Configuring VLANs

To Configure Static VLANs

1. Create one hostname6.ce

number file for each VLAN that will be configured for

each adapter on the server.

Use the following naming format that includes both the VID and the physical point
of attachment (PPA):

VLAN logical PPA = 1000 * VID + Device PPA

ce123000 = 1000*123 + ce

This format limits the maximum number of PPAs (instances) you can configure to
1000 in the

/etc/path_to_inst

file.

For example, on a server with the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter having an
instance of 0, that belongs to a member of two VLANs, with VID 123 and 224, you
would use

ce123000

and

ce224000

, respectively, as the two VLAN PPAs.

2. Use the

ifconfig(1M)

to configure a VLAN virtual device, for example:

The output of

ifconfig -a

on a system having VLAN devices

ce123000

and

ce224000

:

3. On the switch, set VLAN tagging and set VLAN ports to coincide with the VLANs

you’ve set up on the server.

Use the examples in Step 2, you would set up VLAN ports 123 and 224 on the
switch.

Refer to the documentation that came with your switch for specific instructions for
setting VLAN tagging and ports.
