VLAN configuration and management

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL

switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#

switchport mode trunk

5. Specify whether all, one, or none of the VLAN interfaces are allowed to transmit and receive

through the CEE interface. Enter the following command that is appropriate for your needs.

•

This example allows the VLAN numbered as 30 to transmit/receive through the CEE
interface:

switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#

switchport trunk allowed vlan add 30

•

To allow all VLANs to transmit/receive through the CEE interface:

switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#

switchport trunk allowed vlan all

•

This example allows all except VLAN 11 to transmit/receive through the CEE interface:

switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#

switchport trunk allowed vlan except 11

•

To allow none of the VLANs to transmit/receive through the CEE interface:

switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#

switchport trunk allowed vlan none

Disabling a VLAN on a trunk interface

To disable a VLAN on a trunk interface, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.

1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2. Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.

switch(config)#

interface tengigabitethernet 0/10

3. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.

4. Enter the switchport command to place the CEE interface into trunk mode.

switch(conf-if-te-0/10)#

switchport mode trunk none

5. Enter the switchport trunk allowed vlan remove

vlan_id

command to disable a vlan on a trunk

interface.

switch(conf-if-te-0/10)#

switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 100

Configuring an interface port as a converged interface

Each CEE interface port supports admission policies based on whether the frames are untagged or
tagged. Converged mode admits both tagged and untagged frames. Frames egressing are tagged
automatically.

To configure the interface as converged interface, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC
mode.

1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2. Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.

switch(config)#

interface tengigabitethernet 0/1

3. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.

4. Enter the switchport command to set the tagged VLAN on the interface to 100.

switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#

switchport converged allowed vlan add 100

5. Enter the switchport mode converged command to configure the interface as converged port.

switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#

switchport mode converged
