Protocols And Standards; Evb Configuration Task List; Enabling Evb - HP 5920 series Configuration Manual

VDP manages the association between a VSI and a station-facing bridge port (SBP) on a bridge.
VDP uses the Edge Control Protocol (ECP) to carry VDP TLVs. A VDP TLV comprises the VSIID, VSI
type, and VSI version.
When a station creates a VM, it sends a VDP pre-associate, pre-associate with resource
reservation, or associate packet to the bridge. The bridge sends the request to a VSI manager. The
VSI manager notifies the bridge to create a VSI interface and apply policies.
When a station shuts down a VM, it sends a VDP de-associate packet to the bridge. The bridge
sends the request to the VSI manager. The VSI manager notifies the bridge to delete the VSI
interface.

Enabling EVB

Configuring LLDP
(Optional.)
(Optional.)
(Optional.) Configuring an S-channel:
•
Creating an S-channel
•
Configuring an S-channel interface or S-channel aggregate interface
•
Configuring the RR mode for an S-channel
•
Configuring MAC address learning for an S-channel
(Optional.) Configuring a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface:
•
Creating a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface
•
Configuring VSI filters
•
Activating a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface
Enabling EVB
Perform this task to enable EVB on an interface that directly connects to a station. After that, you must
configure the interface to operate in trunk mode. Otherwise, EVB does not work because VSI filter
configuration (see
After EVB is enabled on an interface, the device cannot perform Layer 3 forwarding to the data received
on the interface.
Specifying a default VSI manager
Configuring VDP negotiation parameters
"Configuring VSI filters") does not take effect.
