Configuring Protocol-Based Vlans - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

You must specify a VLAN ID that is not already in use. For example, if VLAN 10 exists, do not use
"10" as the new VLAN ID for the default VLAN. Valid VLAN IDs are from 1 – 4089; however, do not
use VLANs 4090 – 4094, which are reserved for control purposes.

Configuring protocol-based VLANs

Once port-based VLANs are created, you can further segment the broadcast domains by creating
protocol-based VLANs, based on Layer 3 protocols. Use the general procedure below for creating
protocol-based VLANs.
1. Create the port-based VLAN that contains the interface that you want to segment using Layer 3
2. Under the VLAN configuration level, define the Layer 3 protocol you want to use to segment
3. Assign or exclude specific ports to the protocol-based VLAN

protocols.
BigIron RX(config)# vlan 2
BigIron RX(config-vlan-2)# untag e 1/9 to 1/16
BigIron RX(config-vlan-2)# tagged e 1/1 to 1/8
packets that go through the ports assigned to the port-based VLAN.
BigIron RX(config-vlan-2)# ipv6-proto name Blue
Syntax: [no] ip-proto | ipv6-proto | ipx-proto | atalk-proto | other-proto name
<protocol-vlan-name>
Enter:
•
ip-proto to create a IP protocol VLAN.
•
ipv6-proto to create a IPv6 protocol VLAN.
•
ipx-proto to create a IPX protocol VLAN.
•
atalk-proto to create an Appletalk protocol VLAN.
•
other-proto to create a protocol VLAN for protocols other than an IP protocol, IPv6, IPX, or
Appletalk protocol.
Enter name <vlan-name> if you want to assign a name to the protocol-based VLAN. Enter up to
32 characters for name.
Use the no form of the command to remove the protocol-based VLAN.
BigIron RX(config-vlan-group-ipv6-proto)# static e 1/1 e 1/24
BigIron RX(config-vlan-group-ipv6-proto)# exclude e 1/2 to 1/4
Syntax: [no] static | exclude ethernet <slot-number>/<port-number> [to
<slot-number>/<port-number>]
The static ethernet <slot-number>/<port-number> [to <slot-number>/<port-number>]
parameter adds the specified ports within the port-based VLAN as static ports to the
protocol-based VLAN. Packets of the specified protocol will be forwarded on these ports.
The exclude ethernet <slot-number>/<port-number> [to <slot-number>/<port-number>]
parameter excludes the specified ports from the protocol-based VLAN. Packets of the specified
protocol will be dropped if received on these ports.
