operation. Note that Auto is the default per-port setting for a static VLAN if GVRP is runing on the switch.

(For information on dynamic VLAN and GVRP operation, see “GVRP” on page 9-74.)

For example, suppose you have a VLAN named VLAN100 with a VID of 100, and all ports are set to No for this VLAN. To change the VLAN name to “Blue_Team” and set ports 1-5 to Tagged, you could do so with these com- mands:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# vlan 100 name Blue_Team SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# vlan 100 tagged 1-5

To move to the vlan 100 context level and execute the same commands:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# vlan 100

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(vlan-100)# name Blue_Team

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(vlan-100)# tagged 1-5

Similarly, to change the tagged ports in the above examples to No (or Auto, if GVRP is enabled), you could use either of the following commands.

At the config level, use:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# no vlan 100 tagged 1-5

- or -

At the VLAN 100 context level, use:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(vlan-100)# no tagged 1-5

N o t e

You cannot use these commands with dynamic VLANs. Attempting to do so

 

results in the message “VLAN already exists.” and no change occurs.
