802.1q Q-in-Q on UCS

ben.schmi · ‎07-08-2010

Hi,

I was wondering if Q-in-Q is supported for the Fabric Interconnect and how I can configure it in UCS Manager.

I have reaad the Fabric Interconnect needs to be set to Switching Mode for VLANs to be handled. How does the Fabric Interconnect treat incoming Frames (from Server) with and without VLAN-tags?

Thanks.

Ben

Hi Ben,

No, it is not supported and in MHO i don't think it makes much sense to support it.

What you can do is uplink your FIC to a switch that is capable of dot1q-tunneling and create it from there.

Cheers
