Clearing counters
To clear the byte counter for a VLAN, enter a command such as the following:
BigIron RX(config) #clear vlan byte-accounting 10
You can also enter the following command to clear the byte counter for all VLANs
BigIron RX(config) #clear vlan byte-accounting all-vlans
Syntax: clear vlan byte-accounting <vlan-id> | all-vlans
Enter a VLAN ID if you want to clear the byte counters for a specific VLAN. Enter all-vlans to clear the
byte counters for all VLANs.
Strictly or explicitly tagging a port
If you want a port to be strictly or explicitly tagged, that port has to be removed from the default
VLAN. Enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# vlan 2
BigIron RX(config-vlan-2)# tagged e 1/1 to 1/8
BigIron RX(config-vlan-2)# vlan 1
BigIron RX(config-vlan-1)# no untagged e 1/1 to 1/8
Assigning or changing a VLAN priority
You can prioritize traffic on a VLAN by assigning a priority to a VLAN. All packets associated with the
VLAN will be classified to the configured priority.
BigIron RX(config-vlan-2)# priority 2
Syntax: [no] priority <num>
Possible Values: 0 - 7, "0" assigns the lowest priority and "7", the highest priority. The default is "0".
Assigning a different ID to the default VLAN
As stated above, by default, all ports on a device belong to the default VLAN, which is VLAN 1, until
it is assigned to a port-based VLAN. The default VLAN port membership is always untagged;
however, if you want to use VLAN ID 1 as a configurable VLANs with tagged port members, you can
assign a different VLAN ID as the default VLAN. Enter commands such as the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# default-vlan-id 4000
Syntax: [no] default-vlan-id <vlan-id>
