Configuring VLANs

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot enable VLAN aggregation using the Web management interface. The other options you need for configuring Aggregated VLANs are present in earlier software releases and are supported in the Web management interface. See the “Configuring Virtual LANs“ chapter in the September 2000 or later edition of the Installation and Getting Started Guide.

Configuring Aggregated VLANs on a Core Device

To configure aggregated VLANs on a core device, use one of the following methods.

USING THE CLI

To configure the aggregated VLANs on device C in Figure 16.17 on page 16-45,enter the following commands:

HP9300(config)# tag-type 9100

HP9300(config)# aggregated-vlan

HP9300(config)# vlan 101 by port

HP9300(config-vlan-101)# tagged ethernet 4/1

HP9300(config-vlan-101)# untagged ethernet 3/1

HP9300(config-vlan-101)# exit

HP9300(config)# vlan 102 by port

HP9300(config-vlan-102)# tagged ethernet 4/1

HP9300(config-vlan-102)# untagged ethernet 3/2

HP9300(config-vlan-102)# exit

HP9300(config)# write memory

Syntax: [no] tag-type <num>

Syntax: [no] aggregated-vlan

The <num> parameter specifies the tag type can be a hexadecimal value from 0 – ffff. The default is 8100.

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot enable VLAN aggregation using the Web management interface.

Verifying the Configuration

You can verify the VLAN, VLAN aggregation option, and tag configuration by viewing the running-config. To display the running-config, enter the show running-configcommand from any CLI prompt. After you save the configuration changes to the startup-config, you also can display the settings in that file by entering the show configuration command from any CLI prompt.

Complete CLI Examples

The following sections show all the Aggregated VLAN configuration commands on the devices in Figure 16.17 on page 16-45.

NOTE: In these examples, the configurations of the edge devices (A, B, E, and F) are identical. The configurations of the core devices (C and D) also are identical. The aggregated VLAN configurations of the edge and core devices on one side must be symmetrical (in fact, a mirror image) to the configurations of the devices on the other side. For simplicity, the example in Figure 16.17 on page 16-45is symmetrical in terms of the port numbers. This allows the configurations for both sides of the link to be the same. If your configuration does not use symmetrically arranged port numbers, the configurations should not be identical but must use the correct port numbers.

Commands for Device A

HP9300A(config)# vlan 101 by port

HP9300A(config-vlan-101)# tagged ethernet 2/1

HP9300A(config-vlan-101)# untagged ethernet 1/1

HP9300A(config-vlan-101)# exit

HP9300A(config)# vlan 102 by port

HP9300A(config-vlan-102)# tagged ethernet 2/1
