Create a new layer 2 broadcast domain
Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.
Description
Create a new broadcast domain.
Note: The IPSpace of the ports added will be updated to the IPSpace of
the broadcast-domain.
A failover-group will be generated containing the ports of the
broadcast-domain.
The MTU of all of the ports in the broadcast-domain will be updated
to the MTU specified for the broadcast-domain.
Parameters
- [-ipspace <IPspace>] - IPspace Name
- The IPspace to which the new broadcast domain belongs.
- -broadcast-domain <broadcast domain name> - Layer 2 Broadcast Domain
- The name of the broadcast domain to be created. The name of the broadcast domain needs to be unique within the IPspace.
- -mtu <integer> - Configured MTU
- MTU of the broadcast domain.
- [-ports <<node>:<port>>, ...] - Ports
-
The network ports to be added to the broadcast domain.
Ports need to be added to the broadcast domain before
interfaces can be hosted on the port.
By default, no port will be added to the broadcast domain.
Examples
The following example creates broadcast domain "mgmt"
in IPspace "Default" with an MTU of 1500 and network ports e0c from
node "gx1" and node "gx2".
cluster1::> network port broadcast-domain create -ipspace Default -broadcast-domain mgmt -mtu 1500 -ports gx1:e0c,gx2:e0c
