Configuring and Managing VLANs 87

Displaying Port Group Information

To display port group information, use the following command:

display port-group [name group-name]

To display the configuration and status of port group server2, type the following command:

WX1200# display port-group name server2

Port group: server2 is up

Ports: 2, 5

Interoperating with Cisco Systems EtherChannel

Load-sharing port groups are interoperable with Cisco Systems EtherChannel capabilities. To configure a Cisco Catalyst switch to interoperate with a 3Com WX switch, use the following command on the Catalyst switch:

set port channel port-listmode on

Configuring and The CLI commands in this chapter configure VLANs on WX switch

Managing VLANs network ports. The commands do not configure VLAN membership for wireless or wired authentication users. To assign a user to a VLAN, configure the RADIUS Tunnel-Private-Group-ID attribute or the VLAN-Name vendor specific attribute (VSA) for that user. (For more information, see Chapter 21, “Configuring AAA for Network Users,” on page 433.)

Understanding A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a Layer 2 broadcast domain that can span multiple VLANs in 3Com MSS wired or wireless LAN segments. Each VLAN is a separate logical network

and, if you configure IP interfaces on the VLANs, MSS treats each VLAN as a separate IP subnet.

Only network ports can be preconfigured to be members of one or more VLAN(s). You configure VLANs on a WX switch’s network ports by configuring them on the switch itself. You configure a VLAN by assigning a name and network ports to the VLAN. Optionally, you can assign VLAN tag values on individual network ports. You can configure multiple VLANs on a WX switch’s network ports. Optionally, each VLAN can have an IP address.
