B.7.2 Configuring virtual interfaces with tagged VLAN

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

For the network configuration other than GLS, refer to "3.2.2 Network configuration".

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in the /etc/hosts file.

192.168.80.1    hosta    # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.101.1   hosta-v1 # HOST-A Virtual IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.102.1   hosta-v2 # HOST-A Virtual IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.80.2    hostb    # HOST-B Virtual IP 
192.168.101.2   hostb-v1 # HOST-B Virtual IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.102.2   hostb-v2 # HOST-B Virtual IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.80.100  swhub1   # Primary HUB IP
192.168.80.101  swhub2   # Secondary HUB IP

1-2) Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (X is 0,1) file as follows.

2) Creating a virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m v -t eth0,eth1 

3) Setting an IP address and a subnet mask

Define an IP address or a subnet mask in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sha0 file.

4) Setting the network monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpathmon target -n sha0 -p 192.168.80.100,192.168.80.101

5) Adding tagged VLAN interfaces

To add tagged VLAN interfaces (sha0.10 and sha0.20) on the virtual interface (sha0), add the following interface setting files:

For RHEL7

6) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system.

/sbin/shutdown -r now
For RHEL8 or later

6) Setting /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Describe the tagged VLAN interfaces, which are set in step 5), in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.

  • Contents of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

    [main]
    ...
    ignore-carrier=sha0.10, sha0.20

Note

The setting of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf is required to control the processing of NetworkManager for tagged VLAN interfaces and manage the processing in GLS. Make sure to set /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.

7) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system.

/sbin/shutdown -r now

[HOST-B]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in the /etc/hosts file. Defined content is same as HOST-A.

1-2) Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (X is 0,1) file. Defined content is same as HOST-A.

2) Creating a virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m v -t eth0,eth1 

3) Setting an IP address and a subnet mask

Define an IP address or a subnet mask in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sha0 file.

4) Setting the network monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpathmon target -n sha0 -p 192.168.80.100,192.168.80.101

5) Adding tagged VLAN interfaces

To add tagged VLAN interfaces (sha0.10 and sha0.20) on the virtual interface (sha0), add the following interface setting files:

For RHEL7

6) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system.

/sbin/shutdown -r now
For RHEL8 or later

6) Setting /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Describe the tagged VLAN interfaces, which are set in step 5), in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.

  • Contents of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

    [main]
    ...
    ignore-carrier=sha0.10, sha0.20

Note

The setting of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf is required to control the processing of NetworkManager for tagged VLAN interfaces and manage the processing in GLS. Make sure to set /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.

7) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system.

/sbin/shutdown -r now
