Znyx Networks bh5700 manual Zconfig Configures the OpenArchitect switch

zconfig

NAME

zconfig - Configures the OpenArchitect switch.

SYNOPSIS

zconfig [-h <host_name>] [-d <level>] [-a] [-t] [{-f <file>} <configuration>]

DESCRIPTION

zconfig creates Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) groups of switch ports or trunks. Each VLAN group forms a Layer 2 switching domain. Each VLAN group has a VLAN Identification number (VID) that can be carried in a tag field, located in the header of packets traveling on that VLAN. The configuration of a port determines whether a packet transmitted from that port includes the VLAN tag. A set of up to eight ports may be configured as a trunk, with all links from these ports connect to the same link partner. For each VLAN group created by zconfig, a network interface is also created. After the network interface is started by ifconfig(1M), the VLAN group performs Layer 2 switching. The network interface can be used for Layer 3 routing between VLAN groups.

A network interface uses the following format:

zhpN (e.g., zhp0)

N-is an integer between 0 and 9999. The value of N is not required to be the same as any of the port(s) that are its members. The range 0-4999 is reserved for network interfaces created by users. The range 5000-9999 is reserved for network interfaces created by switch applications.

A trunk uses the format zrlK, where K is an integer between 0 and 31.

OPTIONS

-h <hostname> Specifies the hostname to configure. By default, zconfig configures the local OpenArchitect switch.

-d <level> Sets the level of debugging output produced by zconfig. The default level is 1. Setting the debug level higher produces more output. The maximum output level is currently four (4).

-a Displays the current configuration of the switch. -t Tears down the entire switch configuration.

{-f <file>} <configuration>

Gets configuration information from the specified file. A <file> name of ‘+’ reads configuration data from standard
