Configuring a Port-Based VLAN

Configuring a Port-Based VLAN

Configuration prerequisites
Create a VLAN before configuring a port-based VLAN.
Configuration procedure
Follow these steps to configure a port-based VLAN:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view
Enter VLAN view vlan vlan-id
Add Ethernet ports to the specific
VLAN port interface-list Required
By default, all the ports belong
to the default VLAN (VLAN 1).
The commands above are effective for access ports only. If you want to add trunk ports or hybrid ports
to a VLAN, you need to use the port trunk permit vlan command or the port hybrid vlan command in
Ethernet port view. For the configuration procedure, refer to the section of configuring Ethernet ports in
the "Port Basic Configuration" part of the manual.

Protocol-Based VLAN Configuration Example

Network requirements
z As shown in Figure 2-1, Switch A and Switch B each connect to a server and a workstation (PC).
z For data security concerns, the two servers are assigned to VLAN 101 with the descriptive string
being “DMZ”, and the PCs are assigned to VLAN 201.
z The devices within each VLAN can communicate with each other but that in different VLANs
cannot communicate with each other directly.
