Vlan Port Mobile - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Cli Reference Manual

vlan port mobile

Configures Ethernet ports as mobile ports and enables or disables BPDU ignore. Mobile ports are eligible
for dynamic VLAN assignment, which occurs when mobile port traffic matches a VLAN rule on one or
more VLANs. Typically, mobility is applied to ports that do not send or receive BPDUs. However,
enabling BPDU ignore allows BPDU ports to also participate in dynamic VLAN assignment.
Note. Enabling BPDU ignore is not recommended. In specific cases where it is required, such as connect-
ing legacy networks to port mobility networks, make sure that ignoring BPDUs on a mobile port will not
cause network loops to go undetected. Connectivity problems could also result if a mobile BPDU port
dynamically moves out of its configured default VLAN where it provides traffic flow to and from another
switch.

Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to disable mobility on the specified port.
•
Only 10/100 and gigabit Ethernet ports are eligible for mobile port status.
•
Mobile ports can join more than one VLAN. For example, if a device connected to a mobile port sends
both IP and IPX traffic and VLAN 10 has an IP protocol rule and VLAN 20 has an IPX protocol rule,
the mobile port and its device dynamically join both VLANs. However, certain rules, such as MAC
address rules, can limit port membership to one VLAN.

The slot number for the module and the physical port number on that
module (e.g., 3/1 specifies port 1 on slot 3). To enter multiple slots and
ports in a single command, use a hyphen to specify a range of ports
(e.g., 3/1-16) and a space to specify multiple slots (e.g., 3/1-16 5/10-20
8/2-9).
