Applies to:

Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1-15 - Version All Versions and later
Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1-4 - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Purpose

VLAN Tagging - Port and vNIC Modes

Details

The Fabric Director does not check the validity of VLAN tagging modes. For example, the Fabric Director allows the following configuration:

An Ethernet port or Link Aggregation Group (LAG) set to trunk mode and a vNIC terminating on that Ethernet port or LAG set to access mode. This configuration is valid and the Fabric Director allows it.
An Ethernet port or LAG set to access mode and a vNIC terminating on that Ethernet port or LAG set to trunk mode. This configuration is invalid, but the Fabric Director still allows it.

The listed settings are a misconfiguration that can negatively affect the traffic on the VLAN, and can cause hosts to not receive traffic. Be aware that this misconfiguration is not prevented on the Fabric Director, and no error message is displayed if this configuration is specified.
