Unable to create IP interfaces and L2 vlan configs

Infrastructure & Networking Switches and Gateways Ethernet Switches

Hi,

I’m fairly new to Mellanox and I am trying to set up some basic layer 2 multiple vlan switching on a Mellanox MSN2410. I am running MLNX-OS X86_64 3.6.1102.

I am trying to use the “interface VLAN 2” and “ip address x.x.x.x/x” commands to configure the switch but I don’t seem to have the available commands that all the documentation says I should.
For example when I issue the “interface…” command and press the TAB key I don’t get the options to enter a vlan and proceed.

I also noticed in the web manage under Profile and Capabilities Ethernet full L2 and L3 are Supported. But under Router Global: IP L3 is un-checked.

Do I need to do something else to make all the commands available?

Sorry for the basic questions I am a Dell OS admin…

Hi Dany,

Please create VLAN 2 in the VLAN database with “vlan 2” first, and enable ip routing with “ip routing” in the config mode, please also assign the VLAN to one of the L2 trunk/access ports, and check if that helps to assign IP address for the SVI.
The other thing is that Onyx 3.6.1102 is very old, please consider upgrade to the latest release as you have asked in another thread.

Thanks!

Hello user,

Yeah, already done those confs, vlan and trunk access but I dont have the ability to assign a SVI in vlan mode, the cmd is not available…

From what I understand from your answer, I need to enable ip routing to unlock the possibilities.

Thank you,

Dany
