Port-Based VLAN Configuration 87
n
Before creating a VLAN interface, ensure that the corresponding VLAN already
exists. Otherwise, the specified VLAN interface will not be created.
Port-Based VLAN
Configuration
Introduction to
Port-Based VLAN
This is the simplest and yet the most effective way of classifying VLANs. It groups
VLAN members by port. After added to a VLAN, a port can forward the packets of
the VLAN.
Port link type
Based on the tag handling mode, a port’s link type can be one of the following
three:
■ Access port: the port only belongs to one VLAN, normally used to connect user
device;
■ Trunk port: the port can belong to multiple VLANs, can receive/send packets for
multiple VLANs, normally used to connect network devices;
■ Hybrid port: the port can belong to multiple VLANs, can receive or send
packets for multiple VLANs, used to connect either user or network devices;
The differences between Hybrid and Trunk port:
■ A Hybrid port allows packets of multiple VLANs to be sent without the Tag
label;
■ A Trunk port only allows packets from the default VLAN to be sent without the
Tag label.
Configure an IP address for
the VLAN interface
ip address ip-address { mask |
mask-length } [ sub ]
Optional
Not configured by default
Specify the descriptive string
for the VLAN interface
description text Optional
VLAN interface name is used
by default, for example,
“Vlan-interface1 Interface”.
Bring up the VLAN interface undo shutdown Optional
By default, a VLAN interface is
up. The state of a VLAN
interface also depends on the
states of the ports in the
VLAN. If all the ports in the
VLAN are down, the VLAN
interface is down; if one or
more ports in the VLAN are
up, the VLAN interface is up.
If a VLAN interface is manually
shut down, the VLAN
interface is always down
regardless of the states of
ports in the VLAN.
