Configuring a Management VLAN and Enabling the Client Mode

Context

When an AS connects to an SVF system through a Layer 2 network, you must configure the device to work in client mode, configure a management VLAN.

  • The management VLAN of the AS must be consistent with the management VLAN configured on the parent.
  • The VCMP role switching command is mutually exclusive with the command that configures a device to work in client mode. If the current device is not a silent switch in a VCMP domain, the device cannot be configured to work in client mode. You must run the vcmp role silent command in the system view to set the VCMP role of the device to silent. After a device is configured to work in client mode, the VCMP role switching command cannot be executed. That is, the device cannot change from the silent role to another role.
  • The slot ID of the AS cannot be greater than or equal to 5. Otherwise, the management VLAN cannot be configured for the AS.
  • The management VLAN cannot be configured for the AS after the slot ID of the AS is changed using the stack slot slot-id renumber new-slot-id command.
