Advanced Configuration and Management Guide

You cannot have an AppleTalk cable VLAN and an AppleTalk protocol VLAN in the same port-based VLAN. If you already have an AppleTalk protocol VLAN in the port-based VLAN, you must delete the AppleTalk protocol VLAN first, then configure the AppleTalk cable VLAN.

Configuration Example

Figure 3 shows an example of an HP 9308M routing switch with four AppleTalk cable VLANs configured on a single port-based VLAN. In this example, port-based VLAN 10 is configured, then AppleTalk cable VLANs are configured on ports on chassis modules 2 and 3. Each virtual interface (ve1, ve2, ve3, and ve4) is then configured with AppleTalk routing information for the cable VLAN.

Configuring the VLANs

To configure the VLANs shown in Figure 3, enter the following CLI commands:

HP9300(config)# vlan 10 by port

HP9300(config-vlan-10)# untag ethe 2/1 to 2/2 ethe 3/1 to 3/8

The two commands above add port-based VLAN 10 and add ports 2/1, 2/2, and 3/1 – 3/16 to the VLAN. The untag command removes ports from the default VLAN and adds them to port-based VLAN 10. (The default VLAN contains all the ports in the system by default.) The untag command also allows the ports to process packets that do not contain 802.1p tagging.
