Defining VLAN Information 9-3
Defining VLAN
Information
To create a VLAN definition:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
bridge vlan define
2 Enter the appropriate protocol: (IP, IPX, Apple, XNS, DECnet, SNA, Vines,
X.25, NetBIOS, default)
3 Enter the integer of the VLAN interface identifier.
4 Enter the VLAN name. The system displays the port types.
5 Enter the numbers of the ports to assign to the VLAN or
all to assign all
ports to the VLAN.
■ If you did not choose the IP protocol, you are finished.
■ If you chose the IP protocol, proceed to steps 6 and 7.
6 To use Layer 3 subnetwork addressing, enter
defined and proceed to
step 8. If you do not want to use Layer 3 subnetwork addressing, enter
undefined and you are finished.
7 Enter the IP subnetwork address.
8 Enter the subnet mask.
Example:
Select menu option (bridge/vlan): define
Enter Protocol Suite (IP,IPX,Apple,XNS,DECnet,SNA,
Vines,X.25,NetBIOS,default): IP
Enter Integer VLAN Identifier: 1
Enter VLAN Name: SD Marketing
Ports 1-2=FDDI, 3-18=Ethernet
Enter port(s) (1-18|all): 1,3-5
Layer 3 Address (undefined, defined): defined
Enter IP Subnet Address: 158.111.122.0
Enter subnet mask [255.255.0.0] 255.255.255.0
You can define up to 32 VLANs on a single bridge. The CoreBuilder 2500
VLAN database allows up to 16 simultaneous VLAN protocols and
reserves the first seven database entries for default, IP, IPX, and AppleTalk
VLANs. The XNS and DEC protocols use three and five of the nine
remaining entries, respectively. If you define DEC and XNS, plus two
additional SNA, VINES, X25, or NetBIOS protocols, you receive a message
that the system's database resources are exhausted.
