Configuring An 802.1Q Vlan; Enabling Tagging On A Port - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Manual

Configuring 802.1Q

Configuring an 802.1Q VLAN

The following sections detail procedures for creating 802.1Q VLANs and assigning ports to 802.1Q
VLANs.

Enabling Tagging on a Port

To set a port to be a tagged port, you must specify a VLAN identification (VID) number and a port
number. You may also optionally assign a text identification.
For example, to configure port 4 on slot 3 to be a tagged port, enter the following command at the CLI
prompt:
-> vlan 5 802.1q 3/4
Tagging would now be enabled on port 3/4, with a VID of 5.
To add tagging to a port, and label it with a text name, you would enter the text identification following
the slot and port number. For example, to enable tagging on port 4 of slot 3 with a text name of port tag,
enter the command in the following manner:
-> vlan 5 802.1q 3/4 "port tag"
The tagged port would now also be labeled port tag. Note that you must use quotes around the text
description.
The VLAN used to handle traffic on the tagged port must be created prior to using the vlan 802.1q
command. Creating a VLAN is described in
For more specific information, see the
