Znyx Networks bh5700 manual Global Statement Syntax, Trunk interface actions

entered as parameters to zconfig.

CONFIGURATION SYNTAX

zconfig takes configuration data from standard input or from a file with the -foption. In either case, the configuration syntax is the same. The zconfig configuration data consists of a list of semicolon-delimited statements. Each statement specifies an action to take globally or on an interface. An interface is one of three types: a network interface called ZNYX host port (zhp); a switch port interface called ZNYX Raw Ethernet (zre); or a trunk interface called ZNYX RainLink (zrl).

Comments, spaces and new lines are ignored. Comments begin with the # character and include characters through the next new line.

Global Statements

Global statements can be used to set modes of operation on a switch-wide basis. The only supported global statement is to set and teardown Double VLAN tag mode.

Global Statement Syntax:

Double VLAN tag mode is set and removed on a global basis with the following syntax.

dvlan 0x8100 0x9100; (or other unused ethertype) dvlan teardown;

The first option sets double vlan tag mode on all ports and establishes the outer tag id. The second tears down double vlan tag mode.

Trunk Interface Statements

A trunk interface statement begins with the trunk name followed by an equals sign and an action. Trunk interface statements are used to create or tear down trunks or define the rules to determine which member of the trunk should be used to transmit a packet

Trunk interface syntax:

zrl0 = <Trunk Interface Action>;

Trunk interface actions:
List of ports	Creates a trunk interface with the specified port
members. All of the ports specified		must not	be a	part of any
other trunk, or be individually included in any network
interface. Up to eight ports can be		included	in a	trunk.
