Usage Guidelines
VMANs allow you to establish a private path through the public network.
After you create the VMAN, you must configure the VMAN tag plus adding the ports that you want.
NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, all VMAN ports are automatically enabled for jumbo frames to accommodate the
added VMAN tag. On the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch, you must enable
jumbo frames on the switch
If you do not specify the virtual router, the VMAN is created in the current virtual router.
NOTE
You cannot have both VLANs and VMANs on the same module on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches
(formerly known as Aspen). Although both VLANs and VMANs can span modules, they cannot co-exist on the same
module.
To configure a VMAN, follow these steps:
1 Create the tunnel by creating the VMAN.
2 If you are working on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches or the Summit X450 switch, enable
