Configuring VLANs on the Switch
ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Concepts Guide 91
NOTE
Each IP address and mask assigned to a VLAN must represent a unique IP subnet. You cannot
configure the same IP subnet on different VLANs.
NOTE
If you plan to use this VLAN as a control VLAN for an EAPS domain, do NOT assign an IP address to
the VLAN.
3 Assign a VLANid, if any ports in this VLAN will use a tag.
4 Assign one or more ports to the VLAN.
As you add each port to the VLAN, decide if the port will use an 802.1Q tag.
5 For management VLAN, configure the default iproute for virtual router VR-0.
VLAN Configuration Examples
NOTE
To add an untagged port to a VLAN you create, you must first delete that port from the default vlan. if
you attempt to add an untagged port to a VLAN prior to deleting it from the default VLAN, you see the
following error message:
Error: Protocol conflict when adding untagged port 1:2. Either add this port as
tagged or assign another protocol to this VLAN.
The following modular switch example creates a port-based VLAN:
• Named accounting
• IP address 132.15.121.1
• Slot 2, ports 1, 2, 3, and 6, and slot 4, ports 1 and 2
create vlan accounting
configure accounting ipaddress 132.15.121.1
configure default delete port 2:1-2:3,2:6,4:1,4:2
configure accounting add port 2:1-2:3,2:6,4:1,4:2
NOTE
Because VLAN names are unique, you do not need to enter the keyword vlan after you have created
the unique VLAN name. You can use the VLAN name alone (unless you are also using this name for
another category such as STPD or EAPS, in which case Extreme Networks recommends including the
keyword
vlan).
The following modular switch example creates a protocol-based VLAN named ipsales. Slot 5, ports 6
through 8, and slot 6, ports 1, 3, and 4-6 are assigned to the VLAN. In this example, you can add
untagged ports to a new VLAN without first deleting them from the default VLAN, because the new
VLAN uses a protocol other than the default protocol.
