Properties
VLANs are configured through various VLAN properties on Ethernet ports and
vNICs.
Ethernet Port
The port properties documented in this section are supported on all versions of GE
I/O modules.
Mode
This property specifies how VLAN tagged and untagged frames must be handled
across the port. It also indicates whether the port can be configured to carry multiple
VLAN traffic or just allow untagged frames in its access VLAN domain only.
You can set the Ethernet port’s VLAN mode through the set ethernet-port
command, as shown:
The -mode option takes the following qualifiers:
set ethernet-port <slot/port> -mode=access|trunk
access By default, an Ethernet port operates in access mode, meaning it
forwards (transmits or receives) untagged frames only. All tagged frames
received from the network or vNIC are dropped. Use trunk mode, when
both untagged and VLAN tagged frames are to be carried across the
Ethernet port.
You can set access mode of operation through the commands, as shown:
set ethernet-port <slot/port> -mode=access
set lag <slot.id> -mode=access
