HP Intelligent Management Center v7.0 VAN Fabric Manager Administrator Guide

Managing a TRILL network
To manage a TRILL network:
1. Create a DC in the VFM and import RBs to the DC. For more information, see "Adding a DC,"
and "Importing a network device."
2. Import RBs to the TRILL management module. For more information, see "Importing RBs."
3. Synchronize the RB configurations to the VFM. Make sure the VFM gets the most recent RB
configurations before you configure or maintain the TRILL network. For more information, see
"Synchronizing RBs."
4. Configure RBs and their interfaces to maintain the TRILL network. For more information, see
"Managing TRILL configuration of an interface."
Managing an SPBN
To manage an SPBN:
1. Create a DC in the VFM and import SPB devices to the DC. For more information, see "Adding
a DC," and "Importing a network device."
2. Import SPB devices to the SPB management module. For more information, see "Importing
devices."
3. Synchronize the SPB device configurations to the VFM. Make sure the VFM gets the most
recent SPB device configurations before you configure or maintain the SPBN. For more
information, see "Synchronizing SPBM configuration."
4. Configure the MST region for the SPB devices and enable the ISIS-SPBM function on their
interfaces. For more information, see "Configuring MST region parameters for multiple devices,"
and "Enabling/disabling SPBM on interfaces."
5. Prepare the B-VLAN plan. For more information, see"Creating a B-VLAN plan."
6. Create and deploy SPB services based on the B-VLAN plan. For more information, see "Adding
SPB services," and "Deploying SPB services."
7. Display and error-correct the SPBN as follows:
• Display the B-VLAN, VSI, and ACs of each SPB device. For more information, see"Viewing
SPBM configuration."
• Display the interface state. For more information, see"Managing interfaces."
• Locate the SPB devices that have the inconsistent configuration with the B-VLAN plan and
correct the configuration. For more information, see "Deploying the B-VLAN plan to SPB
devices."
• Audit SPB services. For more information, see"Auditing SPB services."
• Map an SPB service to the ECT index of another B-VLAN. For more information, see
"Performing ECT migration."
• Display details of all ACs to obtain the connectivity between the SPBN and customer
networks. For more information, see "Monitoring ACs."
Managing an EVI network
To manage an EVI network:
1. Create a DC in the VFM and import EVI devices to the DC. For more information, see" Adding
a DC," and "Importing a network device."
2. Import EVI devices to the EVI management module. For more information, see "Importing
devices."
3. Synchronize the EVI device configurations to the VFM component. Make sure the VFM gets
the most recent EVI device configurations before you configure or maintain the EVI network.
For more information, see "Synchronizing EVI configuration."
