virtual-machine set

Configures the VM settings

autostart – Specifies whether to autostart the VM on system reboot

ignore – Enables autostart on each system reboot

start – Disables autostart

memory – Defines the VM memory size

<512-8192> – Specify the VM memory from 512 - 8192 MB. The default is 1024 MB.

vcpus – Specifies the number of VCPUS for this VM

<1-4> – Specify the number of VCPUS from 1- 4.

vif-count – Configures or resets the VM’s VIFs

<0-2> – Specify the VIF number from 0 - 2.

vif-mac – Configures the MAC address of the selected virtual network interface

<1-2> – Select the VIF

<1-8> – Specify the MAC index for the selected VIF

<MAC> – Specify the customized MAC address for the selected VIF in the
AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF format.

Each VM has a maximum of two network interfaces (indexed 1 and 2, referred to as VIF). By default, each
VIF is automatically assigned a MAC from the range allocated for that device. However, you can use the
‘set’ keyword to specify the MAC from within the allocated range. Each of these VIFs are mapped to a layer
2 port in the dataplane (referred to as VMIF). These VMIFs are standard l2 ports on the DP bridge,
supporting all VLAN and ACL commands. Mobility 5.5 supports up to a maximum of 8 VMIFs. By default, a
VM’s interface is always mapped to VMIF1. You can map a VIF to any of the 8 VMIFs. Use the vif-to-vmif
command to map a VIF to a VMIF on the DP bridge.

vif-to-vmif – Maps the virtual interface (1 or 2) to the selected VMIF interface. Specify the VMIF
interface index from 1 - 8.

Mobility provides a dataplane bridge for external network connectivity for VMs. VM Interfaces define which
IP address is associated with each VLAN ID the service platform is connected to and enables remote
service platform administration. Each custom VM can have up to a maximum of two VM interfaces.
By default, VM interfaces are internally connected to the dataplane bridge via VMIF1. VMIF1, by default, is
an untagged port providing access to VLAN 1 to support the capability to connect the VM interfaces to any
of the VMIF ports. This provides the flexibility to move a VM interface onto different VLANs as well as
configure specific firewall and QOS rules.

vnc – Disables/enables VNC port option for an existing VM. When enabled, provides remote access
to VGA through the noVNC client.

disable – Disables VNC port

enable – Enables VNC port

Contd...

After configuring the VM settings, identify the VM to apply the settings.

<VM-NAME> – Applies these settings to the VM identified by the <VM-NAME> keyword. Specify the
VM name.

team-urc – Applies these settings to the VM TEAM-URC

team-rls – Applies these settings to the VM TEAM-RLS

team-vowlan – Applies these settings to the VM TEAM-VoWLAN
