Configuration Examples

VLANs are used to associate physical ports on the IA with connected hosts that may be
physically separated but need to participate in the same broadcast domain. To associate
ports to a VLAN, you must first create a VLAN and then assign ports to the VLAN. This
section shows examples of creating an IP VLAN and a DECnet, SNA, and AppleTalk
VLAN.

Creating an IP VLAN

In this example, servers connected to ports gi.1.1 and gi.1.2 on the IA need to
communicate with clients connected to ports et.4.1 through et.4.8. You can associate all the
ports containing the clients and servers to an IP VLAN named BLUE.
First, enter the following command to create an IP VLAN named BLUE:
ia(config)# vlan create BLUE ip
Next, enter the following command to assign ports to the VLAN named BLUE:
ia(config)# vlan add ports et.4.(1-8),gi.1.(1-2) to BLUE

Creating a Non-IP VLAN

In this example, SNA, DECnet, and AppleTalk hosts are connected to ports et.1.1 and
et.2.1 through et.2.4. You can associate all the ports containing these hosts to a VLAN
named RED with the VLAN ID 5.
First, enter the following command to create a VLAN named RED:
ia(config)# vlan create RED sna dec appletalk id 5
Next, enter the following command to assign ports to the RED VLAN:
ia(config)# vlan add ports et.1.1, et.2.(1-4) to RED
