Configuring super VLANs

Hosts in a VLAN typically use IP addresses in the same subnet. For Layer 3 interoperability with
other VLANs, you can create a VLAN interface for the VLAN and assign an IP address to it. This
requires a large number of IP addresses.
The super VLAN feature was introduced to save IP addresses. A super VLAN is associated with
multiple sub-VLANs. These sub-VLANs use the VLAN interface of the super VLAN (also known as a
super VLAN interface) as the gateway for Layer 3 communication.
You can create a VLAN interface for a super VLAN and assign an IP address to it. However, you
cannot create a VLAN interface for a sub-VLAN. You can assign a physical port to a sub-VLAN, but
you cannot assign a physical port to a super VLAN. Sub-VLANs are isolated at Layer 2.
You can enable Layer 3 communication between sub-VLANs by performing the following tasks:
Create a super VLAN and the VLAN interface for the super VLAN.
1.
Enable local proxy ARP or ND on the super VLAN interface as follows:
2.
In an IPv4 network, enable local proxy ARP on the super VLAN interface. The super VLAN
can then process ARP requests and replies sent from the sub-VLANs.
In an IPv6 network, enable local proxy ND on the super VLAN interface. The super VLAN
can then process the NS and NA messages sent from the sub-VLANs.

Configuring a super VLAN

When you configure a super VLAN, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
Do not configure the VLAN of a MAC address-to-VLAN entry as a super VLAN.
•
Do not configure a VLAN as both a super VLAN and a guest VLAN, Auth-Fail VLAN, or critical
VLAN. For more information about guest VLANs, Auth-Fail VLANs, and critical VLANs, see
Security Configuration Guide.
•
Do not configure a VLAN as both a super VLAN and a sub-VLAN.
•
Layer 2 multicast configuration for super VLANs does not take effect because they do not have
physical ports.
