9.2.3 Settings for Managed Network Devices

Define the following information to be configured on each of the network devices.


9.2.3.1 Settings for Management

Define configuration information necessary for management.


9.2.3.2 Settings for Pre-configuration

Define settings necessary for pre-configuration.

Figure 9.11 Managed Device Pre-configuration Scope

* Note: L2 switches or Ethernet Fabric switches.

Information

  • Character limitations vary depending on the network device used.

    For specific settings of individual devices, define the settings according to the specifications of the network devices, within the limitations of types and number of characters described above.

    The information necessary to be configured based on the public and admin LAN connection configurations also depends on the specifications of network devices.

    For details on the specifications for each network device, refer to the manual for each device.

  • When targets to manage are the Ethernet Fabric switches (Converged Fabric), design of the following is required.

    • Design the port types for each port of the relevant devices.

    • When using virtual fabrics (VFAB), design all virtual fabrics to use in advance.

    • When using virtual fabrics, it is recommended to use the LAN ports belonging to the default VFAB as the LAN ports for the admin LAN.

    For details on the outline of Ethernet Fabric switches (Converged Fabric), refer to "Appendix H Ethernet Fabric Devices".

  • When targets to manage are IPCOM VX/IPCOM VA, design of the following is required.

    • The VFAB VLAN ID of the virtual fabric must be same as the TPID of the VLAN ID defined in the virtual machine interface definitions of IPCOM VX.
      For details on how to configure TPID, refer to the manual of each device.

    • Use of virtual fabrics using Ethernet fabric switches (Converged Fabric) is required.
      Design virtual fabrics to use for each IPCOM VA.
      During design, note the following information:

      • Set the operation mode of the virtual fabric to Network mode.

      • Configure the IEEE802.1ad frame communication port for the connection port with IPCOM VX.

      Define the S-TAG value of the virtual fabric for the VLAN ID of the virtual machine interface of IPCOM VX.
      The S-TAG value of the virtual fabric can be calculated using the following formula:

      • For default VFAB

        2 fixed value

      • For other than default VFAB

        VFAB ID + 100

    For details on virtual machine interface definitions for IPCOM VX, refer to the manuals of IPCOM VX.
    For the relationship between IPCOM VX/IPCOM VA and virtual fabrics, refer to "Appendix J IPCOM VX Series Devices".

9.2.3.3 Settings for Automatically Configured Devices

The sample scripts provided with Resource Orchestrator to perform auto-configuration for network devices do not perform all definitions for network devices. When using the sample scripts, define the information necessary for auto-configuration of network devices.

Regarding the configuration provided by the sample scripts, refer to "Table G.2 Units for which Sample Scripts are Provided".

Firewall Devices

In the sample scripts, only the network settings within the range of Resource Orchestrator management and firewall rules are auto-configured.
Define the following settings for firewalls:

Server Load Balancers

In the sample scripts, only server load balancing rules and SSL accelerator settings are auto-configured.
Therefore, define the following settings for server load balancers:

L2 Switches

In the sample scripts, only the VLAN IDs specified for network resources are auto-configured.
Define the following settings for L2 switches:
