EX2500 Ethernet Switch Configuration Guide
Table 8: Components of Sample Network with Multiple VLANs (2 of 2)
Component | Description | |
|
|
|
Server 5 | A member of VLAN 1 and VLAN 2, this server can communicate only with Server 1, Server 2, and | |
| Server 3. | |
| The associated switch port has tagging enabled. | |
|
|
|
Enterprise | These switches must have all three VLANs (VLAN 1, 2, 3) configured. They can communicate with | |
Routing switches | Server 1, Server 2, and Server 5 via VLAN 1. They can communicate with Server 3 and Server 5 via | |
| VLAN 2. They can communicate with Server 4 via VLAN 3. | |
| Tagging on switch ports is enabled. | |

NOTE: VLAN tagging is required only on ports that are connected to other switches or on ports that connect to
Use the following procedure to configure the sample network shown in Figure 6.
1. Enable VLAN tagging on server ports that support multiple VLANs.
ex2500(config)# interface port 5
2. Enable tagging on uplink ports that support multiple VLANs.
ex2500(config)# interface port 19
3. Configure the VLANs and their member ports.
By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1, so configure only those ports that belong to other VLANs.
ex2500(config)# vlan 2
