Enabling/Disabling The Vlan Administrative Status; Modifying The Vlan Description; Assigning Ports To Vlans - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Manual

Assigning Ports to VLANs

Enabling/Disabling the VLAN Administrative Status

To enable or disable the administrative status for an existing VLAN, enter vlan followed by an existing
VLAN ID and either enable or disable.
-> vlan 7 admin-state disable
-> vlan 1 admin-state enable
When the administrative status for a VLAN is disabled, VLAN port assignments are retained but traffic is
not forwarded on these ports.

Modifying the VLAN Description

To change the description for a VLAN, enter vlan followed by an existing VLAN ID and the keyword
name followed by the new description. For example, the following command changes the description for
VLAN 455 to "Marketing IP Network":
-> vlan 455 name "Marketing IP Network"
Assigning Ports to VLANs
The OmniSwitch supports static assignment of physical switch ports to a VLAN. Once the assignment
occurs, a VLAN port association (VPA) is created and tracked by VLAN management software on each
switch. To view current VLAN port assignments in the switch configuration, use the
command.
Methods for statically assigning ports to VLANs include the following:
•
Using the vlan members untagged
ports. See "Changing the Default VLAN Assignment for a Port" on page
•
Using the vlan members tagged
method allows the switch to bridge traffic for multiple VLANs over one physical port connection. See
"Using 802.1Q Tagging" on page
•
Configuring ports as members of a link aggregate that is assigned to a configured default VLAN. (See
Chapter 6, "Configuring Static Link Aggregation"
page 4-6
