https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremecloud-iq-site-engine/vlan-philosophy-with-netsight-oneview-policy-summit/m-p/34207#M3785 I am planning for a new switch refresh for our High School. In my network I have about 75 vlans. My deployment plan for the new rollout of Summit switches is to have a policy setup to set port vlans based on 1.x and/or mac addresses.<BR /> <BR /> I have a existing enterasys policy domain for my elementary buildings, and I have realized that keeping vlans consistent within devices has been a weak spot.<BR /> <BR /> I am planning to establish a gvrp setup. With all the changes to NetSight, and the obvious migration to oneview, I am researching the best way to create my vlan database.<BR /> <BR /> I could enter the vlans one-by-one in oneview, or policy manager, or console.... and hope that they all work off the same global db.<BR /> <BR /> I haven't seen any way to import vlan definitions via csv in any of the management tools I have seen so far.<BR /> <BR /> Another idea would be to define the vlans on a switch via script, then import the vlans to netsight/oneview from that switch. For the large number of vlans, this seems like the easiest path.<BR /> <BR /> Has anyone been through this with the new netsight (6.3) XOS (16.1) environment? Is there a preferred place to build the vlans and what is the easiest way to bulk create them?<BR /> <BR /> --Keith<BR /> <BR /> Fri, 04 Dec 2015 21:17:00 GMT Keith_Obermeier 2015-12-04T21:17:00Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremecloud-iq-site-engine/vlan-philosophy-with-netsight-oneview-policy-summit/m-p/34207#M3785 I am planning for a new switch refresh for our High School.
