Depending on whether you answered yes or no to the VLAN configuration, you then define
the different characteristics of the VLANS. If you selected to configure VLANs in Example 4-6
on page 132, you can enable or disable VLAN tagging for the port (Example 4-9).
Example 4-9 VLAN tagging configuration
Port VLAN tagging config (tagged port can be a member of multiple VLANs)
Current VLAN tag support: disabled
Enter new VLAN tag support [d/e]:
Enter d to disable VLAN tagging for the port or enter e to enable VLAN tagging for the port. To
keep the current setting, press Enter.
The system prompts you to configure the next port (Example 4-10).
Example 4-10 Next port configuration
Enter port (INT1-14, MGT1-2, EXT1-64):
We use VLAN tagging on some of the ports. For more details about the precise configuration
we used, see Chapter 3, “Reference architectures” on page 107.
The next steps are repeated for all the ports in the switch that you select in the prompt shown
in Example 4-10. When you are done configuring the ports, press Enter without specifying
any port.
If you want to change settings for individual VLANs, enter the number of the VLAN you want
to configure (Example 4-11). To skip VLAN configuration, press Enter without entering a
VLAN number.
Example 4-11 VLAN Config
VLAN Config:
Enter VLAN number from 2 to 4094, NULL at end:
Entering a new VLAN name is optional (Example 4-12). To use the pending new VLAN name,
press Enter.
Example 4-12 VLAN name
Current VLAN name: VLAN 2
Enter new VLAN name:
Enter each port, by port number or port alias, and confirm the placement of the port into this
VLAN (Example 4-13). When you are finished adding ports to this VLAN, press Enter without
specifying any port.
Example 4-13 Define ports in a VLAN
Define Ports in VLAN:
Current VLAN 2: empty
Enter ports one per line, NULL at end:
