How to set VLAN traffic to All VLANS for Virtual Server

I'm able to set VLAN traffic to disable or enable on certain ALL VLANS for virtual server by calling set_vlan.

 

 

But how can I set it back to ALL VLANS?

 

 

Thanks.

  • If you want to set back the value to "All VLANS", you can use the set_vlan() method passing in a flag of "STATE_DISABLED" and an empty list of vlans in the VLANFilterList parameter.

     

     

    enum EnabledState {
      STATE_DISABLED,
      STATE_ENABLED
    };
    struct VLANFilterList {
      EnabledState state,
      String [] vlans
    };
    void LocalLB::VirtualServer::set_vlan(
        in String[] virtual_servers,
        in VLANFilterList[] vlans
    );

     

     

    Here's a perl sample that will reset the Virtual Server vlan properties to "All VLANS":

    I guess there probably should be an additional method to do this...
