Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs)
This chapter describes how to configure Virtual LANs (VLANs) on HP Routing Switches.
The “Overview” section provides basic information about HP’s VLAN options. Following this section, other
sections provide configuration procedures and examples.
To display configuration information for VLANs, see “Displaying VLAN Information” on page 7-60.
For complete syntax information for the CLI commands shown in this chapter, see the

Most of the configuration examples in this chapter are based on CLI commands. For Web management
procedures, see “Configuring VLANs Using the Web Management Interface” on page 7-54.
NOTE: For information about the GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP), see “Configuring GARP VLAN
Registration Protocol (GVRP)” on page 8-1.
Overview
This section describes the HP VLAN features. Configuration procedures and examples appear in later sections of
this chapter.
Types of VLANs
You can configure the following types of VLANs on HP devices.
• Layer 2 port-based VLAN – a set of physical ports that share a common, exclusive Layer 2 broadcast domain
• Layer 3 protocol VLANs – a subset of ports within a port-based VLAN that share a common, exclusive
broadcast domain for Layer 3 broadcasts of the specified protocol type
• IP sub-net VLANs – a subset of ports in a port-based VLAN that share a common, exclusive sub-net
broadcast domain for a specified IP sub-net
• IPv6 VLANs – a subset of ports in a port-based VLAN that share a common, exclusive network broadcast
domain for IPv6 packets
• IPX network VLANs – a subset of ports in a port-based VLAN that share a common, exclusive network
broadcast domain for a specified IPX network
• AppleTalk cable VLANs – a subset of ports in a port-based VLAN that share a common, exclusive network
broadcast domain for a specified AppleTalk cable range
