Before creating the SmartFabric, the initial set of VLANs should be created. The first VLAN to be created should be the default, or native VLAN, typically VLAN 1. The default VLAN must be created for any untagged traffic to cross the fabric.
Note: VLAN 1 will be created as a Default VLAN when the first fabric is created.
To define VLANs using the OME-M console, perform the following steps.
Open the OME-M console.
From the navigation menu, click Configuration > VLANs.
Note: In OME-M 1.10.20 and earlier, the VLANs screen is titled Networks.
In the VLANs pane, click Define.
In the Define Network window, complete the following:
Enter a name for the VLAN in the Name box. In this example, VLAN0010 was used.
Optionally, enter a description in the Description box. In this example, the description was entered as “Company A General Purpose”.
Enter the VLAN number in the VLAN ID box. In this example, 10 was entered.
From the Network Type list, select the desired network type. In this example, General Purpose (Bronze) was used.
Click Finish.
The following figure shows VLAN 1 and VLAN 10 after being created using the previous steps.
