Configure Eaps Add Control Vlan - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Manual

ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.

configure eaps add control vlan

configure eaps <name> add control vlan <vlan_name>
Description
Adds the specified control VLAN to the specified EAPS domain.
Syntax Description
name
vlan_name
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
You must configure one control VLAN for each EAPS domain. The control VLAN is used only to send
and receive EAPS messages.
The VLAN that will act as the control VLAN must be configured as follows:
The VLAN must NOT be assigned an IP address, to avoid loops in the network.
●
Only ring ports may be added as members of the control VLAN.
●
The ring ports of the control VLAN must be tagged.
●
A control VLAN cannot belong to more than one EAPS domain. When the EAPS domain is active, you
cannot delete or modify the configuration of the control VLAN.
By default, EAPS protocol data units (PDUs) are automatically assigned an 802.1p priority of seven.
With a priority of seven, EAPS PDUs take precedence within the EAPS topology thereby giving priority
to EAPS traffic, including EAPS control VLAN traffic and control VLAN messages. This ensures that the
control VLAN messages reach their intended destinations. You do not need to configure a QoS profile
for the control VLAN.
However, if you have a protected (data) VLAN with a QoS profile of QP8, you may need to create a
QoS profile of QP8 for the control VLAN. Whether you need to configure the control VLAN with a QoS
profile of QP8 depends entirely on your configuration.
NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 8800 original modules and the Summit X450 series switch, assigning a QoS profile to the
control VLAN affects the amount of available ACL masks. For more information see
