NOTE:
•
As the system default VLAN, VLAN 1 cannot be created or deleted.
•
Before you delete a dynamic VLAN or a VLAN locked by an application, you must first remove
the configuration from the VLAN.
Configuring VLAN interfaces
Hosts of different VLANs use VLAN interfaces to communicate at Layer 3. VLAN interfaces are
virtual interfaces that do not exist as physical entities on devices. For each VLAN, you can create
one VLAN interface and assign an IP address to it. The VLAN interface acts as the gateway of the
VLAN to forward packets destined for another IP subnet at Layer 3.
Before you create a VLAN interface for a VLAN, create the VLAN first.
To configure basic settings of a VLAN interface:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Create a VLAN interface
and enter its view.
interface vlan-interface
interface-number
If the VLAN interface already exists,
you enter its view directly.
By default, no VLAN interfaces exist.
3.
Assign an IP address to
the VLAN interface.
ip
address
ip-address
{
mask
|
mask-length
} [
sub
]
By default, no IP address is assigned to
a VLAN interface.
4.
Configure the description
for the VLAN interface.
description text
The default setting is the VLAN
interface name. For example,
Vlan-interface1 Interface
.
5.
(Optional.) Specify a traffic
processing slot for the
VLAN interface.
In standalone mode:
service slot
slot-number
In IRF mode:
service chassis
chassis-number
slot
slot-number
By default, no traffic processing slot is
specified for the VLAN interface. Traffic
on a VLAN interface is processed on
the slot at which the traffic arrives.
6.
Set the MTU for the VLAN
interface.
mtu size
The default setting is 1500 bytes.
7.
Set a MAC address for the
VLAN interface.
mac-address mac-address
By default, the MAC address of a VLAN
interface is not configured.
8.
Set the expected
bandwidth for the
interface.
bandwidth
bandwidth-value
By default, the expected bandwidth (in
kbps) is the interface baud rate divided
by 1000.
9.
(Optional.) Restore the
default settings for the
VLAN interface.
