Networks and Bridges Commands

networks network

To add a bridge to a network, use the networks network command, in global configuration mode. To remove the bridge from a network, use the no form of the command.

networks network networkname { bridge | bridgename | | sriov | true | | trunk true | | trunk false | | vlan | vlannumber | | vlan-range | range }

no networks network networkname

Syntax Description

network networkname

Specifies the name of the network.

bridge bridgename

Specifies the name of the bridge.

sriov true

Specifies the SRIOV network.

trunk true

Adds the network to trunk mode.

Note

 

The trunk mode is applicable only to the interfaces attached to a network, for example, a VNF or anvNIC. The trunk mode is not applicable for Physical NICs (pNICs).

trunk false

Removes the network from trunk mode and puts it in access mode.
vlan vlannumber

Specifies the VLAN number to be associated with the network.
vlan-range range

Specifies the VLAN range.

Command Default

None

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Release Modification

3.5.1

This command was introduced.

4.8.1

The vlan-range keyword was added.

Examples

The following example shows how to add a bridge to a network:

nfvis(config)# bridges bridge eth2-1-br
nfvis(config-bridge-eth2-1-br)# port eth2-1
nfvis(config-port-eth2-1)# commit

nfvis(config)# networks network eth2-1-net bridge eth2-1-br
nfvis (config-network-eth2-1-net)# commit
The following example shows how to create a SRIOV network:

nfvis(config)# networks network eth2-1-SRIOV-1 sriov true
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-SRIOV-1)# commit
The following example shows how to add a network into trunk mode:

nfvis(config)# networks network eth2-1-net trunk true
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# commit
The following example shows how to remove a network from trunk mode:

nfvis(config)# networks network eth2-1-net trunk false
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# commit
The following example shows how to associate a VLAN with a network:

nfvis(config)# networks network eth2-1-net vlan 100 trunk true 
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# commit
nfvis# show running-config networks network eth2-1-net
networks network eth2-1-net
 vlan   [ 100 ]
 trunk  true
 bridge eth2-1-br
The following example shows how to configure a VLAN range:

nfvis(config)# networks network eth2-1-net bridge eth2-1-br vlan-range [ 100-103 200 205-207 ]
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# commit

nfvis# show running-config networks network eth2-1-net
networks network eth2-1-net
 vlan-range [ 100-103 200 205-207 ]
 bridge eth2-1-br

nfvis# show system networks network eth2-1-net
system networks network eth2-1-net
 bridge              eth2-1-br
 ports               eth2-1
 type                openvswitch
 vlan                100,101,102,103,200,205,206,207,1

Note
  • A SRIOV network in trunk mode does not support VLAN tagging.
    
nfvis(config)# networks network eth2-1-net sriov true 
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# trunk true 
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# vlan 100
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# commit
Aborted: SRIOV network in trunk mode does not support vlan tagging
  • In access mode, only one VLAN tag is supported.
    
nfvis(config)# networks network eth2-1-net
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# vlan [ 100 200 300 ]
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# trunk false 
nfvis(config-network-eth2-1-net)# commit
Aborted: Network eth2-1-net: Access mode supports 1 vlan tag only

bridge

To attach a SPAN session to a bridge, use the bridge command in session configuration mode. To remove the SPAN session association, use the no form of the command.

bridge {lan-br | wan-br}

no bridge {lan-br | wan-br}

Syntax Description

lan-br

Specifies the LAN bridge.

Usage Guidelines

For VLAN mirroring, the bridge must be configured. Configuration is rejected if a SPAN session is not applied to a bridge. The bridge configuration is optional if the source or destination interface is configured for the SPAN session.

Examples

The following example shows how to attach a SPAN session to a bridge: 


nfvis(config)# monitor session 2
nfvis(config-session-2)# bridge lan-br

bridges bridge

To add a port or port channel to a bridge, use the bridges bridge command. To remove a port or port channel from a bridge, use the no form of the command.

Syntax Description

bridgename

Specifies the name of the bridge.

portname

Specifies the name of the port or port channel.
