R21xx-HP FlexFabric 11900 EVB Configuration Guide

When a station creates a VM, it sends a VDP pre-associate, pre-associate with resource

reservation, or associate packet to the bridge. The bridge sends the request to a VSI manager. The

VSI manager notifies the bridge to create a VSI and apply policies.

When a station shuts down a VM, it sends a VDP de-associate packet to the bridge. The bridge

sends the request to the VSI manager. The VSI manager notifies the bridge to delete the VSI.

EVB configuration task list

This document only describes EVB bridge configuration. For information about EVB station configuration,

see the station manual.

Tasks at a

lance

Enabling EVB

Configuring LLDP

(Optional.) Specifying a default VSI manager

(Optional.) Configuring VDP negotiation parameters

(Optional.) Configuring an S-channel:

• Creating an S-channel

• Configuring a description for an S-channel interface

• Configuring the RR mode for an S-channel

• Configuring MAC address learning for an S-channel

(Optional.) Configuring a VSI:

• Creating a VSI

• Configuring VSI filters

• Activating a VSI

Enabling EVB

Perform this task to enable EVB on a bridge port that directly connects to a station. After that, you must

configure the port to operate in trunk mode. Otherwise, EVB does not work because VSI filter

configuration (see "Configuring VSI filters") does n

ot take effect.
