Configuring a User-defined VLAN (Red Hat, CentOS, Oracle Linux, and EulerOS)

This section uses CentOS 6.8 (x86_64) as an example to describe how to configure a user-defined VLAN for BMSs.

Note

The configuration methods of Red Hat, Oracle Linux, EulerOS, and CentOS are similar.

  1. Use a key or password to log in to the BMS as user root.

  2. On the BMS CLI, run the following command to check the NIC information:

    ip link

    Information similar to the following is displayed.

    image1

    Note

    Among the devices, eth0 and eth1 bear the VPC, and eth3 and eth5 bear the user-defined VLAN.

  3. Run the following command to check whether the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory contains the 80-persistent-net.rules file:

    ll /etc/udev/rules.d/ | grep 80-persistent-net.rules

    • If yes, and the file contains all NICs except bond0 and lo obtained in step 2 and their MAC addresses, go to step 6.

    • If no, go to step 4.

  4. Run the following command to copy the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file and name the copy as /etc/udev/rules.d/80-persistent-net.rules.

    cp -p /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/80-persistent-net.rules

  5. Configure the udev rules:

    Write the MAC addresses and names of NICs except eth0 and eth1 obtained in step 2 (those not contained in the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file) to the /etc/udev/rules.d/80-persistent-net.rules file so that the names and sequence of NICs do not change after the BMS is restarted.

    Note

    Ensure that the NIC MAC address and name are lowercase letters.

    vim /etc/udev/rules.d/80-persistent-net.rules

    The modification result is as follows:

    After the modification, press Esc, enter :wq, save the configuration, and exit.

  6. Run the following commands to copy the network configuration file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 to generate the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond1 file, and copy the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file to generate the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3 and /etc/sysconfig/network/ ifcfg-eth5 files:

    cp -p /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond1

    cp -p /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3

    cp -p /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth5

  7. Run the following commands to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth5 files:

    • vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3

      Edit the eth3 network configuration file as follows:

      USERCTL=no
      MTU=8888
      NM_CONTROLLED=no
      BOOTPROTO=static
      DEVICE=eth3
      TYPE=Ethernet
      ONBOOT=yes
      MASTER=bond1
      SLAVE=yes
      

      Change the value of BOOTPROTO to static, that of DEVICE to the network device name eth3, and that of MASTER to the port name of the user-defined VLAN (bond1). Retain values of other parameters.

    • vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth5

      Edit the eth5 network configuration file as follows (similar to eth3):

      USERCTL=no
      MTU=8888
      NM_CONTROLLED=no
      BOOTPROTO=static
      DEVICE=eth5
      TYPE=Ethernet
      ONBOOT=yes
      MASTER=bond1
      SLAVE=yes
      
  8. Run the following command to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond1 file:

    vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond1

    Edit the file as follows:

    MACADDR=f4:4c:7f:3f:da:07
    BONDING_MASTER=yes
    USERCTL=no
    ONBOOT=yes
    NM_CONTROLLED=no
    BOOTPROTO=static
    BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100"
    DEVICE=bond1
    TYPE=Bond
    IPADDR=10.10.10.3
    NETMASK=255.255.255.0
    MTU=8888
    

    Where,

    • Change the value of MACADDR to the MAC address of eth3 or eth5.

    • Change the value of BOOTPROTO to static.

    • Change the value of DEVICE to bond1.

    • Change the value of IPADDR to the IP address to be allocated to bond1. If the IP address planned for the user-defined VLAN does not conflict with the VPC network segment, you can plan the IP address as needed, only to ensure that BMSs communicating through the user-defined VLAN are in the same network segment as the user-defined VLAN. An example value is 10.10.10.3.

    • Set the value of NETMASK to the subnet mask of the IP address configured for bond1.

    Retain values of other parameters.

    After the modification, press Esc, enter :wq, save the configuration, and exit.

  9. Run the following command to enable port group bond1 of the user-defined VLAN:

    ifup bond1

    Determining if ip address 10.10.10.3 is already in use for device bond1...
    
  10. Perform the preceding operations to configure other BMSs.

  11. After all BMSs are configured, ping the IP addresses of other BMSs from each BMS.
