To create VLANs over link aggregates or failover groups,
complete the following steps:
Decide what ports are to be
part of the link aggregate or failover group. Then, decide on the
VLANs that will be created over the link aggregate or failover group.
Configure the trunks and VLANs
on the switch according to the switch’s documentation. If you
want to enable a VLAN on a link aggregate, its trunk on the switch
side must be tagged with the VLAN’s ID.
If you want to enable a VLAN on a failover group, the member ports
of the failover group on the switch side must be tagged with the VLAN’s
ID.
On the server side, create
the link aggregates or failover groups. Then, create the VLANs over
the link aggregate or failover group.
After a link aggregate is in use, you can create,
modify, and delete VLANs over it. Users can leave behind VLANs after
the link aggregate or failover group has been cleared. If the link
aggregate or failover group has been cleared, users can neither create
VLANs nor modify any VLANs on the link aggregate or failover group.
Users can only delete the VLANs.
See Appendix D for examples of configuring VLANs over
APA using HP Procurve switches.
