Assume you want to segment part of your network into its own isolated piece by using a VRF, how would you do this with VOSS?

ip vrf itstaff vrfid 1

vlan create 999 name “ITStaff” type port-mstprstp 0

vlan members add 999 1/8

interface vlan 999

vrf itstaff

ip address 192.168.99.2 255.255.255.0

exit

VRF “itstaff” includes VLAN 999 name “ITStaff” and is the only VLAN created so far in the VRF and the VRF has its own routing table.

VSP-1100:1(config)#show ip route vrf itstaff

Note: To test connectivity from the CLI with ping or traceroute remember to specify the VRF on the command line otherwise it will use the GRT and results will not be as expected.

Extreme Networks Cloud IQ onboarding of switches is quite straight forward and can be really useful for zero touch provisioning.

A few places to check if having problems connecting to Cloud IQ.

Add the correct device type and its serial number into Cloud IQ.

On the switch make sure it has the correct time otherwise it may have problems connecting to the server.

Enable DNS client on the switch so that the iqagent can resolve the FQDN of the server.

Make sure the switch can reach the internet and any Firewalls are not blocking the traffic.

Extreme Networks EXOS switches support jumbo frames. The default MTU size is 9216 bytes.

To configure the MTU size used for switching use the following command:

configure jumbo-frame-size <1523-9216>

To enable jumbo frames on all ports use the following command:

enable jumbo-frame ports all

To display jumbo frame support and size for a specific port:

show port 1:1 info detail

Output will show the following when enabled…

Jumbo: Enabled, MTU=9216
