B.5.3 Configuring virtual interfaces with tagged VLAN (synchronized switching)

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

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

If the Standby patrol monitoring function is not used, omit 5) in the procedure for setting up on each host.

Note

An example of configuring /etc/inet/ndpd.conf to use Solaris server as an IPv6 router is described below:
For details on /etc/inet/ndpd.conf, refer to the Solaris manual.

For Solaris 10

ifdefault AdvSendAdvertisements true  # Every interface sends a router advertisement.
prefix fec0:1::0/64 fjgi2000          # fjgi2000 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".
prefix fec0:2::0/64 fjgi3000          # fjgi3000 sends Prefix "fec0:2::0/64".

For Solaris 11

ifdefault AdvSendAdvertisements true  # Every interface sends a router advertisement.
prefix fec0:1::0/64 net2000           # net2000 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".
prefix fec0:2::0/64 net3000           # net3000 sends Prefix "fec0:2::0/64".

1) Setting up the system

1-1) For Solaris 10
Create /etc/hostname6.fjgi2000 and /etc/hostname6.fjgi3000 file as an empty file.

1-1) For Solaris 11
Set the interface to be used by using the dladm(1M) command and the ipadm(1M) command.

Interface net2000

# /usr/sbin/dladm create-vlan -l net0 -v 2
# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-ip net2000
# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-addr -T addrconf net2000/v6

Interface net2001

# /usr/sbin/dladm create-vlan -l net1 -v 2

Interface net3000

# /usr/sbin/dladm create-vlan -l net0 -v 3
# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-ip net3000
# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-addr -T addrconf net3000/v6

Interface net3001

# /usr/sbin/dladm create-vlan -l net1 -v 3

1-2) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

fec0:1::1       v6hosta1   # HOST-A Virtual IP(1)
fec0:2::1       v6hosta2   # HOST-A Virtual IP(2)
fec0:1::2       v6hostb1   # HOST-B Virtual IP(1)
fec0:2::2       v6hostb2   # HOST-B Virtual IP(2)
fec0:1::100     swhub1     # primary HUB IP
fec0:1::101     swhub2     # secondary HUB IP

2) Creation of virtual interface

2-1) For Solaris 10

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m d -i fec0:1::1/64 -t fjgi2000,fjgi2001
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha1 -m d -i fec0:2::1/64 -t fjgi3000,fjgi3001

2-1) For Solaris 11

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m d -i fec0:1::1/64 -t net2000,net2001
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha1 -m d -i fec0:2::1/64 -t net3000,net3001

3) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p fec0:1::100,fec0:1::101 -b on

4) Setting up the HUB monitoring function (Synchronized switching)

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll copy -n sha0,sha1

5) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

Please define only one Standby patrol monitoring function.

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha2 -m p -t sha0

6) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Using the ifconfig command, make sure that fjgi2000 and fjgi3000 for Solaris 10, net2000 and net 3000 for Solaris 11 are enabled as IPv6 interfaces after rebooting the system.

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