15 Configuring 802.1Q
802.1Q is the IEEE standard for segmenting networks into VLANs. 802.1Q segmentation is done by
adding a specific tag to a packet.
In this Chapter
This chapter describes the basic components of 802.1Q VLANs and how to configure them through the
Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more
details about the syntax of commands, see “802.1Q Commands” in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Configuration procedures described in this chapter include:
• Setting up an 802.1Q VLAN for a specific port. See “Enabling Tagging on a Port” on page 15-5.
• Setting up an 802.1Q VLAN for a link aggregation group. See “Enabling Tagging with Link Aggrega-
tion” on page 15-5.
• Configuring 802.1Q VLAN parameters. See “Configuring the Frame Type” on page 15-6.
For information on creating and managing VLANs, see Chapter 4, “Configuring VLANs.”
For information on creating and managing link aggregation groups, see Chapter 16, “Configuring Static
Link Aggregation” and Chapter 17, “Configuring Dynamic Link Aggregation.”
