2.

Enter S-channel interface
view or S-channel aggregate

interface view.

interface { s-channel |

3.

Create a VSI interface or VSI
aggregate interface.

By default, no VSI interface or VSI
aggregate interface exists on an

S-channel.

Configuring VSI filters

The EVB bridge uses a VSI filter to identify VSI traffic for a VM. Filters are usually assigned by a VSI

manager. You can manually create or remove VSI filters through this task.
A VSI filter contains a set of VID values, MAC addresses, and group ID values. EVB supports the

following filter info formats:

VLAN ID

VLAN ID + MAC

Group ID + VLAN ID

Group ID + VLAN ID + MAC

When you configure VSI filters on a VSI interface, follow these guidelines:

Before you configure a VSI filter on a VSI interface, make sure the S-channel interface to which the
VSI interface belongs operates in trunk mode. Otherwise, the VSI filter configuration fails.

After you configure a VSI filter on a VSI interface, an S-channel interface automatically permits the
VLAN that is configured in the VSI filter for the subordinate VSI interface. The same rule takes effect

on Layer 2 interfaces associated with S-channels.

When you delete a VSI filter that contains information about a VLAN on a VSI interface, the other
VSI filters on all VSI interfaces of an S-channel interface might not contain the VLAN. If they do not,

the S-channel interface automatically denies traffic from the VLAN that is configured on the VSI filter.

The same rule takes effect on Layer 2 interfaces associated with S-channels.

When a filter configured on a VSI contains information about a VLAN, you must not configure the
filter on the same VSI interface again or on other VSI interfaces of the S-channel interface. If you do,

an error message appears.

If the VSI filter is a set of VID values, and the MAC address learning function for the corresponding
S-channel is disabled, traffic for the VSI cannot be forwarded.

Activate a VSI interface after configuring a VSI filter, and deactivate a VSI interface before removing
a VSI filter.

When you configure VSI filters on a VSI aggregate interface, follow these guidelines:

Before you configure a VSI filter on a VSI aggregate interface, make sure the S-channel aggregate

interface to which the VSI aggregate interface belongs operates in trunk mode. Otherwise, the VSI
filter configuration fails.

After you configure a VSI filter on a VSI aggregate interface, an S-channel aggregate interface
automatically permits the VLAN that is configured in the VSI filter for the subordinate VSI aggregate

interface. The same rule takes effect on Layer 2 aggregate interfaces associated with S-channels.

When you delete a VSI filter that contains information about a VLAN on a VSI aggregate interface,
the other VSI filters on all VSI aggregate interfaces of an S-channel aggregate interface might not
