IP subnet, IPX network, and protocol-based VLANs within port-based VLANs
To configure the Layer 3 VLANs on the FESX Layer 2 switches in Figure 82, use the following
procedure.
Configuring Layer 3 VLANs on FESX-A
Enter the following commands to configure FESX-A.
1. Create port-based VLAN 2 and assign the untagged and tagged ports that will participate in
this VLAN.
Brocade-A >en
Brocade-A# config t
Brocade-A(config)# vlan 2 name IP_IPX_Protocol
Brocade-A(config-vlan-2)# untagged e1 to 8
Brocade-A(config-vlan-2)# tagged e25 to 26
2. Enable STP and set the priority to force FESX-A to be the root bridge for VLAN 2.
Brocade-A(config-vlan-2)# spanning-tree
Brocade-A(config-vlan-2)# spanning-tree priority 500
Brocade-A(config-vlan-2)#
3. Create the IP and IPX protocol-based VLANs and statically assign the ports within VLAN 2 that
will be associated with each protocol-based VLAN.
Brocade-A(config-vlan-2)# ip-proto name Red
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ip-proto)# no dynamic
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ip-proto)# static e1 to 4 e25 to 26
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ip-proto)# exclude e5 to 8
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ip-proto)# ipx-proto name Blue
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# no dynamic
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# static e1 e5 to 8 e25 to 26
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# exclude e2 to 4
