inline-network-group

Required Command-Line Mode = Admin

Use the inline-network-group command to configure an inline network group. An inline network group is an arrangement of multiple inline networks that share the same inline tool or tools. Use this command to specify the list of inline networks in the group.

The inline network ports that make up the inline networks participating in the inline network group are always in pairs, running at the same speed, on the same medium (fiber or copper). All inline network ports of the inline network group must be on the same GigaVUE‑HC3, GigaVUE‑HC2, or GigaVUE‑HC1 node. The inline networks participating in the inline network group can be different speeds and different mediums.

This command is only applied to GigaVUE HC Series nodes. In a cluster environment, this command is only applied to GigaVUE HC Series nodes through the cluster leader. The inline constructs must all be configured on one GigaVUE‑HC3, GigaVUE‑HC2, or GigaVUE‑HC1 node, not across nodes, even if the nodes are in a cluster.

This command is used in the inline bypass solutions described in the “Configuring Inline Bypass Solutions” section in the GigaVUE Fabric Management Guide.

The inline-network-group command has the following syntax:

inline-network-group [alias <alias>] 
  comment <comment> 
  network-list <inline-network list>

The following table describes the arguments for the inline-network-group command.

Argument

Description

alias <alias>

Specifies the name of the inline network group. The alias must be unique and can contain up to 128 characters. Aliases are case-sensitive.

For example:

(config) # inline-network-group alias inNetGroup

(config inline-network-group alias inNetGroup) #

comment <comment>

Specifies a unique text string that describes the inline network group. Comments can be up to 128 characters. Comments longer than one word must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

For example:

(config inline-network-group alias inNetGroup) # comment “Inline network group inNetGroup”

network-list <inline network list>

Specifies the list of aliases of inline networks participating in sharing the same inline tool or tools.

Each GigaVUE HC Series node supports up to 12 inline networks in a single network-list.

The inline networks in the network-list can be different speeds, such as 10Gb and 1Gb, and different mediums (fiber and copper).

Separate each alias with a comma. For example:

(config inline-network-group alias inNetGroup) # network-list in11,in12,default_inline_net_3_2_1,default_inline_net_3_2_2
