DESCRIPTION
VLANs are logical, or "virtual," network segments that can span multiple physical network segments. A
primary benefit of VLANs is that they can isolate broadcast and multicast traffic by determining which des-
tinations should receive that traffic, thereby making better use of switch and end-station resources.
The commands described here are for interactive administration of HP-UX virtual LANs (VLANs).
Changes made to VLANs interactively with the
lanadmin -V command are not preserved between sys-
tem reboots. See WARNINGS.
VLAN lanadmin Command Summary
lanadmin -V create
Create a VLAN.
lanadmin -V modify
Modify a VLAN.
lanadmin -V delete vppa
Delete a VLAN.
lanadmin -V scan
Identify all VLANs and their properties.
lanadmin -V info vppa
Identify a single VLAN and its properties. The command returns 0 on successful completion and
-1 on failure.
lanadmin -V basevppa
Find the minimum acceptable value for a virtual PPA (VPPA).
lanadmin -V help
Display the usage message for the lanadmin -V options.
lanadmin -p ppa
Display the usage information for the interface corresponding to ppa. Test if upper-layer proto-
cols or applications are running. Use it before deleting VLANs. See lanadmin(1M) for details.
VLAN lanadmin Options
The lanadmin command has the following VLAN options:
name name
Specify an optional name for the VLAN. The default is the null string (""). lanadmin
displays this as UNNAMED. name is a string of 0 to 31 alphanumeric characters.
pri priority
Specify the 802.1p priority in the tag in the frame header. Switches use the 802.1p priority. The
valid range for priority is 0-7. The default is 0.
pri_override level
Priority override provides a mechanism to convert IP level precedence (IPV4 ToS octet) to link
