If your switch is not a SuperStack II 1100 or 3300, follow the procedures for your switch.
Configuring the Ethernet Switch for the VCN Access Concentrator
This section describes the procedure for configuring the Ethernet switch.
Sequence of Configuration
The following is the sequence of configuration actions:
1Define the desired VLANs, if any, on your switch.
2Define the MAC addresses for all of the 24 VCN AC ports and all APs attached to the AC.
3Connect the VCN AC.
Defining the VLANs after the VCN AC and AP MAC addresses may make some of the addresses inaccessible.
The default VCN AC VLAN for management is VLAN 1 tagged.
If MAC addresses are not defined before the VCN AC is connected, the switch will flood the entire network with the initial messages sent through the VCN AC, since the destination addresses are unknown.
Not more than one VCN AC may be connected to a switch.
The remainder of this section describes the procedure for defining MAC addresses for the VCN AC and VCN APs.
