Splits a layer 2 broadcast domain into two layer 2 broadcast domains.

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

Splits ports from a broadcast domain into a new broadcast domain.

The following restrictions apply to this command:

  • If the ports are in a failover group, all ports in the failover group must be provided. Use network interface failover-groups show to see which ports are in failover groups.

  • If the ports have LIFs associated with them, the LIFs cannot be part of a subnet's ranges and the LIF's curr-port and home-port must both be provided. Use network interface show-fields subnet-name , home-node , home-port , curr-node , curr-port to see which ports have LIFs associated with them and whether the LIFs are part of a subnet's ranges. Use network subnet remove-ranges with the LIF's IP address and -force-update-lif-associations set to true to remove the LIF's association with a subnet.
