IP subnet, IPX network, and protocol-based VLANs within port-based VLANs
4. To prevent machines with non-IP protocols from getting into the IP portion of VLAN 2, create
another Layer 3 protocol VLAN to exclude all other protocols from the ports that contains the
IP-protocol VLAN. To do so, enter the following commands.
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# other-proto name Block_other_proto
Brocade-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# no dynamic
Brocade-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# exclude e1 to 8
Brocade-A(config-vlan-other-proto)#
5. Create port-based VLAN 3. Note that FESX-B will be the root for this STP domain, so you do not
need to adjust the STP priority.
Brocade-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# vlan 3 name IP-Sub_IPX-Net_Vlans
Brocade-A(config-vlan-3)# untagged e9 to 16
Brocade-A(config-vlan-3)# tagged e25 to 26
Brocade-A(config-vlan-3)# spanning-tree
Brocade-A(config-vlan-3)#
6. Create IP subnet VLAN 1.1.1.0/24, IPX network 1, and other-protocol VLANs
Brocade-A(config-vlan-3)# ip-subnet 1.1.1.0/24 name Green
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# no dynamic
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# static e9 to 12 e25 to 26
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# exclude e13 to 16
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# ipx-net 1 ethernet_802.3 name Brown
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# no dynamic
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# static e9 e13 to 16 e25 to 26
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# exclude e10 to 12
Brocade-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# other-proto name Block_other_proto
Brocade-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# no dynamic
Brocade-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# exclude e9 to 16
Brocade-A(config-vlan-other-proto)#
7. Configure the last port-based VLAN 4. You need to set the STP priority for this VLAN because
FESX-A will be the root bridge for this VLAN. Because you do not need to partition this STP
domain into multiple Layer 3 broadcast domains, this is the only configuration required for
VLAN 4.
Brocade-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# vlan 4 name Purple_ALL-Protocols
Brocade-A(config-vlan-4)# untagged e17 to 24
Brocade-A(config-vlan-4)# tagged e25 to 26
Brocade-A(config-vlan-4)# spanning-tree
Brocade-A(config-vlan-4)# spanning-tree priority 500
Brocade-A(config-vlan-4)#
Configuring Layer 3 VLANs on FESX-B
Enter the following commands to configure FESX-B.
Brocade# config t
Brocade(config)# host Brocade-B
Brocade-B(config)#vlan 2 name IP_IPX_Protocol
Brocade-B(config-vlan-2)# untagged e1 to 8
Brocade-B(config-vlan-2)# tagged e25 to 26
Brocade-B(config-vlan-2)# spanning-tree
Brocade-B(config-vlan-2)# ip-proto name Red
Brocade-B(config-vlan-ip-proto)# # no dynamic
Brocade-B(config-vlan-ip-proto)# static e1 to 4 e25 to 26
Brocade-B(config-vlan-ip-proto)# exclude e5 to 8
Brocade-B(config-vlan-ip-proto)# ipx-proto name Blue
Brocade-B(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# no dynamic
