Configuring super aggregated VLANs
NOTE
In these examples, the configurations of the edge devices (A, B, E, and F) are identical. The
configurations of the core devices (C and D) also are identical. The aggregated VLAN configurations
of the edge and core devices on one side must be symmetrical (in fact, a mirror image) to the
configurations of the devices on the other side. For simplicity, the example in Figure 102 on
page 479 is symmetrical in terms of the port numbers. This allows the configurations for both sides
of the link to be the same. If your configuration does not use symmetrically arranged port numbers,
the configurations should not be identical but must use the correct port numbers.
Commands for device A
PowerConnectA(config)# vlan 101 by port
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-101)# tagged ethernet 2/1
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-101)# untagged ethernet 1/1
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-101)# exit
PowerConnectA(config)# vlan 102 by port
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-102)# tagged ethernet 2/1
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-102)# untagged ethernet 1/2
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-102)# exit
PowerConnectA(config)# vlan 103 by port
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-103)# tagged ethernet 2/1
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-103)# untagged ethernet 1/3
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-103)# exit
PowerConnectA(config)# vlan 104 by port
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-104)# tagged ethernet 2/1
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-104)# untagged ethernet 1/4
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-104)# exit
PowerConnectA(config)# vlan 105 by port
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-105)# tagged ethernet 2/1
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-105)# untagged ethernet 1/5
PowerConnectA(config-vlan-105)# exit
PowerConnectA(config)# write memory
Commands for device B
The commands for configuring device B are identical to the commands for configuring device A.
Notice that you can use the same channel VLAN numbers on each device. The devices that
aggregate the VLANs into a path can distinguish between the identically named channel VLANs
based on the ID of the path VLAN.
PowerConnectB(config)# vlan 101 by port
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-101)# tagged ethernet 2/1
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-101)# untagged ethernet 1/1
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-101)# exit
PowerConnectB(config)# vlan 102 by port
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-102)# tagged ethernet 2/1
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-102)# untagged ethernet 1/2
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-102)# exit
PowerConnectB(config)# vlan 103 by port
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-103)# tagged ethernet 2/1
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-103)# untagged ethernet 1/3
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-103)# exit
PowerConnectB(config)# vlan 104 by port
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-104)# tagged ethernet 2/1
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-104)# untagged ethernet 1/4
PowerConnectB(config-vlan-104)# exit
