VLAN Commands

A VLAN, or virtual LAN, is a set of nodes that are grouped together into a single logical network,

regardless of their physical location. Multiple VLANs may share the same physical Ethernet links.

The VMA SAN Gateway uses a separate VLAN for low-latency, low-bandwidth communication

between the HP VMA SAN Gateways in a redundant gateway configuration. Using VLAN

commands, interfaces may be configured on a separate VLAN to allow for the segregation of

network and inter-gateway traffic.

Network switches must be configured to provide a VLAN for inter-gateway traffic in the system.

Each network switch port connected to a HP VMA SAN Gateway should be configured to allow

VLAN-tagged traffic for the given VLAN ID.
