DescriptionName
Fora singleVLAN, this is the VLAN name. For a range of VLANs,
thisis the prefix that the system uses for each VLAN name.
TheVLAN name is casesensitive.
Thisname can be between 1 and 32 alphanumeric characters. You
cannotuse spaces or any special characters other than - (hyphen), _
(underscore),: (colon), and . (period), and you cannot change this name
afterthe object has beensaved.
VLANName/Prefix field
Youcan choose one of the following:
•Common/Global—TheVLANs apply to both fabrics and use the
sameconfiguration parameters in both cases
•FabricA—The VLANs only apply to fabric A.
•FabricB—The VLAN only apply to fabric B.
•BothFabrics Configured Differently—The VLANs apply to
bothfabrics but you can specify different VLAN IDs for each
fabric.
Forupstream disjointL2 networks, we recommendthat you choose
Common/Globalto create VLANs that apply to both fabrics.
Configurationoptions
Tocreate one VLAN, enter a single numeric ID. To create multiple
VLANs,enter individual IDs or ranges of IDs separated by commas.
AVLAN ID can:
•Bebetween 1 and3967
•Bebetween 4048 and4093
•Overlapwith other VLANIDs already defined onthe system
Forexample, to create six VLANs with the IDs 4, 22, 40, 41, 42, and
43,you would enter 4, 22, 40-43.
Youcannot create VLANs with IDs from 3968 to 4047.
Thisrange of VLANIDs is reserved.
VLANsin the LAN cloud and FCoEVLANs in the SAN
cloudmust have different IDs. Using the same ID for a
VLANand an FCoE VLAN in a VSAN results in a critical
faultand traffic disruption for all vNICs and uplink ports
usingthat VLAN. Ethernet traffic is dropped on any VLAN
whichhas an ID that overlaps with an FCoE VLAN ID.
