Configuring EVB Overview Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) allows virtual machines (VMs) on a physical server to obtain bridge relay services through a common bridge port. It enables coordinated configuration and management of bridge services for VMs. Data center virtualization includes network virtualization, storage virtualization, and server virtualization.
Basic concepts Figure 2 shows the components on the EVB station and EVB bridge. Figure 2 EVB architecture • Edge Relay—An ER transfers packets between one URP and one or more DRPs. An ER has one or more DRPs and one URP. Both URP and DRPs are called ER ports. An EVB station can have multiple ERs.
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, and the VSI manager notifies the bridge to delete the VSI interface. An EVB station and an EVB bridge perform the following steps to manage VM traffic: Use CDCP to establish an S-channel.
Tasks at a glance (Optional.) Configuring a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface: • Creating a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface • Configuring a VSI filter • 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. For VSI filter configuration (see "Configuring a VSI filter") to take effect, you must configure the interface to...

• After you disable the MAC address learning function for an S-channel, the bridge will discard packets with an unknown source MAC address. • The undo evb mac-learning forbidden command and the mac-address mac-learning enable command must be configured together to avoid communication interruption. For more information about the mac-address mac-learning enable command, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Command References.
Step Command Remarks an S-channel. Configuring a VSI filter The EVB bridge uses a VSI filter to identify VSI traffic for a VM. Typically a VSI manager assigns filters to VMs. Perform this task to manually create or remove a VSI filter. A VSI filter contains a set of VID values, MAC addresses, and group ID values.
The Layer 2 aggregate interface where the S-channel that is associated with the S-channel aggregate interface is created. • Do not create a VSI filter that contains the same VLAN on the same VSI aggregate interface or on other VSI aggregate interfaces that belong to the same S-channel aggregate interface. If you do so, the system displays an error message.

Configuring the EVB station Configure the EVB station on the VMM. For more information about configuring VMs through the VMM, see the VMM manual. (Details not shown.) Configuring the NMS Use VAN Connection Manager of IMC on the NMS to configure network resources. The IMC PLAT 5.2 (E0401) and IMC CRM 5.2 (E0401) versions are used in this section.
