Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions 6600 manual Assigning and Removing MAC Addresses

Configuring High Availability VLANs

You can also remove multiple egress ports by entering vlan, followed by the VLAN’s ID number, port- mac no egress-port, the slot number of the first port, a slash (/), the port number of the first port, a space, the slot number of the second port, a slash, and the port number of the second port. Additional ports can also be removed by specifying their slot number, a slash, and their port number preceded by a space.

For example, to remove egress port 1/5, 6/2, and 8/3 from high availability VLAN 20 you would enter:

-> vlan 20 port-mac no egress-port 1/5 6/2 8/3

You can also remove a range of egress ports by entering vlan, followed by the VLAN’s ID number, port- mac no egress-port, the slot number of the first port, a slash (/), the port number of the first port on the NI, a hyphen (-), and the last port on the NI.

For example, to remove egress port 3/4 through 3/8 from high availability VLAN 20 enter:

-> vlan 20 port-mac no egress-port 3/4-8

You can remove multiple and ranges of egress ports in the same command line. For example, to remove egress ports 1/5, 3/4 through 3/8, 6/2, and 8/3 from high availability VLAN 20 you would enter:

-> vlan 20 port-mac no egress-port 1/5 3/4-8 6/2 8/3

Note. Removing the last ingress/egress port from an HA VLAN is not allowed. Deleting the VLAN is required when there is only one ingress/egress port left in the VLAN.

Assigning and Removing MAC Addresses

The following subsections describe how to assign and remove MAC addresses from a high availability VLAN with the mac-address-tableport-mac vlan mac command. Traffic that is received on ingress ports that contains a destination MAC address that matches the high availability VLAN address is sent out all egress ports that belong to the high availability VLAN.

Note. Using the mac-address-tableport-mac vlan mac command will change a standard VLAN to a high availability VLAN. Standard VLAN commands do not apply to high availability VLANs.

Assigning MAC Addresses

To assign a MAC address to a high availability VLAN, use the mac-address-tableport-mac vlan mac command by entering mac-address-tableport-mac vlan, followed by the VLAN’s ID number, mac, and the MAC address. Note that both unicast and multicast addresses are supported.

For example, to assign the MAC address 00:25:9a:5c:2f:10 to high availability VLAN 20 you would enter:

-> mac-address-table port-mac vlan 20 mac 00:25:9a:5c:2f:10

To add more than one MAC address to a high availability VLAN, enter each address on the same command line separated by a space. For example, to assign MAC addresses 00:25:9a:5c:2f:11, 00:25:9a:5c:12, and 01:00:00:3f:4c:10, to high availability VLAN 30, you would enter:

-> mac-address-table port-mac vlan 30 mac 00:25:9a:5c:2f:11 00:25:9a:5c:12 01:00:00:3f:4c:10.
