Using Vlans To Segregate Broadcast Domains - HP GbE2c - Blc Layer 2/3 Fiber SFP Option Application Manual

Using VLANs to segregate broadcast domains

In the previous example, devices that share a common IP network are all in the same broadcast domain. If you want
to limit the broadcasts on your network, you could use VLANs to create distinct broadcast domains. For example, as
shown in the following procedure, you could create one VLAN for the client trunks, one for the routers, and one for
the servers.
In this example, you are adding to the previous configuration.
1. Determine which switch ports and IP interfaces belong to which VLANs.
The following table adds port and VLAN information:
Table 23 Subnet routing example: Optional VLAN ports
VLAN Devices
1 First Floor Client Workstations
Second Floor Client Workstations
2 Primary Default Router
Secondary Default Router
3 Common Servers 1
Common Servers 2
2. Add the switch ports to their respective VLANs.
The VLANs shown in the table above are configured as follows:
>> # /cfg/l2/vlan 1(Select VLAN 1)
>> VLAN 1# add port 20
>> VLAN 1# add port 21
>> VLAN 1# ena
>> VLAN 1# ../VLAN 2
>> VLAN 2# add port 22
>> VLAN 2# add port 23
>> VLAN 2# ena
>> VLAN 2# ../VLAN 3
>> VLAN 3# add port 1
>> VLAN 3# add port 2
>> VLAN 3# ena
Each time you add a port to a VLAN, you may get the following prompt:
Port 4 is an untagged port and its current PVID is 1.
Confirm changing PVID from 1 to 2 [y/n]?
Enter y to set the default Port VLAN ID (PVID) for the port.
