Binding an AC to a VSI
This task is mutually exclusive from Ethernet link aggregation. If a Layer 2 Ethernet interface has been added to a link aggregation group, you cannot bind a service instance on the interface to a VSI, and vice versa.
After you bind a service instance on a Layer 2 Ethernet interface or Layer 2 aggregate interface to a VSI, packets that are received from the interface and meet the match criteria of the service instance are forwarded based on the MAC address table of the VSI. A service instance can match all packets, tagged packets, or untagged packets.
To bind a service instance to a VSI:
Step | Command | Remarks | |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A | |
2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view or Layer 2 aggregate interface view. |
| N/A | |
3. Create an Ethernet service instance and enter Ethernet service instance view. | service-instance instance-id | By default, no Ethernet service instance exists on an interface. | |
4. Bind the Ethernet service instance to a VSI. | xconnect vsi vsi-name [ access-mode { ethernet | vlan } ] | By default, a service instance is not bound to any VSI. | |
