The only way to remove an interface from the Default VLAN is to place the interface in Default mode by using
the no switchport command in INTERFACE mode.
Assigning an IP Address to a VLAN
VLANs are a Layer 2 feature. For two physical interfaces on different VLANs to communicate, you must assign
an IP address to the VLANs to route traffic between the two interfaces.
The shutdown command in INTERFACE mode does not affect Layer 2 traffic on the interface; the shutdown
command only prevents Layer 3 traffic from traversing over the interface.
NOTE
: You cannot assign an IP address to the Default VLAN (VLAN 1). To assign another VLAN ID to the
Default VLAN, use the default vlan-id vlan-id command.
In the Dell Networking OS, you can place VLANs and other logical interfaces in Layer 3 mode to receive and
send routed traffic. For more information, refer to Bulk Configuration.
To assign an IP address, use the following command.
• Configure an IP address and mask on the interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask [secondary]
• ip-address mask — Enter an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D) and the mask must be in
slash format (/24).
• secondary — This is the interface’s backup IP address. You can configure up to eight secondary IP
addresses.
Configuring Native VLANs
Traditionally, ports can be either untagged for membership to one VLAN or tagged for membership to
multiple VLANs.
You must connect an untagged port to a VLAN-unaware station (one that does not understand VLAN tags),
and you must connect a tagged port to a VLAN-aware station (one that generates and understands VLAN
tags).
