Defining VLAN IDs for Network Resources

Define a VLAN ID for use on Resource Orchestrator. For "Figure C.2 Configuration Example for Blade Servers" in "C.3.1 Configuration of Link Aggregation and a Server", define VLAN IDs for ports 37 and 38.


Link Aggregation Configuration for LAN Switch Blades

This section explains how to configure link aggregation for LAN switch blades.

When Using LAN Switch Blade PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8

The following settings are possible for PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8 LAN switch blades.

The following shows the procedure for setting link aggregation in PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8 LAN switch blades.

  1. Set link aggregation for the external port of the LAN switch blade.

    From the admin console of the LAN switch blade, configure link aggregation for the LAN switch blade and enable LLDP.
    Do not set VLAN if VLAN auto-configuration is to be used.
    Refer to the manual for the LAN switch blade for information on how to configure it.

  2. Configure link aggregation and a VLAN on the adjacent network devices.

    Refer to the manual for the network device for information on how to configure it.

  3. Reflect the configuration information for the link aggregation of the LAN switch blade on this product.

    Right-click the target LAN switch blade from the ROR console server resource tree.
    In the displayed menu, click <Update> and reflect the configuration information for the link aggregation of the LAN switch blade on this product.

  4. Confirm that the configuration information for the link aggregation of the LAN switch blade has been reflected on this product.

    Select the target LAN switch blade from the server resource tree on the ROR console, and display the [Resource Details] tab.
    Check if the link aggregation configuration information configured in 1. is displayed in "Link Aggregation Group" on the [Resource Details] tab.
    When the link aggregation configuration information configured in 1. is not displayed, check the settings are configured in 1. and 2., and then perform 3. again.

  5. Create a network resource.

    Refer to "Create Network Resources" in "C.3.3 Operating Resource Orchestrator" for information on creating network resources.


When Using a LAN Switch Blade Other Than PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8

The following shows the procedure for setting link aggregation in LAN switch blades other than PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8.

  1. Set link aggregation for the external port of the LAN switch blade.
    Refer to the manual for the network device for information on how to configure it.

  2. Create a network resource.
    Refer to "Create Network Resources" in "C.3.3 Operating Resource Orchestrator" for information on creating network resources.


Example settings for link aggregation settings to the LAN switch blade (for PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2 LAN switch blades)

The following shows the procedure for setting link aggregation in a PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2 LAN switch blade.

  1. Create a link aggregation (port channel) group.

  2. Set the port channel group's mode to LACP.

  3. Include the uplink port of the LAN switch blade used in link aggregation in the port channel.

  4. Create a VLAN in the switch.

  5. Include the port channel into the created VLAN.

Log in to the two LAN switch blades and execute the command to configure them.

The following is an example of how to set the link aggregation for 1 LAN switch blade. For details, refer to the manual of the LAN switch blade.

Example settings for link aggregation settings to the LAN switch blade (for PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8 LAN switch blades)

The following shows the procedure for setting link aggregation in PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8 LAN switch blades.

  1. Set the external ports (uplink ports) of all of the LAN switch blades included in the link aggregation so that they use all the same VLAN.

  2. Set link aggregation groups for all of the external ports included in the link aggregation.

  3. Enable the LLDP of all of the external ports included in the link aggregation.
    When setting LLDP, make the setting for "VLAN name information" invalid. Make the other settings valid.

Log in to the two LAN switch blades and execute the command to configure them.

The following is an example of how to set the link aggregation for 1 LAN switch blade. For details, refer to the manual of the LAN switch blade.

Note

  • For a PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8 LAN switch blade, if the member ports of the link aggregation meet any of the following conditions, this product will be unable to recognize the information for the member ports of the link aggregation.

    • When the LLDP of link aggregation member port is disable or receive

    • When the VLAN of the member ports of the link aggregation are different to other member ports

    • When the "VLAN Name" of the LLDP of the member ports of the link aggregation is enabled

    Example of LAN switch blade settings when the LLDP is disable

    (config)# interface range 0/19-0/20 <RETURN>
    (config-if)# vlan untag 10 <RETURN>
    (config-if)# vlan tag 20 <RETURN>
    (config-if)# type linkaggregation 1 <RETURN>
    (config-if)# lldp mode disable <RETURN>
    (config-if)# exit <RETURN>
    (config)# save <RETURN>
