Port-Based Virtual LANs (VLANs) and GVRP

Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)

Converting a Dynamic VLAN to a Static VLAN. If GVRP is running on the switch and a port dynamically joins a VLAN, you can use the next command to convert the dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN. (For GVRP and dynamic VLAN operation, see “GVRP” on page 11-34.) This is necessary if you want to make the VLAN permanent. After you convert a dynamic VLAN to static, you must configure the switch’s per-port participation in the VLAN in the same way that you would for any static VLAN.

 

Syntax:

static-vlan <vlan-id>

(Use show vlan to list current VIDs.)

 

For example, suppose a dynamic VLAN with a VID of 125 exists on the switch.

 

The following command converts the VLAN to a static VLAN.

 

HPswitch(config)# static-vlan 125k

 

Configuring Static VLAN Name and Per-Port Settings. The vlan <vlan-

 

id> command, used with the options listed below, changes the name of an

 

existing static VLAN and changes the per-port VLAN membership settings.

 

 

N o t e

You can use these options from the configuration level by beginning the

 

command with vlan <vlan-id>, or from the context level of the specific VLAN.

 

Syntax:

name <vlan-name>

Changes the name of the existing static

 

 

 

 

VLAN. (Avoid spaces and the following

 

 

 

characters in the <vlan-name>entry: 2, #,

 

 

[no] tagged <port-list>

$, ^, &, *, (, and ).)

 

 

Configures the indicated port(s) as

 

 

 

Tagged for the specified VLAN. The

 

 

 

no” version sets the port(s) to

 

 

 

either No or (if GVRP is enabled) to Auto.

 

 

[no] untagged <port-list>Configures the indicated port(s) as

 

 

 

Untagged for the specified VLAN. The

 

 

 

no” version sets the port(s) to

 

 

[no] forbid <port-list>

either No or (if GVRP is enabled) to Auto.

 

 

Configures the indicated port(s) as

 

 

 

“forbidden” to participate in the

 

 

 

designated VLAN. The “no” version sets

 

 

 

the port(s) to either No or (if GVRP is

 

 

auto <port-list>

enabled) to Auto.

 

 

Available if GVRP is enabled on the

 

 

 

switch. Returns the per-port settings

 

 

 

for the specified VLAN to Auto

 

 

 

operation. Note that Auto is the default

 

 

 

per-port setting for a static VLAN if

 

 

 

GVRP is running on the switch.

(For information on dynamic VLAN and GVRP operation, see “GVRP” on page 11-34.)
