Setting Up The Management Vlan; Creating A Vlan; Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol - Dell Force10 S2410-01-10GE-24P Configuration Manual

Setting Up the Management VLAN

As described in
address, you can manage the switch through an IP-based access method (SNMP, Telnet, etc.); any enabled
port in the management VLAN is available for the IP-based access.
By default, the management VLAN is set up on the default VLAN 1, which, on first startup, includes every
port (although, by default, all ports are shut down until you enable them—see
To set up a different VLAN to be the management VLAN, see
Changing the Management VLAN from the Default on page 68

Creating a VLAN

Note: As noted in
with no shutdown all (Global Config mode), or individually with the no shutdown command on
each port.
Here is an example of using the CLI to create a VLAN (55) and add interfaces to it:
Figure 3-17. Using the CLI to Configure a VLAN
Force10 (Config)#interface vlan 55
Force10 (Conf-if-vl-55)#tagged 1/0/5
Force10 (Conf-if-vl-55)#untagged 1/0/6
Note: If you need to assign many ports to the VLAN, you might use the Interface Range mode.
The
tagged 1/0/5
VLAN ID (PVID) to 55, causing untagged frames transmitted by this port to be tagged as part of traffic for
VLAN 55.

Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is off by default. Enable STP globally, and then enable STP on the desired
ports. Using the CLI, you can enable spanning tree globally, and on all the ports with just two commands
