Configuring SVLANs
SVLANs carry customer traffic and are not configurable or modifiable using standard VLAN commands. 
The ethernet-service svlan command is used to create an SVLAN. This command provides parameters to 
specify the type of SVLAN: svlan for customer traffic.For example, the following command creates a 
customer SVLAN:
-> ethernet-service svlan 300
Similar to standard VLANs, the administrative and Spanning Tree status for the SVLAN is enabled by 
default and the SVLAN ID is used as the default name. The ethernet-service svlan command also 
provides parameters for changing any of these status values and the name. These are the same parameters 
that are used to change these values for standard VLANs. For example, the following commands change 
the administrative and Spanning Tree status and name for SVLAN 300:
-> ethernet-service svlan 300 disable
-> ethernet-service svlan 300 stp disable
-> ethernet-service svlan 300 name “Customer A”
To delete an SVLAN from the switch configuration, use the no form of the ethernet-service svlan 
command. For example, to delete SVLAN 300 enter:
-> no ethernet-service svlan 300
