7 Configuring Connections
This section gives a more detailed picture of how connections are used in the
CLI in the form of resources, attributes and commands. Note that the term tag
may have different meanings, as shown in Figure 7 on page 15.
Note: Switching domain is called vlan in the CLI.
When the command
# connect vlan 2 ethernet_port 2
is entered, the following attributes are set in the ‘ethernet_port 2’ and the ‘vlan
2’ objects respectively:
Figure 26 Contents of Port and Switching Domain Objects Defining Connections
By default the CLI connect command creates the following two-way
connection:
 An ingress connection from the port to the switching domain.
 An egress connection from the switching domain to the port.
(In the MIB interface, the egress and ingress connections are created
separately from each other.)
When a packet arrives at a port, there must be at least one path, called the
connection here, leading from the port to a switching domain. Otherwise,
the packet is discarded at the ingress port.
