Configuring a VLAN

This section shows you how to create a VLAN and assign ports.

Creating a VLAN

The 8100fl switch supports standards-based VLAN trunking between multiple
8100fl switches as defined by IEEE 802.1Q. 802.1Q adds a header to a standard
Ethernet frame. These VLAN IDs extend the VLAN broadcast domain to more
than one switch.
■ To create a VLAN, enter the following command in Configuration mode:
ProCurve(config)#vlan <ID>
To create a range of VLANs, enter the following command in Configura­
■
tion mode:
ProCurve(config)#vlan <number range>
To set the VLAN aging time, enter the following command in VLAN
■
Configuration mode.
ProCurve(config-vlan)#aging <aging-time>
For example, to set VLAN 229 aging time to 30 seconds, enter
ProCurve(config)#vlan 229
ProCurve(config-vlan-229)#aging 30
■ To assign a name and description to the specified VLAN, enter the follow­
ing commands in VLAN Configuration mode.
ProCurve(config-vlan-229)#name <string>
ProCurve(config-vlan-229)#description <string>
