IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
Configuring VLAN Groups
Use the VLAN > Static (Add) page to create or remove VLAN groups, set administrative status, or
specify Remote VLAN type (see “Configuring Remote Port Mirroring” on page 706). To propagate
information about VLAN groups used on this switch to external network devices, you must specify a
VLAN ID for each of these groups.
CLI References
“Editing VLAN Groups” on page 374
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Add
VLAN ID – ID of VLAN or range of VLANs (1-4093).
Up to 4093 VLAN groups can be defined. VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN.
Status Enables or disables the specified VLAN.
Remote VLAN – Reserves this VLAN for RSPAN (see “Configuring Remote Port Mirroring” on
page 706).
L3 Interface Sets the interface to support Layer 3 configuration, and reserves memory space
required to maintain additional information about this interface type. This parameter must be
enabled before you can assign an IP address to a VLAN (see “Setting the Switch’s IP Address
(IP Version 4)” on page 1047).
NOTE
Management access and routing functions are supported for IPv4 interfaces, but only
management access is supported for IPv6 interfaces at this time.
Modify
VLAN ID – ID of configured VLAN (1-4093).
VLAN Name – Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).
Status Enables or disables the specified VLAN.
L3 Interface Sets the interface to support Layer 3 configuration, and reserves memory space
required to maintain additional information about this interface type. This parameter must be
enabled before you can assign an IP address to a VLAN.
MAC-Learning When enabled, the switch uses the normal rules for MAC-address learning.
When the switch receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways. If the frame is
untagged, the switch assigns the frame to an associated VLAN (based on the default VLAN ID
of the receiving port). But if the frame is tagged, the switch uses the tagged VLAN ID to identify
the port broadcast domain of the frame. When disabled, the switch floods ingress traffic to all
ports in the specified VLAN. This mode is used primarily for testing. (Default: Enabled)
Show
VLAN ID – ID of configured VLAN.
VLAN Name – Name of the VLAN.
Status – Operational status of configured VLAN.
Remote VLAN – Shows if RSPAN is enabled on this VLAN (see “Configuring Remote Port
Mirroring” on page 706).
