Assign An Ip Address To A Vlan; Native Vlans - Dell Force10 MXL Blade Configuration Manual

The only way to remove an interface from the default VLAN is to place the interface in Default mode by
using the

Assign an IP Address to a VLAN

VLANs are a Layer 2 feature. For two physical interfaces on different VLANs to communicate, you must
assign an IP address to the VLANs to route traffic between the two interfaces.
The
shutdown
command only prevents Layer 3 traffic from traversing over the interface.
Note: You cannot assign an IP address to the default VLAN, which, by default, is VLAN 1. To assign
another VLAN ID to the default VLAN, use the
To assign an IP address, use the following command in INTERFACE mode:

In FTOS, you can place VLANs and other logical interfaces in Layer 3 mode to receive and send routed
traffic. For more information, refer to

Native VLANs

Traditionally, ports can be either untagged for membership to one VLAN or tagged for membership to
multiple VLANs. An untagged port must be connected to a VLAN-unaware station (one that does not
understand VLAN tags), and a tagged port must be connected to a VLAN-aware station (one that generates
and understands VLAN tags).
Native VLAN support breaks this barrier so that a port can be connected to both VLAN-aware and
VLAN-unaware stations. Such ports are called "hybrid ports". Physical and port-channel interfaces may be
hybrid ports.
Native VLAN is useful in deployments where a Layer 2 port can receive both tagged and untagged traffic
on the same physical port. The classic example is connecting a voice over IP (VOIP) phone and a PC to the
same port of the switch. The VOIP phone is configured to generate tagged packets (with VLAN = VOICE
VLAN), and the attached PC generates untagged packets.
