Adding Ports to a Single Virtual Router
When you add a port to a VR, that port can only be used by that VR.
To add a port to a single VR, use the following command:
configure vr <vr-name> add ports <portlist>
The following example demonstrates how to remove all the ports on slot 3 from the Default
VLAN in VR-Default and add them for the exclusive use of user VR helix:
configure vlan default delete ports 3:*
configure vr vr-default delete ports 3:*
configure vr helix add ports 3:*
Adding Ports to Multiple Virtual Routers
To use a port in multiple VRs, do not add the port to a VR, as described in the previous
section. Add the port to a VLAN in the desired VR.
Note: See Chapter 15, QoS for details about how multiple VRs per port
can affect DiffServ and code replacement.
Note: You should configure any protocols you want to use on a user VR
before you add a VLAN to the user VR. When IP multicast
forwarding will be supported on a user VR, add the PIM protocol
before you enable IP multicast forwarding.
The following example demonstrates how to add port 3:5 to user VRs VR-green and
VR-blue. The tagged VLAN bldg_200 was previously configured in VR-green, and the tagged
VLAN bldg_300 was previously configured in VR-blue.
configure vlan default delete ports 3:5
configure vr vr-default delete ports 3:5
configure vlan bldg_200 add ports 3:5 tagged
configure vlan bldg_300 add ports 3:5 tagged
Displaying Ports and Protocols
You can display the ports, protocols, and names of protocol processes for a VR by using the
following command:
show virtual-router {<vr-name>}
