Chapter 3: Bridging Configuration Guide
Configuring a Port or Protocol based VLAN
To create a port or protocol based VLAN, perform the following steps in the Configure
mode.
1. Create a port or protocol based VLAN.
2. Add physical ports to a VLAN.
Creating a Port or Protocol Based VLAN
To create a VLAN, enter the following command in Configure mode.
Adding Ports to a VLAN
To add ports to a VLAN, enter the following command in Configure mode.
Configuring VLAN Trunk Ports
The SSR supports standards-based VLAN trunking between multiple SSRs as defined by
IEEE 802.1Q. 802.1Q adds a header to a standard Ethernet frame which includes a unique
VLAN id per trunk between two SSRs. These VLAN IDs extend the VLAN broadcast
domain to more than one SSR.
To configure a VLAN trunk, enter the following command in the Configure mode.
Configuring VLANs for Bridging
The SSR allows you to create VLANs for AppleTalk, DECnet, SNA, and IPv6 traffic as well
as for IP and IPX traffic. You can create a VLAN for handling traffic for a single protocol,
such as a DECnet VLAN. Or, you can create a VLAN that supports several specific
protocols, such as SNA and IP traffic.
Note: Some commands in this facility require updated SSR hardware. Please refer to the
Release Notes for details.
