VLAN 333 has been successfully tagged to Trk3.

On the server side, complete the following steps:

1.Create link aggregate lan900 using ports lan3 and lan4. Enter:

#lanadmin -a 3 4 900 Added ports:3 4 to lan900

2.Create the VLAN with ID 333 over lan900. Enter:

#lanadmin -V create vlanid 333 900 Successfully configured.

Configuring VLANs over Failover Groups

You can improve the availability of VLANs by configuring VLANs over a failover group. To ensure success, each port (or link aggregate) used in the failover group must be tagged with the IDs of the VLANs to be created over it. Before creating the failover group, you must decide the ports to include in the failover group.

Figure D-2 (page 115) shows the failover group lan902 consisting of MANUAL link aggregate lan901 as the port with ports lan5 and lan6 as the standby ports. To protect against switch failures, link aggregate lan901 is connected through Switch 1, and ports lan5 and lan6 are connected to Switch 2. Switches 1 and 2 are connected to each other as well as the outgoing network. Two VLANs, with IDs 333 and 334, operate over failover group lan902.
