On managed LAN switch blades, VLANs should be set on both the ports (external connection ports) connected with the adjacent managed network devices (such as L2 switches) and the ports (internal connection ports) connected to the NIC on the managed servers.
Note
VLANs cannot be configured on PRIMERGY BX 900 and BX 400 LAN switch blades operating in IBP mode or Converged Fabric mode.
For a LAN switch blade PY CB 10Gb FEX Nexus B22, this cannot be configured.
When not performing automatic VLAN configuration, use the following procedure to configure VLANs on a LAN switch blade's external connection ports.
In the ROR console server resource tree, right-click the target LAN switch blade and select [Modify]-[Network Settings] from the popup menu.
The [VLAN Settings] dialog is displayed.
Perform the following settings:
Specify the VLAN ID to assign to a LAN switch blade port.
Adding a new VLAN ID
Under VLAN, select [Create new].
Enter a VLAN ID number.
For details on VLAN IDs, refer to the manual of the LAN switch blade to be used.
Modifying an existing VLAN ID
Under VLAN, select [Change].
Select a VLAN ID.
Select port numbers to configure or VLAN types of link aggregation group names ([Untagged] or [Tagged]).
Click the [OK] button.
Check that the VLAN has been set.
Select the LAN switch blade in the server resource tree of the ROR console and display the [Resource Details] tab.
Confirm that the VLAN information is displayed in [VLAN Area] on [Resource Details].
Note
For a LAN switch blade PY CB DCB SW 10Gb 18/6/6, the VLAN settings of external connection ports cannot be configured.
Use the following procedure to configure VLANs on a LAN switch blade's internal ports.
In the ROR console server 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.
Select the index of the network interface for which to assign a VLAN ID, and click [Setting].
The [VLAN Configuration] dialog is displayed.
Perform the following settings:
Enter the VLAN ID to assign to the LAN switch blade port that is connected to the network interface selected in step 2.
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 (",").
Click the [OK] button.
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 to 4.
Confirm the configuration set in the [Network Settings] dialog.
Click the [OK] button.
VLAN settings are applied to the related LAN switch blade.
Note
When the VLAN configuration of a registered LAN switch blade is changed from the Web-based or command-based interface of the LAN switch, it may take a while for that configuration to be reflected on Resource Orchestrator through periodic queries.
When performing server switchover before new VLAN information is reflected, the VLAN information previously set is configured in LAN switch blades. Set the VLAN configuration from the ROR console instead of the LAN switch's own Web-based and command-based interfaces.
If the Port VLAN ID field is left blank and a value is entered for Tagged VLAN ID in the [VLAN Configuration] dialog, the tagged LAN only will be enabled.
To enable a port VLAN, enter a value for Port VLAN ID.
When only a tagged VLAN is configured, the value for the port VLAN is not displayed on the ROR console even if it has been configured on the switch. For the devices for which port VLANs cannot be deleted, it is necessary to limit the frames that let ports pass through to the tagged frames only.
If the port VLAN ID is unspecified or 1, a tagged VLAN ID cannot be set to 1.
VLAN settings cannot be configured for ports with Automatic Migration of Port Profile (AMPP) configured.
