Configuring a User-defined VLAN (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12)

The network segment of the user-defined VLAN cannot overlap the network information configured on the BMS.

This section uses SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1 (x86_64) as an example to describe how to configure a user-defined VLAN for BMSs.

  1. Use a key or password to log in to the BMS as user root.
  2. On the BMS CLI, run the following command to check the NIC information:

    ip link

    Information similar to the following is displayed.

    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 8888 qdisc mq master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether fa:16:3e:3d:1c:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 8888 qdisc mq master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether fa:16:3e:3d:1c:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 38:4c:4f:89:55:8d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: eth3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 38:4c:4f:89:55:8e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
6: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 8888 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/ether fa:16:3e:3d:1c:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
7: bond0.3133@bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 8888 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/ether fa:16:3e:57:87:6e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    Among the devices, eth0 and eth1 bear the VPC, and eth2 and eth3 bear the user-defined VLAN.

  3. Configure the udev rules:

    Run the following command to create the 80-persistent-net.rules file:

    cp /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/80-persistent-net.rules

    Write the NIC MAC address and name that are queried in 2 and that are not displayed in 80-persistent-net.rules to the file. In this way, after the BMS is restarted, the NIC name and sequence will not change.

    Ensure that the NIC MAC address and name are lowercase letters.

    vim /etc/udev/rules.d/80-persistent-net.rules

    The modification result is as follows:

    SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="38:4c:4f:29:0b:e0", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="38:4c:4f:29:0b:e1", NAME="eth1"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="38:4c:4f:89:55:8d", NAME="eth2"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="38:4c:4f:89:55:8e", NAME="eth3"

    After the modification, save the change and exit.

  4. Run the following command to check the NIC IP address:

    ifconfig

    Information similar to the following is displayed, where bond0 and bond0.313 show the NIC IP addresses automatically allocated by the system when you apply for the BMS:

  5. Run the following commands to check the names of bonded NICs:

    The in-service bonded NICs cannot be used on the internal communication plane. Therefore, you must obtain them by name.

    cd /etc/sysconfig/network

    vi ifcfg-bond0

    Information similar to the following is displayed, where bond0 is composed of NICs eth0 and eth1:

    BONDING_MASTER=yes
TYPE=Bond
STARTMODE=auto
BONDING_MODULE_OPTS="mode=4 xmit_hash_policy=layer3+4 miimon=100"
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEVICE=bond0
USERCONTRL=no
LLADDR=fa:16:3e:3d:1c:e0
BONDING_SLAVE1=eth1
BONDING_SLAVE0=eth0

    After the query, exit.

  6. Run the following commands to check the statuses of all NICs:

    ip link

    Information similar to the following is displayed.

    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    link/ether fa:16:3e:57:87:6e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

  7. Run the following commands to change the NIC status qdisc mq state DOWN to qdisc mq state UP. The following commands use NICs eth2 and eth3 as examples.

    ip link set eth2 up

    ip link set eth3 up

  8. Run the following commands to check the statuses of all NICs:

    ip link

    Information similar to the following is displayed.

    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    link/ether 38:4c:4f:89:55:8d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: eth3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 38:4c:4f:89:55:8e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
6: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 8888 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/ether fa:16:3e:3d:1c:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
7: bond0.3133@bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 8888 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/ether fa:16:3e:57:87:6e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

  9. Check the statuses of the NICs in 8 and obtain the names of the NICs in qdisc mq state UP state.

    Only the NICs that are in qdisc mq state UP state and have not been used can be bonded. In this example, such NICs are eth2 and eth3.

    The LLADR values of NICs eth2 and eth3 are 38:4c:4f:89:55:8d and 38:4c:4f:89:55:8e, respectively.

  10. Run the following commands to create the configuration files of NICs eth2 and eth3:

    You can copy an existing NIC configuration file and modify it to improve the creation efficiency.

    cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth2

    cp ifcfg-eth1 ifcfg-eth3

  11. Run the following commands to modify the configuration files of NICs eth2 and eth3:

    vi ifcfg-eth2

    vi ifcfg-eth3

    Modified configuration file of NIC eth2 is as follows.

    In this configuration file, set MTU to 8888, BOOTPROTO to STATIC, and configure DEVICE and LLADDR as required.

    STARTMODE=auto
MTU=8888
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=STATIC
DEVICE=eth2
USERCONTRL=no
LLADDR=38:4c:4f:89:55:8d
TYPE=Ethernet

    Modified configuration file of NIC eth3 is as follows:

    STARTMODE=auto
MTU=8888
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=STATIC
DEVICE=eth3
USERCONTRL=no
LLADDR=38:4c:4f:89:55:8e
TYPE=Ethernet

    After the modification, save the change and exit.

  12. Run the following command to bond NICs eth2 and eth3 to a NIC, for example, bond1:

    Run the following commands to create the ifcfg-bond1 file and modify the configuration file:

    cp ifcfg-bond0 ifcfg-bond1

    vi ifcfg-bond1

    Modified configuration file of NIC bond1 is as follows.

    In this configuration file, MTU is set to 8888, BONDING_MODULE_OPTS is set to mode=1 miimon=100, BOOTPROTO is set to STATIC. DEVICE, BONDING_SLAVE1, BONDING_SLAVE0, IPADDR, NETMASK, and NETWORK are configured as required. LLADDR is set to the LLADDR value of the BONDING_SLAVE1 NIC.

    BONDING_MASTER=yes
TYPE=Bond
MTU=8888
STARTMODE=auto
BONDING_MODULE_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100"
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=STATIC
DEVICE=bond1
USERCONTRL=no
LLADDR=38:4c:4f:89:55:8d
BONDING_SLAVE1=eth2
BONDING_SLAVE0=eth3
IPADDR=10.0.2.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.0.2.0

    After the modification, save the change and exit.

  13. Make the configuration file take effect.

    1. Run the following commands to create a temporary directory and copy the NIC configuration file to this directory:

      mkdir /opt/tmp/

      mkdir /opt/tmp/xml

      cp /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg* /opt/tmp/

      cp /etc/sysconfig/network/config /opt/tmp/

      cp /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp /opt/tmp/

    2. Run the following commands to stop NICs to form bond1:

      ip link set eth2 down

      ip link set eth3 down

    3. Run the following command to convert the NIC configuration file to a configuration file that can be recognized by the OS:

      /usr/sbin/wicked --log-target=stderr --log-level=debug3 --debug all convert --output /opt/tmp/xml /opt/tmp/

    4. Run the following commands to restart the NICs to form bond1:

      ip link set eth2 up

      /usr/sbin/wicked --log-target=stderr --log-level=debug3 --debug all ifup --ifconfig /opt/tmp/xml/eth2.xml eth2

      ip link set eth3 up

      /usr/sbin/wicked --log-target=stderr --log-level=debug3 --debug all ifup --ifconfig /opt/tmp/xml/eth3.xml eth3

      /usr/sbin/wicked --log-target=stderr --log-level=debug3 --debug all ifup --ifconfig /opt/tmp/xml/bond1.xml bond1

  14. Run the following command to query IP addresses:

    ip addr show

    An example is provided as follows:

    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
