Removing ports from an existing broadcast domain

If the ports that you want to add to the new broadcast domain are already in another broadcast domain, you must remove the ports from that broadcast domain before assigning them to the new broadcast domain.

Before you begin

You must be a cluster administrator to perform this task.

  1. Remove ports from the Default broadcast domain.

    Example

    network port broadcast-domain remove-ports -ipspace Default -broadcast-domain Default -ports node1:e0d,node1:e0e,node2:e0d,node2:e0e
  2. Verify that the ports are not assigned to a broadcast domain.

    Example

    network port show
    Node   Port      IPspace      Broadcast Domain Link   MTU    Admin/Oper
