Using VLANs to add more accelerated Inter-VDOM links
You can add VLAN interfaces to the accelerated inter-VDOM links to create inter-VDOM links between more VDOMs. For the links to work, the VLAN interfaces must be added to the same inter-VDOM link, must be on the same subnet, and must have the same VLAN ID.
For example, to accelerate inter-VDOM link traffic between VDOMs named Marketing and Engineering using VLANs with VLAN ID 100 go to System > Network > Interfaces and select Create New to create the VLAN interface associated with the Marketing VDOM:
Name | Marketing-link |
Type | VLAN |
Interface | npu0-vlink0 |
VLAN ID | 100 |
Virtual Domain | Marketing |
IP/Network Mask | 172.20.120.12/24 |
Create the inter-VDOM link associated with Engineering VDOM:
Name | Engineering-link |
Type | VLAN |
Interface | npu0-vlink1 |
VLAN ID | 100 |
Virtual Domain | Engineering |
IP/Network Mask | 172.20.120.22/24 |
Or do the same from the CLI:
config system interface
edit Marketing-link
set vdom Marketing
set ip 172.20.120.12/24
set interface npu0-vlink0
set vlanid 100
next
edit Engineering-link
set vdom Engineering
set ip 172.20.120.22/24
set interface npu0-vlink1
set vlanid 100
