Description
When instantiating several VNETs from the VN template using VN_MAD=802.1Q and having some value for the VLAN_ID attribute in the VN template there is no way to override the value for that VLAN_ID attribute (there is no such field on the corresponding screen in the FireEdge).
Current implementation led to the situation when several VNETs instantiated from the same VN template have the same VLAN_ID value and thus same bridge devices. That in turn led to the critical situation because the network loop is created and the whole infra network is down.
To Reproduce
Instantiate a new VNET from the VN template and try to find a field to specify a value for the VLAN_ID attribute.
Expected behavior
There must be a separate field which allows to specify the VLAN_ID value to override the one from the VN template.
IMPORTANT: That VLAN_ID field has to be present when instantiating a VNET of type 802.1Q, VXLAN, OpenvSwitch and OpenvSwitch - VXLAN only.
Details
- Affected Component: FSunstone
- Version: 7.0.2
Additional context
There is a workaround which is not obvious:
- Go to
Network->Network Templates. - Select the desired
VN templateand click onInstantiatebutton (triangle). - Specify a
VNETname on the first screen and clickNextbutton. - Switch to the
Contexttab and press on theCustom Attributesfield located at the bottom of the screen. - Define the custom contextualization attribute
VLAN_IDand assign the desired value for it as shown on the picture attached. - Press
Finishbutton and check if the createdVNEThas a properVLAN_IDassigned.
