Configuring VLANs

7.Select the virtual interface from the Router_Interface pulldown list if you configured a virtual interface for routing into and out of the VLAN.

8.Select the encapsulation type from the Frame_Type field’s pulldown list.

9.Enter the IPX network address of the VLAN in the Network field.

10.Specify the port that are members for the VLAN:

•Select Dynamic Port if you want the port membership to be dynamic. For information, see “Dynamic Ports” on page 16-9.

•Click the Change Static Members button if you want to configure static ports. For information, see “Static Ports” on page 16-10.

•Click the Change Exclude Members button if you want to explicitly exclude some ports. For information, see “Excluded Ports” on page 16-10.

NOTE: All the ports must be members of the port-based VLAN that contains this IPX network VLAN. See “Layer 3 Protocol-Based VLANs” on page 16-3.

11.Click the Add button (if you are adding a new VLAN) or the Modify button (if you are modifying an existing VLAN) to save the change to the device’s running-config file.

12.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.

NOTE: You also can access the dialog for saving configuration changes by clicking on Command in the tree view, then clicking on Save to Flash.
