Creating a virtual device
Required
You can add a member to a virtual device only after the virtual device is
created.
The virtual root device exists by default, so you do not need to create it.
Adding an interface to a
virtual device
Optional
After you add a specified Layer 3 interface to the created virtual device, the
interface will be managed by the virtual device.
By default, all Layer 3 interfaces belong to the virtual root device.
Note:
You can only perform this configuration on the virtual root device only, and on
other virtual devices, you can only view the interface members of the current
virtual device. For how to select a virtual device, see “Selecting a virtual
dev
ice.”
Adding VLANs to a virtual
device
Optional
After you add a specified VLAN to the created virtual device, the VLAN will be
managed by the virtual device.
By default, all VLANs belong to the virtual root device.
Selecting a virtual device
Optional
You can configure security zone management, access control policy and
blacklist on the current virtual device only. If you need to select another virtual
device, you can perform this configuration.
By default, the current virtual device is the virtual root device.
