NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Default N/A. Usage Guidelines The vMAN must already exist before you can delete ports. Example The following command deletes ports 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:6 on a modular switch for a vMAN named accounting: configure vman accounting delete ports 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:6 configure vman ethertype configure vman ethertype [primary | secondary] Description Changes the default ethertype for the vMAN header. Syntax Description value primary secondary Specifies an ethertype value in the format of 0xffff. Assigns the ethertype as the primary Ethernet value. Assigns the ethertype as the secondary Ethernet value. Default Ethertype value of 0x88a8 and type primary. Usage Guidelines The software supports two vMAN ethertype values, a primary value and a secondary value. By default, the primary ethertype applies to all vMANs. To use the secondary ethertype, define the ethertype with this command, and then assign the secondary ethertype to ports with the following command: configure port ethertype {primary | secondary} If your vMAN transits a third-party device (other than a NETGEAR device), you must configure the ethertype for the vMAN tag as the ethertype that the third-party device uses. If you configure both primary and secondary ethertypes, you can connect to devices that use either of the two values assigned. The system supports all vMAN ethertypes, including the standard ethertype of 0x8100. Chapter 29. vMAN (PBN) Commands | 1299
