Configuration Menu  122  
 
 
The commands in this menu configure VLAN attributes, change the status of the VLAN, delete the VLAN, and change 
the port membership of the VLAN.  
By default, the VLAN menu option is disabled except VLAN 1, which is always enabled. The GbE2c supports a 
maximum of 1,000 VLANs. VLAN 4095 is reserved for switch management.  
 
NOTE:  See the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Application Guide for information on 
VLANs. 
 
The following table describes the VLAN Configuration Menu options. 
Table 120  VLAN Configuration Menu options 
Command Description 
name <1-32 characters>  Assigns a name to the VLAN or changes the existing name. The default 
VLAN name is the first one. 
stg <1-32>  Assigns a VLAN to a spanning tree group. 
add <port number>  Adds ports to the VLAN membership. 
rem <port number>  Removes ports from the VLAN membership. 
def <list of port numbers>  Defines which ports are members of this VLAN. Every port must be a 
member of at least one VLAN. By default, it defines ports to VLAN 1. 
ena 
Enables this VLAN. 
dis  Disables this VLAN without removing it from the configuration. 
del  Deletes this VLAN. 
cur  Displays the current VLAN configuration. 
 
 
IMPORTANT:  All ports must belong to at least one VLAN. Any port which is removed from a VLAN and which 
is not a member of any other VLAN is automatically added to default VLAN #1. You cannot remove a port 
from VLAN #1 if the port has no membership in any other VLAN.  Also, you cannot add a port to more than 
one VLAN unless the port has VLAN tagging turned on. See the tag command, in the “Port configuration” 
section earlier in this chapter.
