5 Configuring High
Availability VLANs
High availability (HA) VLANs, unlike standard VLANs, allow you to send traffic intended for a single
destination MAC address to multiple switch ports. These high availability VLANs can be used to manage
server clusters.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes the basic components of high availability VLANs and how to configure them
through the Command Line Interface (CLI). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for
more details about the syntax of commands, see the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 CLI Reference Guide.
Configuration procedures described in this chapter include:
• Creating a VLAN on page 5-6.
• Adding and Removing Server Cluster Ports to a HA VLAN on page 5-7.
• Assigning and Modifying Server Cluster Mode on page 5-7.
• Assigning and Removing MAC addresses to a HA VLAN on page 5-8.
