Chapter 5 Configuring VLANs 67
▼ To Configure Static VLANs
1. Create one hostname6.cenumber file for each VLAN that will be configured for
each adapter on the server.
Use the following naming format that includes both the VID and the physical point
of attachment (PPA):
VLAN logical PPA = 1000 * VID + Device PPA
ce123000 = 1000*123 + ce
This format limits the maximum number of PPAs (instances) you can configure to
1000 in the /etc/path_to_inst file.
For example, on a server with the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter having an
instance of 0, that belongs to a member of two VLANs, with VID 123 and 224, you
would use ce123000 and ce224000, respectively, as the two VLAN PPAs.
2. Use the ifconfig(1M) to configure a VLAN virtual device, for example:
The output of ifconfig -a on a system having VLAN devices ce123000 and
ce224000:
3. On the switch, set VLAN tagging and set VLAN ports to coincide with the VLANs
you’ve set up on the server.
Use the examples in Step 2, you would set up VLAN ports 123 and 224 on the
switch.
Refer to the documentation that came with your switch for specific instructions for
setting VLAN tagging and ports.
