   May 7, 2005  Leave a comment

Attention

Tasman Networks is now Nortel Networks, so below sample configuration and commends might be slightly different. Please be aware of this. Good luck!


1. Layer 2 VLAN tagging information

– Performs MAC learning and forward intelligently
– VLAN protocol type configurable per interface or globally
– Supports 4095 VLAN ids
– Supported interface; Ethernet, BCP/MLBCP, FR/MLFR, AVC
– Manageable via in-band management VLAN
– Tasman can receive Ethernet packets, encapsulate in VLAN and forward them based on a static VLAN forwarding table
– Packets are tagged inthe inbound direction of an interface, if VLAN tag id is configured on the interfaces
– Packets are untagged in the outbound direction of a VLAN tagged interface

 
2. Useful commands

– To create a VLAN id

tasman/configure/interface/boundleID/valn> vlanid <#>


; note: You don’t need to change MTU size unless it goes above 1522 bytes

– To setup VLAN forwarding

tasman/configure> vlanfwd

  • Add – Configures a VLAN or a range of VLAN IDs to be forwarded
  • Enable – Enables or disables VLAN forwarding
  • Ether_type – Configures the Ethernet type for VLAN forwarding
  • Management – Accesses the commands for VLAN forwarding management. this allows user to enable in-band management using a VLAN


3. Sample configuration (SR1004)

tasman> conf t
tasman/configure>vlanfwd
tasman/configure/vlanfwd>management
tasman/configure/vlanfwd/management>vlanid 20
tasman/configure/vlanfwd/management>ip_address 10.1.1.200
tasman/configure/vlanfwd/management>disable_ipfwd
tasman/configure/vlanfwd/management>default_route 10.1.1.1 ethernet0
tasman/configure/vlanfwd/management>exit
tasman> save local system.cfg
