vlan identifier and weight for default static route for VSP 7200

jwumcp — Fri, 15 May 2020 00:34:48 GMT

Hello all,

I am not very familiar with VSP. I do need some help on something that could be simple.

what is vlan identifier when creating new vlan? It is same as vid in ERS?
I don’t know how to give weight for default static route when I configure a default static route for vsp 7200? what does weight here mean in VSP? I cannot seem to find any good explanation for this in the VSP related documentation.

Thank you in advance.

creating a vlan is the same in VSP and ERS.

vlan create 111 type port ///for ERS

vlan create 111 type port-mstprstp 0 // for VSP,

as for Static route weight( or cost) I think the default is 10. If you only have one static route to your Cisco device there is really nothing to do here.

I would just pick a weight of 10 and preference of 1.

Switch:1(config)#ip route 192.0.2.2 255.255.0.0 198.51.100.24 weight 10 preference 1 Switch:1(config)#ip route 192.0.2.2 255.255.0.0 198.51.100.24 enable

If you are new to VSP you should download the doc collections.

In there you will find a TCG and all the technical guides. The best doc is called “SPBVOSS_TCG_CG.pdf. I have attached it….

you will also find all the detailed config guides.

Thank you Paul so much for your quick response. Very helpful.

Just one more question, I noticed you pick 0 as the identifier when created port vlan. Can I know why you pick 0 instead of other number? If I create multiple vlans, am I supposed to use same identifier or different identifier? they are all same vlan type, i.e., port-mstprstp

Thanks.

in my example 111 is the VLAN number/ID.

The zero “0” at the end of that command is to select what Spanning Tree group you wish to assign that vlan to. STP group 0-to-64.

By picking “0” I am putting that vlan in no spanning tree group.

If you are new the VSPs I would keep things simple and just put all the VLANS in group “0”.

When I deploy Fabric Networks with all VSPs I put all VLANs in group zero “0”
