Configuring VSAN Interfaces
VSANs apply to Fibre Channel fabrics and enable you to configure multiple isolated SAN topologies
within the same physical infrastructure. You can create an IP interface on top of a VSAN and then use
this interface to send frames to this VSAN. To use this feature, you must configure the IP address for
this VSAN. VSAN interfaces cannot be created for nonexisting VSANs.
Follow these guidelines when creating or deleting VSAN interfaces:
•
•
•
•
After configuring the VSAN interface, you can configure an IP address or Virtual Router Redundancy

Configuring CIM

Common Information Model (CIM) is an object-oriented information model that extends the existing
standards for describing management information in a network/enterprise environment. CIM messages
are independent of platform and implementation because they are encoded in N Extensible Markup
Language (XML). CIM consists of a specification and a schema. The specification defines the syntax
and rules for describing management data and integrating with other management models. The schema
provides the actual model descriptions for systems, applications, networks, and devices.
For more information about CIM, refer to the specification available through the Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF) website at the following URL:
For further information about Cisco MDS 9000 Family support for CIM servers, refer to the Cisco MDS
9000 Family CIM Programming Reference Guide.
A CIM client is required to access the CIM server. The client can be any client that supports CIM.

Added Security on a CIM Server

For added security, you can install an SSL certificate to encrypt the logon information and enable the
HTTPS server before enabling the CIM server. The CIM server is disabled by default. If you do not
enable the HTTPS server, the standard HTTP server is enabled (default).

11-22
Create a VSAN before creating the interface for that VSAN. If a VSAN does not exist, the interface
cannot be created.
Create the interface VSAN—it is not created automatically.
If you delete the VSAN, the attached interface is automatically deleted.
Configure each interface only in one VSAN.
