A SmartFabric created on PowerEdge MX versions 1.20.10 or later has support for large VLAN counts enabled by default. For a SmartFabric created with OME-M prior to version 1.20.10, you must manually enable support for VLAN counts larger than 256 per fabric. After upgrading to OME-M 1.20.10 or later, support for larger VLAN count is automatically enabled even on SmartFabrics created prior to OME-M 1.20.10.
To enable this support, perform the following steps:
- Download the script titled Set-ScaleVLANProfile.ps1 from the GitHub repository.
- Copy this script to any folder or directory.
- Open PowerShell and change the path to the directory where the script was copied.
- Execute the script.
- Enter the IP address of the OME-M instance that manages the switch being replaced. In this example, the OME-M Instance IP is 100.67.XX.XX.
- Provide the credentials for the OME-M instance.
- When prompted, enter Enabled to enable the scale-vlan-profile. To disable the profile, enter Disabled.
- Using the cursor, select the SmartFabric to enable the scale-vlan-profile on. If successful, the script will indicate success.
- To verify that the scale-vlan-profile has been enabled, access a switch CLI that is part of the fabric and execute the show running-configuration command. If successful, the entry
scale-profile vlan
will be listed in the configuration.
