To create a VSI: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter S-channel interface view. 3. Create a VSI. Command system-view interface s-channel interface-number:channel-id evb vsi vsi-local-id { association | pre-association } Remarks N/A N/A By default, no VSI exists on an S-channel. Configuring VSI filters A VSI filter contains a set of VID values (VLAN information) or a set of MAC and VID values (). The EVB bridge uses a VSI filter to identify VSI traffic for a VM. Filters are usually assigned by a VSI manager. You can also manually create or remove VSI filters by performing this task. Follow these guidelines when you configure VSI filters for VSIs on an S-channel: • Before the configuration, make sure the S-channel where you configure a VSI filter operates in trunk mode. Otherwise, the configuration fails. • After you configure a VSI filter on a VSI, an S-channel interface automatically permits the VLAN that is configured in the VSI filter for the subordinate VSI. The same rule takes effect on Layer 2 interfaces associated with S-channels. • After you delete a VSI filter that contains information about a VLAN on a VSI, if other VSI filters on all VSIs of an S-channel interface do not contain the VLAN, the S-channel interface automatically denies traffic from the VLAN that is configured on the VSI filter. The same rule takes effect on Layer 2 interfaces associated with S-channels. • When a filter configured on a VSI contains information about a VLAN, you cannot configure the filter on the same VSI again or on other VSIs of the S-channel interface to which the VSI belongs. Otherwise, the system displays an error. • If the VSI filter is a set of VID values, and the MAC address learning function for the corresponding S-channel is disabled, traffic for the VSI cannot be forwarded. • Activate a VSI after configuring a VSI filter, and deactivate a VSI before removing a VSI filter. To configure a VSI filter for a VSI: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter VSI view. 3. Configure a VSI filter.
