→ Applies to: Hyperion 9.x and above

This article lists the steps to create two vSwitches, one for untagged traffic and one for VLAN traffic in Hyperion.

All commands in this article are intended to be executed via Hyperion CLI.

Step 1. Connect to Hyperion appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

Step 2. Become Super User

sudo su

Step 3. Mark the default vSwitch as master replace <vswitch_name> with the correct vSwitch)

syneto-nmctl vswitch set-master --name <vswitch_name>

syneto-nmctl vswitch set-master --name vswitch0

Step 4. Create a vSwitch for untagged traffic (replace <vswitch_untagged_name> with the correct vSwitch untagged)

syneto-nmctl vswitch create --name <vswitch_untagged_name> --uplink none

EXAMPLE

syneto-nmctl vswitch create --name untagged --uplink none

Step 5. Connect the vSwitch from Step 4 to the default vSwitch from Step 3 (replace <brindge_name> with the correct bridge name)

syneto-nmctl vswitch connect --bridge <brindge_name> --to vswitch0

EXAMPLE

syneto-nmctl vswitch connect --bridge untagged --to vswitch0

Step 6. Create a vSwitch for VLAN traffic and connect it the default vSwitch from Step 3 (replace <vswitch_vlan_name> with the correct vSwitch vlan)

syneto-nmctl vswitch create --name <vswitch_vlan_name> --uplink none

EXAMPLE

syneto-nmctl vswitch create --name vlan --uplink none

Step 7. Connect the vSwitch from Step 6 to the default vSwitch from Step 3 (replace <brindge_name> with the correct bridge name)

syneto-nmctl vswitch connect --bridge <brindge_name> --to vswitch0

EXAMPLE

syneto-nmctl vswitch connect --bridge vlan --to vswitch0
