Configuring VLANs Using SNMP

3.2.1.2 Creating a VLAN

In addition to the checks stated in the section titled Modifying a VLAN, the following checks are also completed, if you created a VLAN:

If a restriction is in effect for any port selected for this VLAN. If one of these ports is restricted from becoming a member of this VLAN, the command is aborted.

If the IP address was specified, the IP address is set.

After passing all tests, the local variables are stored in the VLAN table. The ports selected are added to the existing port list.

If the unit is not in 802.1Q mode, the changes are saved in non-volatile memory and used when the unit is configured in 802.1Q mode and then rebooted.

After the hardware is informed about a VLAN in 802.1Q mode, the following will be performed by the firmware:

-The hardware is informed of which ports on the VLAN to delete.

-The BPDU addresses and Management Processor (MP) MAC address are added to the database, if they were not there already.

-All of the learned addresses are deleted for this VLAN.

3.2.1.3 Deleting a VLAN

In addition to the checks stated in the section titled Modifying a VLAN, the following checks are also completed, if you deleted a VLAN:

If any of the selected ports has this VLAN ID set for the default VLAN ID, the command is aborted.

If this check passes, the local variables are moved to the table entry selected by the index variable.

If the IP address was specified, the IP address is set.

If the switch is operating in 802.1Q mode, the following will be performed by the firmware:

-The hardware is informed of which ports on the VLAN to delete.

-All learned addresses for this VLAN are deleted.
