Open seungtaek opened 1 year ago

seungtaek commented 1 year ago

Enhancement summary

Hello sir, I don't know there are a way to configure multiple vlan in one line like cli 'vlan 1000-1200'. but I couldn't find it out

Which component of AVD is impacted

eos_cli_config_gen

Use case example

  HEBERGEMENT:
    mac_vrf_vni_base: 10000
    vlan_aware_bundle_number_base: 5000
    l2vlans:
      1200:
        name: HDS
        tags: ['VEN']
      1201:
        name: HDS
        tags: ['VEN']

Describe the solution you would like

As you can see, I had to configure one by one for multiple vlan for a same switch, is there any advice for doing it simple? I need to configure tons of vlan in production.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Hi @seungtaek, there is no current option for adding a vlan range. Depending on how your project is structured, you might be able to template or generate the data for AVD first.

It is possible to add the capability of accepting a range instead of a single number, but it will take some work, and I cannot give any ETA. We can keep this issue as the feature request.

Hi @ClausHolbechArista,

we have a similar requirement. There is currently C_A (Customer A) that requested a range of 255 contiguous VLAN ids that can be spun accross multiple sites (VXLAN) but also delivered to some ESX port_groups.

The above mentioned YAML could be autogenerated, but that's non ideal for day 2 operation. I would request a YAML definition something like:

  Tenant_A:
    mac_vrf_vni_base: 10000
    vlan_aware_bundle_number_base: 5000
    l2vlans:
      600:
        name: PROJECT_A_600
        tags: ['ESX']
      601:
        name: PROJECT_B_601
        tags: ['ESX2']
    l2vlan_range:
      700-955:
        name: PROJECT_C
        tags: ['ESX']
        append_vlan_id_description: True # will append the VLAN number to the description

The generated EOS CLI configuration should then be:

vlan 700
  name: PROJECT_C_700
!
vlan 701
  name: PROJECT_C_701
!
...
vlan 955
  name: PROJECT_C_955
!
