Do Extreme Networks Switch Engine EXOS devices support virtualization?
Yes, they support Virtual Routers (VRs). There are three default ones known as VR-Mgmt, VR-Control and VR-Default.
VRs allow the switch to be segmented into different forwarding planes with each VR having its own routing table.
To create a new VR called blue:
create vr “blue”
To add all ports on slot 3 to VR blue:
configure vlan default delete ports 3:*
configure vr vr-default delete ports 3:*
configure vr blue add ports 3:*
After a user VR is created, the ports are added, and support for any required routing protocols is added, you can configure the VR.
To create a VLAN (Virtual LAN) in a VR, use the command:
create vlan vlan_name {description vlan-description} {vr name}
