HP9308-A(config-vlan-4)#
4. Enter the following commands to exit the VLAN CONFIG mode and save the configuration to the system-
config file on flash memory:
HP9308-A(config-vlan-4)#
HP9308-A(config-vlan-4)# end
HP9308-A# write memory
HP9308-A#
NOTE: Beginning in software release 07.5.00, you can remove all the ports from a port-based VLAN without
losing the rest of the VLAN's configuration. However, you cannot configure an IP address on a virtual interface
unless the VLAN contains ports. If the VLAN has a virtual interface, the virtual interface's IP address is deleted
when the ports associated with the interface are deleted. The rest of the VLAN configuration is retained.
In software releases earlier than 07.5.00, if you remove all the ports from a VLAN, the software removes the VLAN
configuration entirely.
Assigning a Higher Priority to a VLAN
Suppose you wanted to give all traffic on Purple VLAN 2 in Figure 7.10 higher priority than all the other VLANs.
Use the following procedure to do so.
USING THE CLI
1. Access the global CONFIG level of the CLI on 9308-A by entering the following command:
HP9308-A> enable
No password has been assigned yet...
HP9308-A# configure terminal
HP9308-A(config)#
2. Access the level of the CLI for configuring port-based VLAN 2 by entering the following command:
HP9308-A(config)#
HP9308-A(config)# vlan 2
HP9308-A(config-vlan-2)#
3. Enable all packets exiting the Routing Switch on VLAN 2 to transmit from the highest priority hardware queue
of each transmit interface. For Chassis devices, possible levels are 0 (normal) – 7 (highest).
HP9308-A(config-vlan-2)#
HP9308-A(config-vlan-2)# priority 7
HP9308-A(config-vlan-2)#
4. Enter the following commands to exit the VLAN CONFIG mode and save the configuration to the system-
config file on flash memory:
HP9308-A(config-vlan-2)#
HP9308-A(config-vlan-2)# end
HP9308-A# write memory
HP9308-A#
5. Repeat steps 1 – 4 on 9308-B.
Syntax: vlan <vlan-id> by port
Syntax: priority 0 – 7
Enable Spanning Tree on a VLAN
The spanning tree bridge and port parameters are configurable using one CLI command set at the Global
Configuration Level of each Port-based VLAN. Suppose you want to enable the IEEE 802.1d STP across VLAN 3.
To do so, use the following method.
