Related Commands

Command
Description

delete software version

Remove the specified version of software from the storage router.

download software

Download the list of available software versions or the specified version of software from the named location.

show software version

Display a list of software versions available on the storage router, including the currently running version and the version that will run the next time the storage router is restarted.


vlan

To configure a VLAN on the storage router, use the vlan command. To delete a VLAN, use the no form of this command.

vlan vid [name vlan_name] [mtusize nn]

no vlan vid [force]

Syntax Description

vid

VLAN identification (VID) number. Enter an integer from 1 to 4095.

name vlan_name

(Optional) The name of the VLAN, which can be up to 32 characters in length. If not specified, the default VLAN name has VLAN as the prefix followed by the VID, left padded to four bytes (for example, VLAN0002, or VLAN0045).

mtusize nn

The size of the maximum transfer unit, in bytes. nn is an integer from 1500 to 9000. The default MTU is 1500.

force

(Optional) Keyword that overrides normal protections, allowing the action to be performed.


Defaults

The default VLAN name is comprised of the prefix VLAN and the VID, left padded to four bytes. The default MTU size is 1500.

Command Modes

Administrator.

Usage Guidelines

In a cluster environment, VLAN management functions are handled by a single storage router. To determine which storage router is performing VLAN management functions, issue the show cluster command. If you issue the vlan command from a storage router that is not performing VLAN management functions, the CLI displays an informational message with the name of the node that is currently handling those functions. Refer to the appropriate Cisco Storage Router Software Configuration Guide for your storage router model for more information about operating the storage router in a cluster.

VLANs are a cluster-wide configuration item. When configured and saved to the bootable configuration, HA communications will propagate the VLAN information to all storage routers in the cluster. You can configure a maximum of 16 logical interfaces (VLANs associated with IP addresses) per physical Gigabit Ethernet interface in the storage router or cluster.

VLAN information can only be configured when the storage router is in VTP Transparent mode. In transparent mode, received VTP packets are ignored and VLAN configuration information is retrieved from the high availability cluster.

The storage router uses 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation to carry VLAN information on packets sent and received on the Gigabit Ethernet interface. The 802.1Q packet tag is a four-byte field inserted between the source MAC address and ether-type fields in the layer 2 header. It consists of a two-byte Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) field and a two-byte Tag Control Information (TCI) field. The TPID contains the "protocol type" field (0x8100), which identifies the packet as a valid 802.1Q tagged packet. The TCI contains the 12-bit VLAN Identifier (VID) field and a 3-bit User Priority (UP) field.

Use the vlan command to locally configure VLANs when the storage router is connected to a switched network that does not support VTP but does support 802.1Q VLANs.

VLANs can only be deleted if they are not in use. Use the force keyword to bypass this restriction and delete a VLAN that is currently in use.

Examples

The following set of commands places the storage router in VTP Transparent mode and configures a VLAN named weblan001 on the storage router. The VID is 45.

[SN5428-2A]# vtp mode transparent
[SN5428-2A]# Jul 30 15:24:02:Vtp:AS_NOTICE :VTP changed to transparent mode
[SN5428-2A]# vlan 45 name weblan001
[SN5428-2A]# Jul 30 15:25:45:Vtp:AS_NOTICE :VLAN 45 added (name=VLAN0045, mtu=1500)

Command
Description

restore vlan

Restore VLAN configuration information from the named configuration file.

save all

Save all configuration information, including VLAN information.

save scsirouter

Save configuration information for the named SCSI routing instance.

save system

Save selected system configuration information, including VLAN information.

save vlan

Save configuration information for the named VLAN or all VLANs.

scsirouter serverif

Assign a Gigabit Ethernet interface, IP address, and optionally a VLAN to the named SCSI routing instance.

slp findattrs

Display configuration and operational information for VTP.

vtp domain

Assign a VTP domain name to the storage router.

vtp mode

Configure the storage router to operate in client or transparent VTP mode.


vtp domain

To assign a VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) domain name to the storage router, use the vtp domain command. VLAN information will not be accepted from a switch which is in a different domain.

vtp domain {domain_name | none}

Syntax Description

domain_name

The name of the domain to which the storage router belongs.

none

The storage router is not assigned to a specific domain. If the storage router is in VTP Client mode, it will assign itself to the first domain from which it receives a VTP message. This is the default.


Defaults

None. The storage router will assign itself to the first domain from which it receives a VTP message.

Command Modes

Administrator.

Usage Guidelines

In a cluster environment, VTP configuration functions are handled by a single storage router. To determine which storage router is performing VTP configuration functions, issue the show cluster command. The storage router that is performing VLAN management also performs VTP configuration. If you issue the vtp domain command from a storage router that is not performing VTP configuration functions, the CLI displays an informational message with the name of the node that is currently handling those functions. Refer to the appropriate Cisco Storage Router Software Configuration Guide for your storage router model for more information about operating the storage router in a cluster.

The VTP domain name applies to all storage routers participating in a cluster. The VTP domain name is a cluster-wide configuration setting. When the VTP domain name is set using the vtp domain command and saved to the boot configuration file (via a save all or save system command), an HA exchange occurs and the VTP domain name will become active on all storage routers in the cluster.

Examples

The following example sets the VTP domain name to Lab_Network:

[SN5428-2A]# vtp domain Lab_Network

Usage Guidelines

In a cluster environment, VTP configuration functions are handled by a single storage router. To determine which storage router is performing VTP configuration functions, issue the show cluster command. The storage router that is performing VLAN management also performs VTP configuration. If you issue the vtp mode command from a storage router that is not performing VTP configuration functions, the CLI displays an informational message with the name of the node that is currently handling those functions. Refer to the appropriate Cisco Storage Router Software Configuration Guide for your storage router model for more information about operating the storage router in a cluster.

VTP operates in either client or transparent mode. In client mode, the storage router exchanges VTP packets with a locally connected switch to learn about the VLANs available in the network. In transparent mode, VTP packets are ignored and VLAN information is pulled directly from the storage router cluster configuration.

When operating as a VTP client, the storage router sends a VTP advertisement when one of the following events occur:

The Gigabit Ethernet interface on any storage router in the cluster transitions to the up state and a valid domain name has either been configured or previously learned.

The VTP domain name changes.

A VTP summary advertisement is received with a higher configuration revision.

The switch replies to the storage router with a summary advertisement, followed by one or more subset advertisements.

When operating in transparent mode, the storage router ignores any VTP packets it may receive. VLANs are configured using the GUI or the CLI vlan command. Use transparent mode when the storage router is connected to a switched network that does not support VTP but does support 802.1Q VLANs.

Examples

The following example places the storage router in VTP Transparent mode:

[SN5428-2A]# vtp mode transparent
