AltocumulusR2600 device and tenant/partition configuration
Hello,
I'm working with configuration on r2600 where is one tenant with multiple vlans.
On tenant perspective I want to add each vlan to specific partition.
How to do this in correct way for rSeries?
There is a bug http://cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID1231889.html
which says that all vlans need to be in Common partition.
On vCMP or bare metal there was an option to create vlan in partition, add it to route domain and then configure all other things (IP, routes, etc).
So - what is proper way?
Where can I find F5 document?

Thank you pietrucha92
Add a new VLAN – provide only two values: name and tag (leave all other fields empty).
This was exactly doing the trick!
Once done, I also noticed for all the other VLANs, which were still assigned in the Common partition, that they also have no value in the "Untagged/Tagged Interface" column.
From a management/troubleshooting perspective this is not really optimal. I would recommend (or at list wish) that these information will also be correctly visible within the tenant. Otherwise remove the columns and configuration options to avoid misunderstandings or mistakes.
I will proceed with further testing, especially IP-connectivity.
Regards,
Stefan :)

Hello pietrucha92
We have the same case in the deployment so can you please help to understand how did you fix the domain route with for partition as all VLAN are in common partition?- pietrucha92
In my case there were 2 problems:
- vlan name was different between F5OS and TMOS - someone who move vlan from Common to other partition make a simple mistake and changed vlan name.
- errors on port 5.0 - possible related to bug https://cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID1614333.html. we moved cable from 5.0 to 7.0 and change this in LAG configuration
That solved all problems

Hi pietrucha92 ,
First and foremost, welcome to the DevCentral Community! It's great that you found us and wants answers to your questions. Fret not, the community will reach out to you to answer your question.
Right now, I've found a technical document from F5 related to your query. You can read more here.
Network Settings -> VLAN
Let me know if this helps at all!- pietrucha92
Thanks!
I'm glad to be with DevCentral community :)About your answer: attached link describe F5OS part which is super clear for me.
Problem is related to very specific case where we use r2600 device with TMOS tenant which have configured few partitions and each partition its own vlan.
In attached BugID there is an info: Partitions other than the Common partition cannot have VLANs
For me is something new because in vCMP or on baremetal appliances I could create vlan in any partition I want.
So main question is: how to prepare vlan config for partition?
1. As always: create rd, create partition, create vlan in partition? (/partition/vlan)
2. Based on BugID: create rd, create partition, add /common/vlan to /common/rd and do not create vlan object in /partition?
I have opened a case and waiting for ground explaining but maybe other member hitted same issue and have good solution for that.- Nikoolayy1
I suggest reading [F5OS-A] After recreating VLANs in tenant on r2000/r4000, traffic is not passing. and [F5OS-A] How to set a trunk vlan to multiple Interfaces on rSeries 2000/4000 series? as you need to delete the assigned from the appliance to the the tenant vlans in the Tenant as they will be by default in the Common partition (do not delete from the Appliance) but you will need to also assign the correct interfaces to the Vlans as r2600 is different than the bigger rSeries devices.
