Chapter 3 Setting Configuration Information
and belonging to VID 231, the following is used:
VLAN Interface Number = (1000 * VID) + Physical Instance Number
fjgi231003 = (1000 * 231) + 3
Refer to "3.2 Environment Setting", and create the interface name fjgi231003.
Low 3 digits of VLAN interface number : physical instance number
Upper digits except low 3 digits of VLAN interface number: VLAN ID (1 - 4094).
VLAN interface number = VLAN ID * 1000 + physical instance number
● When connecting VLAN interfaces to a LAN switch, the switch must support Tag VLAN.
(Please refer to "Appendix E Available Switches".)
● On the switch, set VLAN tagging and VLAN ports appropriately based on the VLANs setup
on the server.
● Use the VLAN interface only with the TCP/IP protocol. Do not use the VLAN interface
with SNA/FNA or OSI protocol.
● SafeLINK and PRIMECLUSTER GLS 4.1A20 (or earlier) do not support the VLAN function.
PRIMECLUSTER GLS 4.1A30 (or later), in fast switching or NIC switching mode, does
support the VLAN function.
● The VLAN function is supported with Solaris 8 OS or later.
● In a PRIMECLUSTER environment, when using a VLAN interface, check that the "SMAWdtcp"
package has not been installed. If “SMAWdtcp” is installed, remove the package
before setting up a VLAN interface.
● A VLAN interface uses approximately 700Kb of memory at MTU1514 or 900Kb of memory
at MTU9014 in an idle state. Therefore, when using two or more VLAN interfaces, a
system slowdown may occur due to a shortage of resources, depending on system
configuration.
