create new".

   2. Enter a VLAN ID number.
      Refer to the LAN switch's manual for details on VLAN IDs.

   Modifying an existing VLAN ID

   1. Under VLAN, select "Change".

   2. Select a VLAN ID.

   VLAN type

   Under Port List, select the VLAN type ("Untagged" or "Tagged") to be used by each port.

3. Click <OK>.

   
   

6.2.1.2 Configuring VLANs on internal ports

Use the following procedure to configure VLANs on a LAN switch blade's internal ports.

1. In the RC console resource tree, right-click the target server (or the physical OS or VM host on the server), and select [Modify]-[Network Settings] from the popup menu.

   The [Network Settings] dialog is displayed.

2. In the [Network Settings] dialog, select the index of the network interface for which to assign a VLAN ID, and click <Setting>.

   The [VLAN Configuration] dialog is displayed.

3. In the [VLAN Configuration] dialog, set the following items and click <OK>.

   VLAN ID (Port)

   Enter the VLAN ID to assign to the LAN switch blade port that is connected to the network interface selected in step 2.

   VLAN ID (Tagged)

   Enter the tagged VLAN ID(s) to assign to the LAN switch blade port that is connected to the network interface selected in step 2.
   Multiple VLAN IDs can be entered by separating them with commas (",").

   Note that the VLAN settings are not applied onto the LAN switch blade at this stage. To configure VLANs for multiple network interfaces, repeat steps 2 and 3.

4. Confirm the configuration set in the [Network Settings] dialog and click <OK>.

   VLAN settings are applied to the related LAN switch blade.

Note

The VLAN configuration of a registered LAN switch blade should be set from the RC console instead of the LAN switch's own Web-based and command-based interfaces.
