Port Mobility Commands
page 21-18 OmniSwitch 6250 CLI Reference Guide November 2009
vlan port
Defines a port rule for an existing VLAN. An active mobile port that is specified in a port rule, dynami-
cally joins the VLAN even if traffic on that port does not get learned or matches any VLAN rules. The
specified port becomes a VLAN member only for the purpose of forwarding broadcast traffic for a VLAN
on that port. The advantage to this is that traffic from multiple VLANs can flood out on a single port.
vlan vid port slot/port
vlan vid no port slot/port
Syntax Definitions
vid VLAN ID number (1–4094).
slot/port The slot number for the module and the physical mobile port number on
that module (e.g., 3/1 specifies port 1 on slot 3). To enter multiple slots
and ports in a single command, use a hyphen to specify a range of ports
(e.g., 3/1-16) and a space to specify multiple slots (e.g., 3/1-16 5/10-20
8/2-9).

Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to delete a port rule from the specified VLAN.
•
Port rules are for silent devices, such as printers, that require VLAN membership to receive traffic
forwarded from the VLAN. These devices usually don’t send traffic, so they do not trigger dynamic
assignment of their mobile ports to a VLAN.
•
Port rules do not classify incoming traffic on the specified mobile port. Incoming traffic is classified for
VLAN assignment in the same manner as all other mobile port traffic.
•
VLAN assignments that are defined using port rules are exempt from the port’s default VLAN restore
status.
•
An alternative to port rules is to manually assign a port to a VLAN by using the vlan port default
command. This applies to both mobile and non-mobile ports.
•
Rules are only assigned to existing VLANs. Use the vlan command to create a new VLAN.
