Zconfig - HP bh5700 User Manual

zconfig

NAME
zconfig - Configures the OpenArchitect switch.
SYNOPSIS
zconfig [-h <host_name>] [-d <level>] [-a] [-t] [{-f <file>} |
<configuration>]
DESCRIPTION
zconfig creates VLAN groups of switch ports or trunks. Each VLAN group forms a Layer 2
switching domain. Each VLAN group has a VLAN Identification number (VID) that can be
carried in a tag field, located in the header of packets traveling on that VLAN. The configuration
of a port determines whether a packet transmitted from that port includes the VLAN tag. A set of
up to eight ports may be configured as a trunk, with all links from these ports connect to the same
link partner. For each VLAN group created by zconfig, a network interface is also created.
After the network interface is started by ifconfig(1M), the VLAN group performs Layer 2
switching. The network interface can be used for Layer 3 routing between VLAN groups.
A network interface uses the following format:
zhpN (for example, zhp0)
N-is an integer between 0 and 9999. The value of N is not required to be the same as any of the
port(s) that are its members. The range 0-4999 is reserved for network interfaces created by users.
The range 5000-9999 is reserved for network interfaces created by switch applications.
A trunk uses the format zrlK, where K is an integer between 0 and 31, though only 24 ports
actually may be used on the base board.
