VLAN Commands

Mobility System Software Command Reference Guide

Version 7.3

6 – 74

You cannot use a number as the first character in the VLAN name. It is recommended that you do

not use the same name with different capitalizations for VLANs. For example, do not configure

two separate VLANs with the names red and RED.

VLAN names are case-sensitive for RADIUS authorization when a client roams to an MX. If the

switch is not configured with the VLAN of the client, but is configured with a VLAN with the same

spelling but different capitalization, authorization for the client fails. For example, if the client is

on VLAN red but the MX to which the client roams has VLAN RED instead, RADIUS

authorization fails.

Examples

The following command assigns the name marigold to VLAN 3:

MX# set vlan 3 name marigold

success: change accepted.

See Also

set vlan port on page 6-74

set vlan port

Assigns one or more network ports to a VLAN. You also can add a virtual port to each network

port by adding a tag value to the network port.

Syntax

set vlan vlan-id port port-list [tag tag-value]

Defaults

By default, no ports are members of any VLANs. An MX cannot forward traffic on the

network until you configure VLANs and add network ports to the VLANs.

Access

Enabled.

History

Introduced in MSS Version 1.0.

Usage

You can combine this command with the set port name command to assign the name and

add the ports at the same time.

If you do not specify a tag value, the MX sends untagged frames for the VLAN. If you do specify a

tag value, the MX sends tagged frames only for the VLAN.

If you do specify a tag value, it is recommended to use the same value as the VLAN number. MSS

does not require the VLAN number and tag value to be the same but it can be required by devices

from other vendors.

Examples

The following command assigns the name beige to VLAN 11 and adds ports 1 through 3

to the VLAN:

MX# set vlan 11 name beige port 1-3

success: change accepted.

The following command adds port 16 to VLAN beige and assigns tag value 86 to the port:

MX# set vlan beige port 16 tag 86

success: change accepted.
