Add VLANs for routing interfaces | Nortel Networks 42C4911 guide

			Alteon OS Application Guide
1. Add VLANs for routing interfaces.

	>> Main# cfg/l2/vlan 2/ena		(Enable VLAN 2)
	>> VLAN 2# add ext2		(Add port EXT2 to VLAN 2)
	Port EXT2 is an UNTAGGED port and	its current PVID is 1.
	Confirm changing PVID from 1 to 2	[y/n]: y
	>> VLAN 2# /cfg/l2/vlan 3/ena		(Enable VLAN 3)
	>> VLAN 3# add ext3		(Add port EXT3 to VLAN 3)
	Port EXT3 is an UNTAGGED port and	its current PVID is 1.
	Confirm changing PVID from 1 to 3	[y/n]: y

2. Add IP interfaces to VLANs.

>>Main# cfg/l3/if 2/ena

>>IP Interface 2# addr 102.1.1.1

>>IP Interface 2# vlan 2

>>IP Interface 2# /cfg/l3/if 3/ena

>>IP Interface 3# addr 103.1.1.1

>>IP Interface 3# vlan 3

(Enable interface 2)

(Define IP address for interface 2) (Add interface 2 to VLAN 2) (Enable interface 3)

(Define IP address for interface 3) (Add interface 3 to VLAN 3)

3.Turn on RIP globally and enable RIP for each interface.

>> Main# cfg/l3/rip on

(Turn on RIP globally)

>>Routing Information Protocol# if 2/ena (Enable RIP on IP interface 2)

>>RIP Interface 2# ..

>>Routing Information Protocol# if 3/ena (Enable RIP on IP interface 3)

>>	RIP	Interface	3#	apply	(Apply your changes)
>>	RIP	Interface	3#	save	(Save the configuration)

Use the /maint/route/dump command to check the current valid routes in the routing table of the switch.

For those RIP learnt routes within the garbage collection period, that are routes phasing out of the routing table with metric 16, use the /info/l3/rip/routes command. Locally con- figured static routes do not appear in the RIP Routes table.
