This section explains how to operate GLS.
To start the GLS system after creating the Hyper-V virtual network, you must restart the host OS.
If the network is switched in the configuration where GLS is installed on the host OS, the virtual adapter sends the MAC address of the network adapter on a guest OS to a proximity switch, and then the MAC learning table is updated. This enables the transmission to immediately restart when the network is switched.
Information
You can also set the information to be sent to a proximity switch manually.
For information to be set, check a network adapter to be connected to the virtual network with which the GLS virtual adapter is registered. For the host OS, check the information referring to a result displayed by executing the ipconfig command. For a guest OS, open the setting window for guest OS from [Hyper-V Manager] and see "MAC Address" and "VLAN ID" in [Network Adapter].
Enter the information you checked in the file "<GLS Installation Directory>\usr\script\adapter\maclist.txt" in the format as shown below:
Virtual adapter name VLAN ID MAC address Machine name |
Separate the items using tabs. Moreover, specify a hyphen to the VLAN ID without VLAN tag settings or a machine name which is used to set the network adapter on the host OS.
[Example]
sha0 - ZZ-ZZ-ZZ-ZZ-ZZ-ZZ - sha0 2 XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX VM1 sha0 3 YY-YY-YY-YY-YY-YY VM2 |
Information
If there is no file which includes the information to be sent to a proximity switch, GLS automatically obtains and sends the information when the network is switched. When you set the file manually, the MAC address information is sent to a proximity switch based on the information entered in the file.
