Adding Ports to a VLAN

The add ports command, in Specific VLAN Configuration mode, adds the specified port(s) as
either tagged or untagged. The command assigns the port the ability to handle VLAN tagging in
the Ethernet packet in ingress and egress. Tagged ports look for a VLAN tag that is assigned in
ingress packets. In egress packets, the VLAN is assigned to the packet according to the
configuration.
A single usage of the add ports command allows the user to only specify ports that are all tagged
or all untagged. For a "mixed" configuration, the user can apply this command more than once.
See also the create range command in VLAN Configuration mode.

Description
Adds ports to a VLAN.
Removes ports from a VLAN.
Sets PVID of specified port(s).
Removes PVID of specified port(s).
Includes the CPU as a member of the VLAN.
Excludes the CPU from membership in the VLAN.
Assigns an IP interface to the VLAN number.
When the user sets the port as untagged member on a VLAN, the user MUST set
this VLAN as the port PVID. To set the port PVID use the add ports default
command in Specific VLAN Configuration mode or the default vlan command in
Interface Configuration mode.
If the user has set the port as untagged member on several VLANs, its PVID
MUST be at least one of them.
(Optional). One or more port numbers, specified by the following options:
•
UU/SS/PP –a single port specified by unit, slot and port number, e.g. – 1/1/8;
•
UU – all ports on the unit that is specified by a 1 or 2-digit unit number;
