Manage VLANs using SNMP
The qBridgeMIB managed objects in Q-BRIDGE-MIB, defined in RFC 2674, allows you to use SNMP to manage VLANs.
Creating a VLAN
To create a VLAN, use the dot1qVlanStaticRowStatus object.
The snmpset operation shown in the following example creates VLAN 10 by specifying a value of 4 for instance 10 of the
dot1qVlanStaticRowStatus object.
> snmpset -v2c -c mycommunity 123.45.6.78 .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1.5.10 i 4
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.17.7.1.4.3.1.5.10 = INTEGER: 4
Assigning a VLAN Alias
Write a character string to the dot1qVlanStaticName object to assign a name to a VLAN.

> snmpset -v2c -c mycommunity 10.11.131.185 .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1.1.1107787786 s "My
VLAN"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.17.7.1.4.3.1.1.1107787786 = STRING: "My VLAN"

Displaying the Ports in a VLAN
Dell EMC Networking OS identifies VLAN interfaces using an interface index number that is displayed in the output of the show
interface vlan command.
Add Tagged and Untagged Ports to a VLAN
The value dot1qVlanStaticEgressPorts object is an array of all VLAN members.
The dot1qVlanStaticUntaggedPorts object is an array of only untagged VLAN members. All VLAN members that are not in
dot1qVlanStaticUntaggedPorts are tagged.
● To add a tagged port to a VLAN, write the port to the dot1qVlanStaticEgressPorts object.
● To add an untagged port to a VLAN, write the port to the dot1qVlanStaticEgressPorts and dot1qVlanStaticUntaggedPorts
objects.
NOTE:
Whether adding a tagged or untagged port, specify values for both dot1qVlanStaticEgressPorts and
dot1qVlanStaticUntaggedPorts.
Example of Adding an Untagged Port to a VLAN using SNMP
In the following example, Port 0/2 is added as an untagged member of VLAN 10.
>snmpset -v2c -c mycommunity 10.11.131.185 .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1.2.1107787786 x "40
