VLAN#
In Kuid, VLANs are managed according to IEEE 802.1Q standards, ensuring adherence to industry best practices for network segmentation and organization. VLANs are logically organized within VLAN Indexes, providing a structured framework for VLAN management.
Static VLAN#
Static VLANs are explicitly defined with a specific VLAN ID and are managed through the VLANClaim Custom Resource (CR). Each static VLAN is associated with a VLAN index and a unique VLAN ID. If a static VLAN is defined within a VLAN Range it is associated to the VLAN Range within the VLAN Indez. Below is an example of static VLAN configurations:
Example static VLAN#
A static VLAN is configured by specifying the VLAN index and the static VLAN ID in the VLANClaim CR:
apiVersion: vlan.be.kuid.dev/v1alpha1
kind: VLANClaim
metadata:
name: index1.claim1
spec:
index: index1
id: 100
Expected behavior#
Upon successful creation of the static VLANClaim "index1.claim1", the status should indicate a True Ready condition, confirming that the VLAN has been successfully claimed with the specified VLAN ID.
Dynamic VLAN#
Dynamic VLANs are automatically assigned VLAN IDs by the system and are managed through the VLANClaim CR without specifying a VLAN ID. Optionally, dynamic VLANs can be restricted to specific VLAN ranges using label selectors. Below are examples of dynamic VLAN configurations:
Example dynamic VLAN#
A dynamic VLAN is configured by specifying only the VLAN index in the VLANClaim CR:
apiVersion: vlan.be.kuid.dev/v1alpha1
kind: VLANClaim
metadata:
name: index1.claim2
spec:
index: index1
Example dynamic VLAN within a range#
A dynamic VLAN can be restricted to a specific VLAN range using label selectors in the VLANClaim CR:
apiVersion: vlan.be.kuid.dev/v1alpha1
kind: VLANClaim
metadata:
name: index1.claim3
spec:
index: index1
selector:
matchLabels:
be.kuid.dev/claim-name: index1.range1
Expected behavior#
Upon successful creation of the dynamic VLANClaim, the status should indicate a True Ready condition, confirming that the VLAN has been successfully claimed with an automatically assigned VLAN ID.
Status#
The status of VLANClaims is indicated using the READY condition. A True Ready condition indicates a successful VLANClaim. When the Ready condition status is False, the reason and message information in the status provide additional details.
