Modifying a Group or VLAN

After creating a Group (through crgp) or VLAN (through cratvl, see Chapters 20 and 22), you
can change any of their parameters through the modvl command. In addition, if you did not
set up a virtual router port (IP or IPX) during the initial Group or VLAN configuration, you can
set one up with modvl. To use this command, enter modvl followed by the Group number and
VLAN number to change. For example, to modify parameters in Group 2, VLAN 1, enter:
modvl 2
Note that you do not need to specify a VLAN number to modify the default VLAN within a
Group. To modify parameters in Group 2, VLAN 2, you would enter:
modvl 2:2
A screen similar to the following displays.
Current values associated with GROUP 2.1 are as follows:
1) GROUP Number - 2:1
2) Description - New GROUP (#2)
IP Parameters:
3) IP enabled - Y
4) IP Network Address - 198.206.101.12
5) IP Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
6) IP Broadcast Address - 198.206.101.255
7) Router Description - Router Port #2
8) RIP Mode - Silent
{Active (a), Inactive (i), Deaf (d), Silent (s)}
9) Routing disabled - N
11) Default Framing - Ethernet II
{Ethernet II(e), Ethernet 802.3 (8), fddi (f),
token ring (t), source route token ring (s)}
IPX parameters:
12) IPX enabled - N
(save/quit/cancel)

The Group number at the top of this sample screen is followed by the number 1 (GROUP 2.1),
meaning that the information applies to default VLAN #1 in this Group. If this screen displayed
information on Group 2, VLAN 2, then this field would read GROUP 2:2.
The colon prompt (:) at the bottom of the screen is used to prompt for user input. To change
a value, type the line number of the item you want to change, followed by an equal sign (=)
and the new value. For example, to set a new description you could enter:
2=Engineering
All of the modvl parameters are described in the section for creating a new Group, Creating a
New Group on page 19-18.
♦ Note ♦
Line numbering for the modvl command will vary
depending on whether you have an IP or IPX router
configured. Each type of router contains several param-
eters that require extra line numbers.
