Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs)

Figure 11.22 Dual-mode VLAN port example
To enable the dual-mode feature on port 2/11 in Figure 11.22:
FastIron SuperX Router(config)# vlan 20
FastIron SuperX Router(config-vlan-20)# tagged e 2/11
FastIron SuperX Router(config-vlan-20)# tagged e 2/9
FastIron SuperX Router(config-vlan-20)# int e 2/11
FastIron SuperX Router(config-if-e1000-2/11)# dual-mode
FastIron SuperX Router(config-if-e1000-2/11)# exit
Syntax: [no] dual-mode
You can configure a dual-mode port to transmit traffic for a specified VLAN (other than the DEFAULT-VLAN) as
untagged, while transmitting traffic for other VLANs as tagged. Figure 11.23 illustrates this enhancement.
Figure 11.23 Specifying a default VLAN ID for a dual-mode port
In Figure 11.23, tagged port 2/11 is a dual-mode port belonging to VLANs 10 and 20. The default VLAN assigned
to this dual-mode port is 10. This means that the port transmits tagged traffic on VLAN 20 (and all other VLANs to
which the port belongs) and transmits untagged traffic on VLAN 10.
