Configuring The Port-Based Vlan; Introduction To The Port-Based Vlan - H3C S9500 Series Operation Manual

Operation Manual – VLAN
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches
Follow these steps to configure VLAN interface basic attributes:
Enter system view
Create a VLAN interface
or enter VLAN interface
view
Configure an IP address
for the VLAN interface
Specify the descriptive
character string for the
VLAN interface
Bring up the VLAN
interface
Note:
Before creating a VLAN interface, ensure that the corresponding VLAN already exists.
Otherwise, the specified VLAN interface will not be created.

1.4 Configuring the Port-Based VLAN

1.4.1 Introduction to the Port-Based VLAN

This is the simplest and yet the most effective way of classifying VLANs. It groups
VLAN members by port. After added to a VLAN, a port can forward the packets of the
VLAN.
To do... Use the command...
system-view
interface
vlan-interface
vlan-interface-id
ip address ip-address
{ mask | mask-length }
[ sub ]
description text
undo shutdown
—
Required
This command leads you to
VLAN interface view if the
VLAN interface already
exists.
Optional
Not configured by default
Optional
VLAN interface name used
by default
Optional
By default, a VLAN interface
is up. The state of a VLAN
interface also depends on
the states of the ports in the
VLAN. If all the ports in the
VLAN are down, the VLAN
interface is down; if one or
more ports in the VLAN are
up, the VLAN interface is up.
If a VLAN interface is
administratively shut down,
the VLAN interface is always
down regardless of the
states of ports in the VLAN.
