I'm not a network engineer, but am trying to set one port on my MXL switch to a VLAN which will route traffic out from virtual machines to a local compute network.
It's port Te 0/52 on the back of the MXL and I'm running ESXi on the servers in my m1000e. I actually have two MXLs in the A fabric of the m1000e configured with VLT over the FourtyGig interfaces. That part was set up by the Dell Tech Services folks who did the install.
Here is what the config looked like to start:
dsa1#show vlan
Codes: * - Default VLAN, G - GVRP VLANs, R - Remote Port Mirroring VLANs, P - Primary, C - Community, I - Isolated
O - Openflow
Q: U - Untagged, T - Tagged
x - Dot1x untagged, X - Dot1x tagged
o - OpenFlow untagged, O - OpenFlow tagged
G - GVRP tagged, M - Vlan-stack, H - VSN tagged
i - Internal untagged, I - Internal tagged, v - VLT untagged, V - VLT tagged
NUM Status Description Q Ports
* 1 Active U Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
U Po41(Te 0/41-44)
U Te 0/1-32
115 Active Mgmt T Po41(Te 0/41-44)
V Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
T Te 0/1-32
486 Active VMGuest T Po41(Te 0/41-44)
V Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
T Te 0/1-32
U Te 0/49-50
And I wanted to add VLAN 1000 for compute, so I did the following:
dsa1#conf
dsa1(conf)#interface Te 0/52
dsa1(conf-if-te-0/52)#show config
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/52
no ip address
mtu 12000
portmode hybrid
switchport
flowcontrol rx on tx off
spanning-tree rstp edge-port bpduguard shutdown-on-violation
no shutdown
dsa1(conf)#interface vlan 1000
dsa1(conf-if-vl-1000)#show config
!
interface Vlan 1000
description Compute
name Compute
no ip address
tagged TenGigabitEthernet 0/1-32
untagged TenGigabitEthernet 0/52
no shutdown
VLANs now look like:
dsa1#show vlan
Codes: * - Default VLAN, G - GVRP VLANs, R - Remote Port Mirroring VLANs, P - Primary, C - Community, I - Isolated
O - Openflow
Q: U - Untagged, T - Tagged
x - Dot1x untagged, X - Dot1x tagged
o - OpenFlow untagged, O - OpenFlow tagged
G - GVRP tagged, M - Vlan-stack, H - VSN tagged
i - Internal untagged, I - Internal tagged, v - VLT untagged, V - VLT tagged
NUM Status Description Q Ports
* 1 Active U Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
U Po41(Te 0/41-44)
U Te 0/1-32
115 Active Mgmt T Po41(Te 0/41-44)
V Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
T Te 0/1-32
486 Active VMGuest T Po41(Te 0/41-44)
V Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
T Te 0/1-32
U Te 0/49-50
1000 Active Compute T Te 0/1-32
U Te 0/52
But I wanted to add VLT tagged Po33 to the new VLAN because it exists in the others, not because I really understand what it does. I believe it's used for load balancing? If I tag it with the command "tagged Po33" under the vlan config it comes out with status "T" instead of "V"
Here's the details of VLT:
dsa1#show vlt detail
Local LAG Id Peer LAG Id Local Status Peer Status Active VLANs

41 41 UP UP 1, 115, 486

So my questions are, am I on the right track? Will this do what I want it to do which is send traffic out port Te 0/52 which is tagged in ESXi with VLAN 1000? Do I need to worry about the VLT tagging stuff and if so, how do I do the VLT Tagging rather than normal tagging?
