Example for Configuring an SVF System Across a Layer 2 Network on a Wired Campus Network Access Layer (S12700 as the Parent)

Networking Requirements

A new wired campus network has many access devices. The widely distributed access devices complicate management and configuration of the access layer. Unified management and configuration of access devices are required to reduce the management cost.

As shown in Figure 1, two aggregation switches set up a CSS, which then functions as the parent to connect to multiple ASs.

In this example, the S12700 functions as the parent, and S5720-28P-SI-AC and S5720-12TP-LI-AC function as ASs.

The administrator needs to ensure that the downlink fabric port of the parent and the intermediate Layer 2 network are correctly configured, the SVF management VLAN and service VLAN between the parent and AS are correctly connected, and the intermediate network transparently transmits data traffic between the parent and AS. Therefore, the intermediate network must be a pure Layer 2 network.

Figure 1 Configuring an SVF system across a Layer 2 network on a wired campus network access layer

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure the parent as a CSS to ensure high reliability of the SVF system.
Enable the SVF function on the parent.
Configure AS access parameters on the parent, including the AS name, authentication mode, and fabric port that connects the parent to an AS.

If the parent connects to multiple devices on the Layer 2 intermediate network, on the parent, you need to configure a different fabric port to connect to each intermediate device and bind each fabric port to a different Eth-Trunk. If the parent connects to only one device on the Layer 2 intermediate network, on the parent, you need to configure only one fabric port and bind this fabric port to one Eth-Trunk. In this example, if the parent connects to only one device on the Layer 2 intermediate network, on the parent, you need to configure only one fabric port (Fabric-port1) and bind this fabric port to one Eth-Trunk (Eth-Trunk1).
Configure an uplink fabric port that connects an AS to the parent.
Connect the parent and ASs to the Layer 2 network using cables. Clear the configurations of ASs and restart the ASs.
Configure service profiles and bind them to ASs.

Procedure

Configure two switches in the parent to set up a CSS.

# Configure the management VLAN in the SVF system and enable the SVF function on the parent.

Configure AS access parameters on the parent.
# (Optional) Configure a name for each AS.
- If you do not perform this step, the system will generate AS device information when ASs connect to the SVF system. An AS name is in the format of system default name-system MAC address.
- If you need to perform this step, ensure that the configured model and mac-address parameters are consistent with the actual AS information. The value of mac-address must be the AS management MAC address or system MAC address. To view the AS management MAC address, run the display as access configuration command on the AS. If the management MAC displays --, the value of mac-address is the system MAC address. If the configured parameters are inconsistent with the actual AS information, the AS cannot go online.

# Configure fabric ports that connect the parent to ASs.

The Eth-Trunk working mode configuration must be consistent on the member port in the indirectly connected fabric port of the parent and the Layer 2 network port connected to the member port. If the Eth-Trunk working mode on the Layer 2 network port is set to LACP, the Eth-Trunk working mode on the member port must also be set to LACP.

The configuration of fabric port 2 that connects the parent to AS 2 is similar to the configuration of fabric port 1, and is not mentioned here.

# Configure ASs to be authenticated using a whitelist when they connect to the SVF system.

To view the AS management MAC address, run the display as access configuration command on the AS. If the management MAC displays --, the MAC address configured in the whitelist is the AS system MAC address. Otherwise, the MAC address configured in the whitelist is the AS management MAC address.

Configure an uplink fabric port that connects an AS to the parent.

Clear the configurations of ASs and restart the ASs. Connect the parent and ASs to the Layer 2 network using cables.
# Clear the configurations of ASs, restart the ASs, and then connect the parent and ASs to the Layer 2 network using cables. Subsequently, an SVF system is set up.
- Before restarting an AS, check whether the port that connects this AS to the parent is a downlink port. You can run the display port connection-type access all command on this AS to view all downlink ports on it. If this port is a downlink port, run the uni-mng up-direction fabric-port command on this AS to configure this port as an uplink port before restarting this AS. Otherwise, this AS cannot go online.
- Before connecting an AS to the parent, ensure that the AS has no configuration file and no input on the console port.
# After connecting cables, run the display as all command to check whether ASs have connected to the SVF system.
