Virtual LANs (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.
VLAN Configuration Examples
The following example creates a port-based VLAN named accounting, assigns the IP address
132.15.121.1, and assigns ports 1, 2, 3, and 6:
create vlan accounting
configure accounting ipaddress 132.15.121.1
configure default delete port 1-3,6
configure accounting add port 1-3,6
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.
The following example creates a tag-based VLAN named video. It assigns the VLANid 1000. Ports 4
through 8 are added as tagged ports to the VLAN.
create vlan video
configure video tag 1000
configure video add port 4-8 tagged
The following example creates a VLAN named sales, with the VLANid 120. The VLAN uses both tagged
and untagged ports. Ports 1 through 3 are tagged, and ports 4 and 7 are untagged. Note that when not
explicitly specified, ports are added as untagged.
create vlan sales
configure sales tag 120
configure sales add port 1-3 tagged
configure default delete port 4,7
configure sales add port 4,7
Displaying VLAN Settings
To display VLAN settings, use the following command:
show vlan {<vlan name> | detail | stats {vlan} <vlan name>}
The show command displays summary information about a specific VLAN, which includes:
• Name.
• VLANid.
