CLI example: Configuring vSystems

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, LAN 1, LAN 2, and LAN 3 use 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, and 192.168.3.0/24, respectively.

Configure vSystems for the LANs as follows:

This configuration example was created and verified on F9900 of the F5000-AI120 device.

Procedures

1.        Configure vSystem vsys1 for LAN 1:

# Create a vSystem named vsys1 and configure a description for it.

<Device> system-view

[Device] vsys vsys1

[Device-vsys-2-vsys1] description vsys-1

# Assign GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 to the vSystem.

[Device-vsys-2-vsys1] allocate interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

Some configurations on the interface are removed.

[Device-vsys-2-vsys1] allocate interface gigabitethernet 1/0/4

Some configurations on the interface are removed.

[Device-vsys-2-vsys1] quit

# Log in to the vSystem from the default vSystem.

[Device] switchto vsys vsys1

<Device-vsys1> system-view

# Configure Telnet login to enable remote vSystem management. (Details not shown. For more information about Telnet login configuration, see login management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.)

# Assign IP address 192.168.1.251/24 to GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

[Device-vsys1] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Device-vsys1-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] ip address 192.168.1.251 24

# Return to the default vSystem.

[Device-vsys1-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] return

<Device-vsys1> quit

[Device]

2.        Configure vSystem vsys2 for LAN 2:

# Create a vSystem named vsys2 and configure a description for it.

[Device] vsys vsys2

[Device-vsys-3-vsys2] description vsys-2

# Assign GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/5 to the vSystem.

[Device-vsys-3-vsys2] allocate interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

Some configurations on the interface are removed.

[Device-vsys-3-vsys2] allocate interface gigabitethernet 1/0/5

Some configurations on the interface are removed.

[Device-vsys-3-vsys2] quit

# Log in to the vSystem from the default vSystem.

[Device] switchto vsys vsys2

<Device-vsys2> system-view

# Configure Telnet login to enable remote vSystem management. (Details not shown. For more information about Telnet login configuration, see login management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.)

# Assign IP address 192.168.2.251/24 to GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.

[Device-vsys2] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

[Device-vsys2-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] ip address 192.168.2.251 24

# Return to the default vSystem.

[Device-vsys2-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] return

<Device-vsys2> quit

[Device]

3.        Configure vSystem vsys3 for LAN 3:

# Create a vSystem named vsys3 and configure a description for it.

[Device] vsys vsys3

[Device-vsys-4-vsys3] description vsys-3

# Assign GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/6 to the vSystem.

[Device-vsys-4-vsys3] allocate interface gigabitethernet 1/0/3

Some configurations on the interface are removed.

[Device-vsys-4-vsys3] allocate interface gigabitethernet 1/0/6

Some configurations on the interface are removed.

[Device-vsys-4-vsys3] quit

# Log in to the vSystem from the default vSystem.

[Device] switchto vsys vsys3

<Device-vsys2> system-view

# Configure Telnet login to enable remote vSystem management. (Details not shown. For more information about Telnet login configuration, see login management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.)

# Assign IP address 192.168.3.251/24 to GigabitEthernet 1/0/3.

[Device-vsys3] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/3

[Device-vsys3-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] ip address 192.168.3.251 24

# Return to the default vSystem.

[Device-vsys3-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] return

<Device-vsys3> quit

[Device]

Verifying the configuration

# Verify that the device has four vSystems and all vSystems are in active state.
