4 – EVIC Configuration and Monitoring Features

3.Enable Ingress rules on Ethernet port 2 with the command vlanIngressRuleSet:

vlanIngressRuleSet eth 2 1

4.Allow packets in VLAN 11 to be sent over Ethernet port 2 with the command vlanMapMemberSet

vlanMapMemberSet eth 2 11 1

4.3.5.4.5

Additional Notes

All of these commands are active when issued, with the exception of the ethVirtIgnoreVlanSet command. This command takes effect the next time the virtPort comes up. A virtPort comes up when the ics_inic driver is started and the EVIC is also up. Therefore, either the EVIC must be rebooted or ics_inic must be restarted on the host at the other end of the virtPort. Restart ics_inic as follows:

/etc/init.d/ics_inic restart

Once done, any VLAN definitions made containing interfaces referenced in the ics_inic.cfg file need to be redone. In the case of this example, the command vconfig add eioc2 11 needs to be reissued.

Alternative VLAN Setup

This is an example explains how to setup two interfaces on a host, each on a different VLAN.

External Port 1

VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 Traffic

VLAN 10 Traffic	eioc10
VLAN 20 Traffic

NOTE: For this example, eioc10 will be on VLAN 10 and eioc20 will be on VLAN 20.

1. Host configuration. Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/ics_inic.cfg as follows:

{CREATE; NAME="eioc10";

PRIMARY={IOCGUID=0x66a01e1000abc; INSTANCE=10; PORT=1; } } {CREATE; NAME="eioc20";

PRIMARY={IOCGUID=0x66a01e1000abc; INSTANCE=20; PORT=1; } }

This sets up the two interfaces to the same external port 1 on the EVIC with a GUID of 00066A01E1000ABC. This is possible because each INSTANCE is
