VLAN Tagging on vnic

[claudio.danduono82]

Hi there,

this is my first experience with cisco UCS and I have some problems about vlan tagging and trunking concepts implementation.

VLAN trunking: actually works; I declared all vlans on the dynamic vnic and it looks ok, so, the profiles for vmware are working
VLAN tagging: I don't understand how to do it; in a previous version of the ucs gui, in the vNIC creation, there was the VLAN trunking Yes or No selection that allowed (I think) to simply tag a VLAN on the vnic. I need to tag the VLAN on a vNIC for the baremetal installations.

Do you have any idea?

Thank you

Claudio

Hi Claudio

This question vlan trunking yes or no was indeed weird; the internal implementation of UCS uses always trunking, therefore this question doesn't make sense, and was removed.

If your OS can handle a vlan trunk on a vnic, just select all the vlans you need.

If you have a OS with lots of vnics, with only one vlan per vnic, you tag them as native (therefore no tagging). Your OS is not configured for vlan trunking.

Cheers Walter.
