3. Disable MAC address
learning for the S-channel.
evb mac-learning forbidden
By default, the MAC address
learning function is enabled for an
S-channel.
IMPORTANT:
• For an S-channel with RR mode
disabled, do not disable its
MAC address learning
function. Otherwise, the bridge
might fail to forward traffic for
VMs on the EVB station.
• After you disable the MAC
address learning function for
an S-channel, the bridge will
discard packets with an
unknown source MAC address.
Configuring a VSI
Creating a VSI
VSIs are typically created by a VSI manager. You can also create a VSI or modify its Pre-Associate and
Associate properties.
A VSI is a subinterface of an S-channel interface on an EVB bridge. Removing an S-channel also removes
all its VSIs.
To create a VSI:

3. Create a VSI.
evb vsi vsi-local-id { association |
pre-association }
By default, no VSI exists on an
S-channel.
Configuring VSI filters
A VSI filter contains a set of VID values (VLAN information) or a set of MAC and VID values (<MAC,
VLAN>). The EVB bridge uses a VSI filter to identify VSI traffic for a VM. Filters are usually assigned by
a VSI manager. You can also manually create or remove VSI filters by performing this task.
Follow these guidelines when you configure VSI filters for VSIs on an S-channel:
• Before the configuration, make sure the S-channel where you configure a VSI filter operates in trunk
mode. Otherwise, the configuration fails.
