Configuring Virtual Link Extension in vNETs
Starting from Netvisor ONE version 6.1.0, you can configure a vLE on vNET managed ports. This enhancement enables you to separate the management of the feature on a per tenant basis.
To configure a vLE in a vNET, follow the steps from step 1 to step 4 discussed in the Configuring Virtual Link Extension section. You can then use the vle-create command to configure the vNET and enable state tracking. For example, as an extension of step 4, you can assign the vNET vnet1 to the vLE vLE-1 and enable state tracking by using the command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > vle-create name vLE-1 vnet vnet1 node-1 leaf-1 node-1-port 10 node-2 leaf2 node-2-port 17 tracking
Note: vLE creation is not allowed on vNET shared ports.
Use the vle-show command to display the configuration.
Use the vle-show command to display the configuration.
