Displaying Ethernet networks

To display Ethernet network properties, use the show network command:

Summary of all networks
>show network

Details for all networks
>show network *

Details for a single network
>show network MyNetwork

Adding Ethernet networks to a network access group

To add existing network access groups to an existing network, use the add nag-network command:

>add nag-network Nag=DatabaseNetGroup Network=Net1,Net2

The networks become members of the specified network access group in addition to all the previously

configured network access groups.
To modify the network access groups of an existing network, use the set network command:

>set network Net1 nags=NetGroup1,NetGroup2

The specified network now belongs to the specified network access groups and is no longer the member of

previously configured network access groups.

Creating an Ethernet network that uses network access groups

To create a network that is assigned to network access groups DatabaseNetGroup and AccessNetGroup,
use the add network command:

>add network Network1 nags=DatabaseNetGroup,AccessNetGroup

Adding uplink ports to an Ethernet network

To add uplink ports to an existing Ethernet network, use the add uplinkport command:

>add uplinkport enc0:1:1 network=MyNetwork

Modifying uplink port properties

To modify an uplink port that exists as a member of a network or shared uplink set, use the set uplinkport

command:

>set uplinkport network=Network1 speed=1Gb

Creating a shared uplink set

To create a shared uplink set, use the add uplinkset command:

>add uplinkset MyUplinkSetName

A shared uplink set identifies VC-Enet module uplinks that carry multiple networks over the same cable or set

of cables. In this case, each Ethernet packet carries a VLAN tag (IEEE 802.1Q) to identify the specific

network to which it belongs. On shared uplinks, the VLAN tags are added when packets leave the

VC-enabled enclosure and are removed when packets enter the enclosure. The external Ethernet switch and
VCM must be configured to use the same VLAN tag identifier (a number between 1 and 4094) for each

network.
