Creating a VLAN for Banyan Vines Traffic
Banyan Vines uses a fixed encapsulation for each network interface. For this reason, it is
straightforward to create a VLAN for Banyan Vines traffic. For Ethernet traffic, Banyan Vines
uses Ethernet II encapsulation; Token Ring uses LLC; FDDI uses SNAP. This procedure
describes how to create a VLAN for Ethernet, Token, and FDDI traffic. Follow these steps to
create a Banyan Vines VLAN:
1. Type cratvl at any prompt.
2. The following prompt displays:
Enter the VLAN Group id for this VLAN ( 1):
Enter the number for the Group to which this Banyan Vines VLAN will belong.
3. The following prompt displays:
Enter the VLAN Id for this VLAN ( 2):
Enter the number that will identify this VLAN within the Group specified above. By default
the system displays the next available VLAN ID number. Press <Enter> to accept this
default.
4. The following prompt displays:
Enter the new VLAN’s description:
Enter a textual description that will help you identify the VLAN. For example, you might
call the VLAN, “Banyan Vines VLAN.” You may use up to 30 characters for this description.
5. The following prompt displays:
Enter the Admin Status for this vlan (Enable (e) / Disable (d):
Enter whether or not you want the Administrative Status for this VLAN to be enabled or
disabled. Once enabled, the switch begins using the policies you defined. A disabled
VLAN is still defined (name, number, policies intact), but the switch keeps the VLAN
disabled. The enable/disable status may be changed at a later time using the modatvl
command.
6. The following menu displays:
Select rule type:
1. Port Rule
2. MAC Address Rule
3. Protocol Rule
4. Network Address Rule
5. User Defined Rule
6. Binding Rule
7. DHCP PORT Rule
8. DHCP PORT Rule
Enter rule type (1):
Press 3 and press <Enter>.
7. The following prompt displays:
Set Rule Admin Status to ((e)nable/(d)isable):
Type e to enable this rule. When enabled, the VLAN will begin using the rule to deter-
mine membership of devices.
