Data VLANS
Hypervisor-aware VLANs used for data traffic are automatically configured
according to the configuration parameters retrieved from the hypervisor by VSN as
part of the VLAN trunk on the switch port.
Use the
show vlan command to display the VSN hypervisor-learned VLANs on the
switch. As shown in Figure 7-2, VSN VLANs that have been automatically
configured are displayed with a
G tag in the left-most column and are associated with
ports marked with an
H tag. If a VSN VLAN has been manually configured on the
switch, the VLAN has no tag; the associated ports are displayed with an
H tag.

Hypervisor-unaware VLANs
VSN cannot discover VLAN configurations from a hypervisor. If an application
requires a hypervisor-unaware VLAN, you must configure the VLAN manually.
User-configured VLANs are not removed when VSN retrieves and updates a network
configuration.
Installing VSN
VSN is installed as a separate Open Automation package, apart from the Dell
Networking OS image and the downloaded Smart Scripting package. When you
install the VSN package, VSN is loaded into Dell Networking OS.
You install the VSN package file in the same way as you install an Dell Networking
OS release: directly from local flash memory on a switch or from an external drive on
a network server. Because the installation takes time, it is performed in the
background. When the download is complete, a message is displayed on the console.
The package installation updates the running-configuration file.
Note: VSN is not supported in stacked configurations; it is only supported on
standalone switches.
