Configuring for VLAN
This chapter explains how to configure your SN 5428-2 Storage Router for a virtual local area network
(VLAN) and contains the following sections:
• Prerequisite Tasks, page 4-1
• VLAN Encapsulation, page 4-1
• Configuration Tasks, page 4-2
• Configuring for VLAN with VTP, page 4-4
• Configuring for VLAN without VTP, page 4-4
• Configuring an IP Route, page 4-5
• Verifying and Saving Configuration, page 4-5
• Assigning a VLAN to a SCSI Routing Instance, page 4-6
You can configure for VLAN using CLI commands, as described in this chapter, or via the web-based
GUI. To access the web-based GUI, point your browser to the storage router’s management interface IP
address. After logging on, click the Help link to access online help for the GUI.
Note The VLAN function is not available for SN 5428-2 Storage Routers deployed for FCIP.
Prerequisite Tasks
Before configuring for VLAN, make sure you have configured all system parameters as described in
Chapter 2, “First-Time Configuration,” or Chapter 3, “Configuring System Parameters.”
VLAN Encapsulation
The SN 5428-2 Storage Router uses the IEEE 802.1Q standard for VLAN encapsulation.
Note If the storage router is connected to a Cisco switch, the switch port must be configured as a trunk port
and the encapsulation set to 802.1Q, not Inter-Switch Link (ISL), which is the default setting for trunk
ports. The switch port must also be set to VLAN 1.
