Enabling Dynamic Vlan Configuration - OmniSwitch os6900 Network Configuration Manual

Configuring Profiles
•
If a rule is a member of multiple policy lists but one or more of these lists are disabled, the rule is still
active for those lists that are enabled.
•
If the QoS status of an individual rule is disabled, then the rule is disabled for all policy lists, even if a
list to which the policy belongs is enabled.
•
Policy lists are not active on the switch until the qos apply command is issued.
Use the show policy list
For more information about configuring QoS/ACL policy lists, see
in Chapter 25, "Configuring QoS."

Enabling Dynamic VLAN Configuration

When a VLAN classification UNP is created, it is possible to specify the VLAN ID of a VLAN that does
not exist in the switch configuration. The UNP feature provides the ability to enable dynamic VLAN
configuration, which allows "on the fly" configuration of VLANs as they are needed.
When dynamic VLAN configuration is enabled and a profile is created with a VLAN that does not exist,
UNP will create that VLAN at the time the profile is created. By default, dynamic VLAN configuration is
disabled for the switch. To enable this functionality, use the
-> unp dynamic-vlan-configuration enable
Use the disable option with the dynamic-vlan-configuration command to disable dynamic configuration.
-> unp dynamic-vlan-configuration disable
Dynamic VLAN configuration is a global UNP setting that applies to all profiles. To verify if this setting
is enabled or disabled, use the
Consider the following when enabling dynamic VLAN configuration:
•
The VLAN status and other port (non-UNP port) assignments are configurable using standard VLAN
commands. In addition, the STP status of the VLAN is configurable and enabled by default when the
dynamic VLAN is created.
•
A dynamic VLAN cannot be deleted using standard VLAN commands (no vlan vlan_id).
•
UNP dynamic VLANs are identified as a separate type of VLAN. The vlan show commands will
display this type with the default name of "UNP-DYN-VLAN" and the designated type as "UNP
Dynamic Vlan". For example:
-> show vlan 450

•
Dynamic VLANs are not saved in the "! VLAN:" section of the switch configuration file (boot.cfg).
However, the unp commands to enable dynamic VLAN configuration and create the UNP are saved in
the "! DA-UNP:" section of boot.cfg (see the following sample boot.cfg file). As a result, the VLAN is
created again on the next switch bootup.
