Foundry Networks FESX User Manual

Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs)
December 2005 © Foundry Networks, Inc. 11 - 25
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# exclude e2 to 4
4. To prevent machines with non-IP protocols from getting into the IP portion of VLAN 2, create another Layer 3
protocol VLAN to exclude all other protocols from the ports that contains the IP-protocol VLAN. To do so,
enter the following commands:
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# other-proto name Block_other_proto
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# no dynamic
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# exclude e1 to 8
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-other-proto)#
5. Create port-based VLAN 3. Note that FESX-B will be the root for this STP domain, so you do not need to
adjust the STP priority.
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# vlan 3 name IP-Sub_IPX-Net_Vlans
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-3)# untag e9 to 16
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-3)# tag e25 to 26
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-3)# spanning-tree
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-3)#
6. Create IP sub-net VLAN 1.1.1.0/24, IPX network 1, and other-protocol VLANs
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-3)# ip-subnet 1.1.1.0/24 name Green
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# no dynamic
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# static e9 to 12 e25 to 26
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# exclude e13 to 16
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ip-subnet)# ipx-net 1 ethernet_802.3 name Brown
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# no dynamic
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# static e9 e13 to 16 e25 to 26
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# exclude e10 to 12
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-ipx-network)# other-proto name Block_other_proto
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# no dynamic
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# exclude e9 to 16
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-other-proto)#
7. Configure the last port-based VLAN 4. You need to set the STP priority for this VLAN because FESX-A will
be the root bridge for this VLAN. Since you do not need to partition this STP domain into multiple Layer 3
broadcast domains, this is the only configuration required for VLAN 4:
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-other-proto)# vlan 4 name Purple_ALL-Protocols
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-4)# untag e17 to 24
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-4)# tag e25 to 26
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-4)# spanning-tree
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-4)# spanning-tree priority 500
FESX424 Switch-A(config-vlan-4)#
Configuring FESX-B
Enter the following commands to configure FESX-B:
FESX424 Switch# config t
FESX424 Switch(config)# host FESX424 Switch-B
FESX424 Switch-B(config)# vlan 2 name IP_IPX_Protocol
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-2)# untag e1 to 8
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-2)# tag e25 to 26
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-2)# spanning-tree
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-2)# ip-proto name Red
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-ip-proto)# no dynamic
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-ip-proto)# static e1 to 4 e25 to 26
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-ip-proto)# exclude e5 to 8
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-ip-proto)# ipx-proto name Blue
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# no dynamic
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# static e5 to 8 e25 to 26
FESX424 Switch-B(config-vlan-ipx-proto)# exclude e1 to 4
