Avaya Virtual Services Platform 9000 Configuration; Configuring Vlans Using The Acli - Avaya VSP 9000 Technical Configuration Manual

4.1 Avaya Virtual Services Platform 9000
Configuration
This section describes how to configure the Avaya VSP 9000. To allow for full utilization of the network for
SAN storage, Coraid recommends isolating SAN storage networks from other network traffic.
Note – In this test setup, STP is disabled on all connected ports for faster transition time when a

port is unplugged and plugged during. Also, the specific VLANs and ports used have no special
significance and therefore can be changed at the user's discretion.

4.1.1 Configuring VLANs using the ACLI

Configure VLAN 100 and ensure that all ports connected to the Coraid HBAs and SRX-Series appliances
are in VLAN 100. The following steps show how to configure the VLAN using the ACLI:
1 Enter the Privilege Exec context:
VSP9000:1>enable
2 Enter the Global Configuration context:
VSP9000:1# configure terminal
3 Create the port based VLAN 100:
VSP9000:1(config)# vlan create 100 name SAN type port-mstprstp 1
4 Remove the ports from the default VLAN 1:
VSP9000:1(config)# vlan members remove 1 3/1-3/9,6/1-6/9
5 Add ports to the VLAN 100:
VSP9000:1(config)# vlan members add 100 3/1-3/9,6/1-6/9
