Configuring, Modifying, and Monitoring the Unit

Important Considerations

Before configuring your VLAN you must strictly follow the scenario:

1.Set the VLAN mode to tagged.

2.Set the server ports (see Server Port chapter in this manual).

3.Set the tagging ports (see ISVLAN chapter in this manual).

4.Configure the new VLAN.

5.Configure the management VLAN.

Virtual LANs can be used to limit the broadcast domain and to establish secure virtual workgroups. The following parameters are used within the VLAN commands.

run – indicates that only the currently running configuration is changed. Changes are not restored after a reset.

nvram – indicates that only the configuration stored in non-volatile memory is changed. Changes do not take effect until a warm or cold reset.

all – indicates that both the currently running configuration and the non-volatile configuration is changed. The changes take effect immediately and are restored after a reset.

Viewing the VLAN Mode

get-vlan-mode

get-vlan-mode {runnvram}

Example

SYS_console>get-vlan-mode run

Runtime VLAN mode is disabled

SYS_console>

Setting the VLAN Mode

set-vlan-mode

Three modes are available: vbc, tag or none. The modes are mutually exclusive (i.e. only one mode can be defined for running session). The default mode is none.

set-vlan-mode <database> <VLAN state>

[arg #0] database type - either {runnvramall} [arg #1] VLAN state: either {vbctagnone}

Example

SYS_console>set-vlan-mode run tag

Set run VLAN mode tag – OK

SYS_console>
