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

Viewing the B-VLAN plan
To view the B-VLAN plan:
1. From the navigation tree, select Service > VAN Fabric Manager > LAN Configuration > SPB.
2. Click the B-VLAN Plan tab.
The tab displays a toolbar and a B-VLAN list.
Toolbar
• Add—Add a B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mapping. For more information, see "Adding a
B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mapping."
• Delete—Delete a B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mapping. For more information, see "Removing
B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mappings."
• Import from Devices—Import B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mappings from devices to the
B-VLAN plan. For more information, see "Importing B-VLAN ID to ECT algorithm mappings
from devices."
• Refresh—Refresh the B-VLAN plan.
B-VLAN List contents
• B-VLAN ID—Displays in different colors to help you identify the ECT algorithm mapping
consistency for the VLAN in the SPB network.
◦ Red—The B-VLAN ID is not mapped to the ECT algorithm index in this plan on at
least one SPB device. Click the B-VLAN ID to view devices that are incompliant with
the plan. For more information, see "Deploying the B-VLAN plan to SPB devices."
◦ Blue—The B-VLAN ID is mapped to the ECT algorithm index in this plan across the
SPB network.
• ECT Index—ECT algorithm index mapped to the B-VLAN. To forward traffic to each other
in a B-VLAN, SPB devices must have the same B-VLAN ID to ECT algorithm index mapping.
• Modify—Click the Modify icon for a B-VLAN to modify its ECT algorithm index. For
more information, see "Remapping a B-VLAN to an ECT algorithm index."
Querying B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mapping
To query a B-VLAN:
1. Access the B-VLAN list page.
2. Use one of the following methods:
• To perform a quick query, enter a complete B-VLAN ID in the query field, and click the
Query icon .
• To perform an advanced query, click the Expand icon next to the query field, specify
query criteria, and then click Query.
Query criteria include the following items:
◦ B-VLAN ID—Enter a complete B-VLAN ID.
◦ ECT Index—Select All or an ECT algorithm index in the range of 1 to 16.
Empty fields are ignored.
The B-VLAN List displays all B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mappings that match the query criteria.
