Process Overview: 802.1Q VLAN Configuration
Port String Syntax Used in the CLI
7-2 Matrix E1 Series (1G58x-09 and 1H582-xx) Configuration Guide
7.2 PROCESS OVERVIEW: 802.1Q VLAN CONFIGURATION
Use the following steps as a guide to configure VLANs on the device (refer to the associated section
in parentheses):
1. Review existing VLANs (Section 7.3.1)
2. Create and name VLANs (Section 7.3.2)
3. Assign port VLAN IDs and Ingress Filtering (Section 7.3.3)
4. Configure VLAN Egress (Section 7.3.4)
5. Assign VLANs according to classification rules (Section 7.3.5)
6. Filter (drop) incoming frames according to classification rule (Section 7.3.5)
7. Set the host VLAN (Section 7.3.6)
8. Create a secure management VLAN (Section 7.3.7)
9. Enable / Disable GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) (Section 7.3.8)
Preparing for VLAN Configuration
A little forethought and planning is essential to a good VLAN implementation. Before attempting
to configure a single device for VLAN operation, consider the following:
• How many VLANs will be required?
• What stations will belong to them?
• What ports are connected to those stations?
• What ports will be configured as GVRP-aware ports?
It is also helpful to sketch out a diagram of your VLAN strategy.
NOTES: Before you can use the Matrix E1 device for IP routing, you must dedicate two
or more VLANs as IP routing uplinks. To do this, you must:
• Disable Spanning Tree on the ports to be dedicated as routing uplinks, as described
in Chapter 6, Spanning Tree Configuration.
• Create new VLANs from these dedicated ports, as described in this chapter.
• In router mode, assign IP addresses to the new VLANs, as described in Chapter 12,
IP Configuration.
