Configuration procedures and examples appear in later sections of this chapter. Types of VLANs You can configure the following types of VLANs on HP devices.
  • Page 199 Installation and Getting Started Guide When an HP device receives a packet on a port that is a member of a VLAN, the device forwards the packet based on the following VLAN hierarchy: • If the port belongs to an IP sub-net VLAN, IPX network VLAN, or AppleTalk cable VLAN and the packet belongs to the corresponding IP sub-net, IPX network, or AppleTalk cable range, the device forwards the packet to all the ports within that VLAN.
  • Page 200 Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs) Since each port-based VLAN is a separate Layer 2 broadcast domain, by default each VLAN runs a separate instance of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Layer 2 traffic is bridged within a port-based VLAN and Layer 2 broadcasts are sent to all the ports within the VLAN.
  • Page 201: Default Vlan

    Default VLAN By default, all the ports on an HP device are in a single port-based VLAN. This VLAN is called DEFAULT-VLAN and is VLAN number 1. HP devices do not contain any protocol VLANs or IP sub-net, IPX network, or AppleTalk cable VLANs by default.
  • Page 202: Q Tagging

    802.1q tagging is an IEEE standard that allows a networking device to add information to a Layer 2 packet in order to identify the VLAN membership of the packet. HP devices tag a packet by adding a four-byte tag to the packet.
  • Page 203 If you use tagging on multiple devices, each device must be configured for tagging and must use the same tag value. In addition, the implementation of tagging must be compatible on the devices. The tagging on all HP devices is compatible with other HP devices.

    User-configured port-based VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) STP is disabled by default on HP Routing Switches. Also by default, each port-based VLAN has a separate instance of STP. Thus, when STP is globally enabled, each port-based VLAN on the device runs a separate spanning tree.

For example, to enable an HP 9304M, HP 9308M, or HP 9315M Routing Switch to route IP traffic from one IP sub-net VLAN to another, you must configure a virtual interface on each IP sub-net VLAN, then configure the appropriate IP routing parameters on each of the virtual interfaces.
  • Page 206 Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs) • Static ports You also can explicitly exclude ports. Dynamic Ports Dynamic ports are added to a VLAN when you create the VLAN. However, if a dynamically added port does not receive any traffic for the VLAN’s protocol within ten minutes, the port is removed from the VLAN. However, the port remains a candidate for port membership.
  • Page 207 Installation and Getting Started Guide Ports in a new protocol VLAN that do not receive traffic for the VLAN’s protocol age out after 10 minutes and become candidate ports. Figure 7.8 shows what happens if a candidate port receives traffic for the VLAN’s protocol.

    VLAN, nor can you have an IPX protocol VLAN and an IPX network VLAN in the same port-based VLAN. As an HP device receives packets, the VLAN classification starts from the highest level VLAN first. Therefore, if an interface is configured as a member of both a port-based VLAN and an IP protocol VLAN, IP packets coming into the interface are classified as members of the IP protocol VLAN because that VLAN is higher in the VLAN hierarchy.
  • Page 209: Routing Between Vlans

    Some configurations may require simultaneous switching and routing of the same single protocol across different sets of ports on the same router. When IP, IPX, or Appletalk routing is enabled on an HP Routing Switch, you can route these protocols on specific interfaces while bridging them on other interfaces. In this scenario, you can create two separate backbones for the same protocol, one bridged and one routed.

    Dynamic Port Assignment All Switch ports are dynamically assigned to any non-routable VLAN on HP Routing Switches. To maintain explicit control of the VLAN, you can explicitly exclude ports when configuring any non-routable Layer 3 VLAN on an HP Routing Switch.
